POLL: Who Is The Hardest Puncher At Heavyweight?

Wladimir has the hardest one-punch KO power.
Haye could be the second hardest, but I need to see him against a couple more heavyweights to know for sure.
Brewster has a very hard right, he's definitely in the top five.
Arreola has some power, although he seems to need an accumulation of punches to do damage to anyone with a decent chin. He's likely in the top five.
Dimitrenko has decent power, and is in the top 10.
Vitali has some one-punch power, but usually does damage with an accumulation of hard, accurate, hurting punches. Vitali's perhaps in the top five, definitely in the top 10.
Maskaev is not even close, all his KOs have come from an accumulation of punches. Rahman was virtually out on his feet already when Maskaev knocked him through the ropes in 1999. I thought TheManchine knew the heavyweights better than that!
Virchis may have had the hardest punch a couple of years ago, but he lost muscle during this past spring and summer, being fed up with Universum, and so he's not kept his strength at it's maximum.
Peter has some power, but he seems to need to resort to hitting behind the head when he fights someone with a good chin.
Boytsov would be a powerful cruiserweight, but he doesn't have Klitschko-like one-punch power as a heavyweight. He hit Hawkins with his best shots, and Robert didn't go down.Comment

O.M: Yes, I beat Vitali as an amateur. I didn't knock him out, but I beat him in one round - his trainer threw the towel in because I was hurting him so badly. He [Vitali] doesn't want to talk about it, but he knows it happened. I would love to fight him again, to prove I can beat him.Comment

Is there even an official record of that fight ever taking place?
Many fighters brag about this and that that happened in sparring and "amateur" bouts, but what really counts is what happens in the major amateur tournaments and professional fights.
It would be Maskaev who might not last a round with Vitali, neither now nor 5-10 years ago.Comment
