1) Wladimir-I know hes a heavyweight, but the big thing for me is that he is a defensive safty first fighter with a 80% ko ratio. Dont get me wrong, the KovalevS, Stevensons, and Golovkins of the world ae massive punchers. But they are offensive fighters, Fighting on the front foot and throwing a high volume of punches. If you look at Wald against Povetkin, he literally carried povetkin, but even so his left hook in the 2nd round ****ed povertkin up. Easy power and number 1 for me.
2) Dmitry kudryashov-Im only holding back from him being number 1 as hes not fought elite Cruiserweights yet. But p4p hes fought some ok, experied guys, who are not easy to get out. He literally destroys them. This left hook below says it all. That is one punch power.

Artus Beterbiev- Very impressive power. The campillo kncokout was incredible and arguebl a knockout of the year early contender. I like his short sharp simple punches that ****s you over. He gets extra marks for not even looking at his oppoents plight whilst putting the to sleep.

Sergey kovalev-This guy can bang. Ambidexterous. The reason hes below the other guys is because hes a high volume puncher, who i feel softens them up often first. Hits anything he sees, arms, Chest, body, anything. And every punch will mark you up...However he showed impressive power against silakh. No softening process here...

5) Adonis stevens- Yes i have hom above Golovkin for power. Why? I feel Golovkin ko's opponets due to his skils rather than power. Dont get me wrong, the daniel geale fight shows the power Genedy has. But Adonis for me isnt as skillful, therefore its even more impressive how hard he hits. Hes not as much a volume puncher as GGG or Kovalev. Which makes his ko of dawson so impressive.

Most definitely here is the ending of his last fight against faded world title challenger Valery Brudov.
He is back out on May 22 against Mirko Larghetti on the same bill as Kudryashov & Povetkin vs Takam.
holy ****...
YEAH I cant believe i didnt mention Lemule.
Should i check out this Rakhim Chakhkiev?

1. Lucas Matthysse
2-3. GGG or David LeMule

Honourable mentions; K.Ovalev & Stevenson

1. Matthysse. The purest puncher in boxing today. Perfect, effortless mechanics, sets it up boxing from range, and so many of his knockouts and knockdowns were one-punch detonations from nowhere. Maidana is more of a thudding puncher and doesn't compare to Lucas.
2. Kovalev
3. Golovkin
4. Inoue
5. Mikey Garcia
Agree, Matthysse is probably the best pure power puncher.
Anyone who considers pacquiao a top 5 or 10 power punched is a complete Tard
At the lower weights Pacquiao was a world class puncher. Not the best pound for pound puncher even at the low weights but an extremely good puncher nonetheless. However, a lot of his power came from the surprise of his shots due to the speed and angles.
While on topic, might as well throw Haye in there. Haye is a ridiculously powerful puncher pound for pound. The only reason not to include him on the list is because he's probably retired.

That's a solid list. However I would rank Rob Salsa ahead of Bradley.Yeah,I slipped up a bit there the lightning Rod definitely belongs at the top of the list.

I agree with everyone on that list aside from Stevenson. I think I'd put inoue over him, but he can definitely bang as well. Kudryashov looks downright scary, his last two fights combined barely lasted more than a minute and both guys aren't pushovers.
