HBO's Current Top 10 P4P Sparko Merchants. Fact.

Lee and Maidana shouldnt be on the list and would replace them with AJ and Inoue. Its a P4P list so level of opponent should be taken into account and Maidana and Wilder look lacking to me at the top level.

So you throw in Anthony Joshua? Who has he knocked out a HW worth a shit?

How can Deontay not be p4p on the hardest punchers list? He's 219-229lbs and he is the hardest banger at HW (which makes him the hardest banger in boxing), and he's fighting guys that have anywhere from 10-30lbs on him. Stiverne had 20lbs on him.

Anthony Joshua is a 250lb man.

He KOd Johnson who went the distance with Vitali and Fury. He stopped Love in 2 who went the distance with Briggs and 10 with Charles Martin. Wilder can obviously punch but failing to stop the only fighter with a pulse on his rec (including he was sick for the fight) is a telling sign that his power may be overrated. I question how a guy who goes 9 rounds with Eric Molina can be considered the hardest banger at heavyweight.

Yeah but you're saying what they can do on the world class and then you're talking about guys like Kingpin and Love, who are complete garbage. Johnson was durable as hell, I'll give you that, but he's also 35 now, 6 years removed from going the distance with Vitali, and his career has been on a downward spiral ever since (I don't consider Fury to be a big HW puncher either, to be honest).

If you're talking about p4p power, you have to give it to Deontay. Anthony Joshua has about 30lbs of solid muscle on Deontay, and Wilder is still the biggest banger at HW. I don't think having an overly cautious outing against Molina takes that away. Molina was stopped early by Arreola, but that was a fight where Molina hurt Arreola and got caught going wild for the finish. Against Deontay, he fought very conservatively and was constantly waiting to counter, he never gave Wilder much to work off of.
