Stevenson also has more punchers on his resume.
Kovalev and Beterbiev won't near a puncher.
i've noticed that that kov hasnt faced punchers....Good ole Chickenson as they call him has though....
stevenson puts you to sleep
Kovalev breaks you down
Beterbiev hasnt fought anyone worth much
Smith needs to fight a few more top guys for us to really know
at the moment Stevenson is the best one punch ko artist at 175
its clear to see....How many one punch kayos do the other guys have?
LOL ... Smith Jr has shown so much flaws in the fights I've seen from him that I don't give him 3 rounds against Stevenson, Kovalev, Gvozdyk or Beterbiev... Ward would make him look stupid for 12 rounds... Fonfara was rocking him bad until he brain farted and Hopkins, well, you know ... And Even then Hopkins looked good at times winning rounds...
yet he still KOed Fonfara and Hopkins despite not having any skills.
it's pure raw powah. what do you not get?
Joe Smith Jr imo hits harder than all of them. He has no skills. So he has to make up for it with power.
He KOed Fonfara who Stevenson couldn't KO.
He KOed Hopkins bad who Sergey didn't KO.
At the minimum his KO power is more proven than say Bieterbiev.

come off it dude, in what universe was williams a top 5 light heavyweight? :lol1:
i personally had him top 5 p4p :hail::hail::hail:
same universe where there is a word called close.
by which i was thinking 6 or 7, maybe 8. my point was that he was certainly in the top 15 and then some.
kovalev, ward, stevenson, beterbiev, hopkins, pascal would rank ahead of him at the time. maybe alvarez altough i dont see what he had done that compares to beating rodriguez in devastating fashion.
that would put him at 7 (not counting alvarez) close to the top 5, at least when compared to having him outside the top 15.
williams was top 15, close to top 5 before stevenson beat him in fact. he was just coming off a KO win in a firefight with rodriguez who can crack himself and nailed williams with some massive shots.
darnell boone may not be a top flight fighter but his durability is world class and adonis faceplanted him too. then there is the dawson KO and even if sukhotsky isnt much of a fighter, as far as sheer power goes that KO was still impressive.
for me all that clearly surpasses anything anyone else has done as far as proving their punching power.

i presented fact's, you presented opinion and namecalling.
:lame: I listed facts, Hopkins's was a fossil that Kovalev couldn't Krishna. You used your opinion, Bellew has always been a decent fighter. You also insulted me by suggesting that I didn't know what I was talking about.

Vs sub level opposition
the last time he faced someone decent in fonfara...he went the distance.
fonfara later gets stopped in a round v smith.
'good chin's ' eh ? bika had a good chin and he couldnt stop him either...
i wouldnt say he was the hardest puncher in the division until he KO's someone in the top 15.
anyone can ko some bum's/ low level opposition.

Stopping guys that can punch is different..that's what Stevenson does.
Kovalev is stopping guys that can't punch.
Kovalev couldn't stop Hopkins...a guy that was just KTFO by a construction worker.:lol1:
Stevenson is stopping guys that can actually punch.
Never underestimate the power of a common man Ross Purrity...
See the election results if you don't believe me.. :lol1:
Cover up, your bias is showing. I guess if he went 12 with a relic you would be lauding him as the hardest puncher, lol. Kovalev hit a fossil with every punch he could throw after going 11 rounds and still couldn't do anything.
i presented fact's, you presented opinion and namecalling.
:lame:
Fonfara got KO'd way before stevenson by a journeyman, and bellew has always been garbage regardless of the weight, now he's picked up a belt you can say he's now a good opponent with hindsight :lol1:
You dont know what youre talking about son.Cover up, your bias is showing. I guess if he went 12 with a relic you would be lauding him as the hardest puncher, lol. Kovalev hit a fossil with every punch he could throw after going 11 rounds and still couldn't do anything.
Stevenson crushed the cruiser weight champion Bellew. Fonfara's chin has eroded from the beating that he took from Stevenson
