Currently it has to be Wladimir ... I may not be a fan of his or his style but he has crazy power. In both hands too ... some of his KOs are just vicious.

But how do you think he compares with some of the past boxers who are generally acclaimed to be very hard hitters?

Is he in the same class as Foreman or Shavers who are both accepted as the two hardest punchers in boxing history?

Its hard for any us who are just watching these guys unload on their opponents to measure or gauge their power but you can get some idea from watching them and from their reputation. KO's and KO% can be misleading because some guys achieve KO wins via volume punching, like Vitali. There is no way Vitali hits harder than Wlad but he has a higher KO ratio, due to the collective effects of his punches.

Anyway I have Wladimir as a top 10 power puncher, all time, for sure. I think he might have one of the hardest jabs of all time, like top 5 in terms of power.
