Haye would top the list for me.
Even coming in light at 210, he has freak power. It's not just the heavy hands with him either, it's the explosive speed that goes with the power. Walk onto one of those lightning quick punches from Haye that you didn't see coming and it's over...see Chisora.
Wlad and Bailey are other good picks.
It's not that the speed comes with the power, his power comes from his speed.

You must be trolling, Alvarez a harder P4P puncher than Haye???????
Haye KTFO guys 30lbs bigger than him, Alvarez wears down and clubs midgets.
yah i think alvarez's power is a bit overrated...he couldn't even drop or keep off an old mosley who was coming forward at him all night.
Pure punchers are something of a dying breed.
Randall Bailey is one that hasn't been mentioned.
Haye and Wlad are probably the two top ones.
First 3 to come to mind for me too. As soon as I read the thread title I had a flashback of that uppercut Jones took.
Donaire is still a monster puncher. I don't care that his last couple of fights have gone the distance, he has still seriously hurt the guys that he has fought in a higher weight class and forced them to be weary of his power and fight defensively
bailey, donaire, bute would be my picks. abraham, alvarez or wlad could make the list also. haye and vitali are nowhere near the top3 biggest p4p punchers in boxing.
from the 'successful list' it would have to be Haye, Wlad and Bailey.....but I'm sure there are a lot of stronger hitters out there who perhaps ain't as successful.
Special mention to the best timer ever in the sport (which is the real science of boxing, power and timing) and that goes to King Kostya Tszyu!
Cesar Rene Cuenca (43-0, 1 KO)
This guy is the hardest puncher in boxing today. Had he not been matched against the 42 toughest-chinned guys in the world, the entire boxing world would know the kind of real power that he possesses. The one guy he faced that only had a normal chin, was devastatingly KO'd. :D
