Who's the hardest p4p puncher currently
I was thinking a guy like Valero but he hasn't really fought anyone amazing yet so i'm not sure..
Hatton was a pretty hard puncher to, so is Margarito. anyways..thoughts..
1-Edwin Valero
2-David Haye
3-Wladimir Kitschko
4-Kelly Pavlik
5-Manny Pacquiao
6-Kermit Cintron
7-Edison Miranda
8-O'neil Bell
9-Juan Manuel Lopez
10-Daniel Ponce De Leon
how could it possibly be wlad when peter hits harder imo...
peter is slow and clumsy but his one quality is his power,.
so if wlad isn't the hardest puncher in his division how could he be the p4p puncher?
of course he hits hard, but he's the heavyweight champ!!
dont tell that to mccline or shufford. wlad hits harder than peter dude. peter is just strong. his power is very overrated. his punches are just too long and lack the snap to put the lights out on quality fighters
Miranda and Abraham are just heavy handed fighters, in terms of power I don't think they'd be no.1 It would be someone with explosive 1 punch knockout power.
Really? What would you call these examples?
To me that's devastating one-punch KTFO-power carried even late in a fight.

For sheer one-punch kayo power I believe this title should go to Arthur Abraham. Easy.
Wlad
Haye
Cintron
Torres
------------
Pavlik
Pacquiao
Abraham
Valero
-----------
Kessler
Miranda
Cotto
No Vazquez, Raf Marquez, or JuanMa Lopez on that list ?
Neither Margarito nor Hatton belong anywhere near this thread.
How about Wladimir Klitschko? That guy's right hand is deadly.
P4P Knumbnuts!
Haye can hit harder than Wlad
That's true, but to truly judge pound for pound power, you'd have to measure one's punching power, one's weight and then do the math.
What, with a machine ?
If that's what you're saying....wouldn't apply. I'd saya guy like Miguel Cotto would probably have a heavier measured punch than prime Thonas Hearns. But, in the ring, it's no contest- Hearns is a top 5-10 lb4lb hitter, while Cotto doesn't even register.
I would lean towards Abraham as the biggest P4P puncher.
His half left hook/uppercut has devastated a lot of opponents if he lands that cleanly. It is a monster punch that turns his opponents into bobbleheads.
I don't consider Pavlik a top P4P puncher. He is just extremely heavy handed and knows how to really beat guys up. He works for his KO's by wearing down a guys resistance. He does not even load up on his shots. His KO ratio is so high because he never looks to land a big punch, just lots of hard ones. He has the ability to knock out iron chinned guys because of this.
It doesn't make sense how people can judge it though, of course Pacquiao hits P4P harder than Malignaggi.
But how can you judge that Klitschko is P4P a harder hitter than Haye.. or Valero?
It'd take a scientific study.
How can you effectively judge Valero's power, when he's been belting out marginal guys ?
Like I said, Wlad hits people & hurts them. But, he is hitting guys much smaller than himself, so it's hard to judge.
Now, if Haye moves up & KO's bigger guys at heavy, then you know he's a serious puncher in the lb4lb sense.
How can Wladimir Klitschko have POUND FOR POUND the hardest punch?
For starters he's heavyweight, and this whole concept is shite.
I understand where you're coming from, but also understand including a heavy in such a list.
Wlad can punch, no doubt....but, considering he is almost always much larger than his foes, the lb4lb thing actually HURTS his status.
I'd say Vazquez, because he's scoring KO's over excellent comp, & has the ability to turn around any fight at any time.
But, if he comes close to living up to his potential, Juan Manuel Lopez will soon be the #1 hitter in the sport. His right hook is deadly perfection.
Wladimir Klitchsko.
Juan Manuel Lopez blowing out Daniel Ponce De Leon in one round is a good candidate. Israel Vasquez is up there too.
Vasquez and Marquez are both good candidates.
how could it possibly be wlad when peter hits harder imo...
peter is slow and clumsy but his one quality is his power,.
so if wlad isn't the hardest puncher in his division how could he be the p4p puncher?
of course he hits hard, but he's the heavyweight champ!!
