Biggest "1-Punch" Knockout Artist Today

Ok. Now, I want to be serious for a second. No bagging or any of that ****. Wlad is a great puncher. I don't think anyone can dispute that. But, as to the question, this is about one punch KO power. So, it could be a fighter that loses an entire fight then brings it home by hitting the other guy with one single punch and it's all over.
Wald is a great boxer and he generally uses his jab, and stays away for while boxing for the large part of the fight and wears his opponent down before starting to throw the right hand more which then accumulates to take him out later.
Really, most of his knockouts come from accumulation and his great jab. He isn't really a huge single punch knockout artist. He certainly has incredible power and his record %, being the highest ever for a champion HW along with his brother, is amazing but that doesn't actually mean he's the hardest single P4P puncher today. His power is very good but the majority of his KO's still come from an accumulation of punishment via his jab and right hand over the course of a fight.
He doesn't really come into the same mold as a Tommy Hearns or Julian Jackson. Of course, this doesn't take anything away from how great he is as he uses more skill than Jackson does who had to rely on his power to win him fights quite often because he wasn't as skilled as the other guy whereas Wlad is more skilled than his opponents and also has very good power, but would you agree that it is more due to accumulation and his great skills as a boxer that he gets all of his KO's rather than having nothing but one punch KO power like Jackson?
So, would you also say that while Wlad is a much better fighter than say... Edwin Valero, and his KO % is the highest ever for a HW champ apart from Vit, that he doesn't possess as much knockout power in one single punch, even though he is a much better champion and has more skills as a boxer?Last edited by BennyST; 10-09-2009, 02:14 AM.Comment

Actually I'm not sure. No one at elite can drop elites down like they use toLast edited by PensionKiller; 10-09-2009, 03:39 AM.Comment

HELLO people Tomasz Ademek, all 3 of his knockdowns of Cunningham were single hits. Look what he did to Dawson while weight drained and in the late rounds. Look what he did to Banks
Ademek is the only fighter out right now who has the George Foreman, Mike Tyson, Julian Jackson type power. Valero has power too but not the 1 punch power.Comment
