Who is the hardest puncher in the sport currently P4P ?

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

I think were overrating Abraham just a little based on his dramatic last round knockout... Its not like it was the 1st time he hit Taylor, plus it was the 12th round.

Valero is obviously the biggest p4p puncher in one hand, that big left but i thought i'd go for Lopez, he has sickening K.O power in both hands and yes it brought with sharp speedy punches but the question was hardest puncher not most heavy handed

I'd say they were two different questions.

[skel1983]

I think David Haye should be added to that list.

[Pugilistic]

I think David Haye should be added to that list.

I totally forgot about Haye.

I totally forgot about Haye.

You just know Lyle will have some remark to make about that! Lol

[johnmaff36]

I voted Valero simply because hes did everything asked of him to date. I know theres a lot of padding in his record but this guy can really bang

[El Kabong]

I think David Haye should be added to that list.

...and they say I'm a fanboy

Galaxy, Tua ain't what he used to be

Yes biggest Haye fanboy on here

I mean looking at his stats yes I have to agree he cant punch for shit:

91.3% ko rate 21/22 opponents ko'd, only opponent to go 12 was because Haye wanted to go 12.

Lyle you are a cock sometimes mate serious. Im not talking about his ability im talking about his power which is very good and deffo top 20 p4p.

Even back to the Am's the right he caught Solis with at the World Champs imagine that was with 10 oz gloves and no headgear, Solis would of been put to sleep.

Sure he's KO'd a ton of guys, but his power has to carry to heavyweight for him to be considered a P4P power puncher and so far he's KO'd 2 guys who have already been KO'd and his record is littered with guys who had been KO'd before he got to them.

Haye was the FIRST to stop: Lasse Johanssen and Giacobbe Fragomeni...that is all

You compare that to Wlad and Vitali and who they have stopped it's obvious Haye doesn't belong in the picture YET. Had he moved from 175 to cruiserweight and to heavyweight KO-ing everyone left and right YES I would agree with you putting him in there but right now it's a little premature.

BUT he has still KO'd pretty much everyone that has been put in front of him and Fragomeni was a good KO when you consider he hasn't been KO'd or beaten for that matter since and is now WBC champ at 40 and is facing Zsolt Erdei next, which will no doubt be a big test.

[El Kabong]

I understand that but if you compare him to other heavyweights alone he's a touch behind the curve.

Wlad was the first to stop: Chagaev, Brock, Thompson, Brewster, Mercer

Vitali was the first to stop: Sam Peter, Arreola, Kirk Johnson, Larry Donald

Those aren't even the full lists of guys the Klitschko's were the first to stop, but the impressive thing is that those fighters they stopped had fought and beaten or lasted the distance with other big time power punchers.

I am fully aware a chin can go bad after getting cracked and all, but I'm just saying what the Klitschko's have done at heavyweight puts them ahead of Haye in the P4P rankings.

[ryanman]

I also think David Haye should be on the list. We can only go on what he has done so far, which is blast out pretty much everyone. Time will tell at heavy though.

Oh yea and Lyle, i noticed on boxrec that Solis was extended the full 8 by the one and only Julius Long. The very same Julius Long that was taken out in 2 by Audley Harrison.
Not sure why i feel i should tell you that, but for some reason i think it might be of interest to you.

I dont know enough about all of the boxers ability and achievements so im not gonna guess, but i have to agree with this chap ryanman, David Hayes delivered a convincing amout of mighty ferocious blows in the cruiserweight devision. But like ryanman Im holding judgement til a couple of fights further into his career until I start vouching for his pound for pound punching ability.

[Galaxy]

I think David Haye should be added to that list.

Galaxy, Tua ain't what he used to be

Agreed but that power is still there!

[Manuel "Chubby" Medina]

If by hardest puncher you mean 1 punch KO power then id say itz
Wlad,Gamboa,Valero,Abraham
In that order.
