Top 5 P4P hardest punchers

[John Locke]

This is all subjective of course, but my top 5:

1. Golovkin
2. Matthysse
3. Kovalev
4. Manny
5. Haye

Your top 5, or even top 10?

just power? as in who can hit a bag or a mitt the hardest?

i gotta have gonzalez up there.

if bailey was in his prime i'd have him too.


golovkin
matthysse
wladimir
wilder (wilder? wilder.)
pacquiao
mikey garcia
and nonito donaire.

i'm not ready to add kovalev yet, but his hands are very heavy. he doens't even look like he's trying to punch hard, and guys go down.

Some good shouts there.

Keith Thurman gets an honourable mention from me as well. He's a solid puncher.

thurman looks like an explosive guy.


i should have put haye on my list, now that i think about it some more. when he hits guys flush they get hurt or go down, and he's a small HW.

Randall Bailey
Lucas Matthysse
Golovkin
Kovalev
Rigondeaux - Despite Nonito being the far bigger guy, I felt Rigondeaux looked the puncher in there. The guy hits incredibly hard for such a small guy.

very fair, imo. tiny guy with a knockout punch. bonafide punchers at 122 and 118 lbs have been few and far between in history. he can't hit as hard as donaire, though.

5 Lucas Matthysse

You guys pretty much nailed all the best names already. I would have to add Adonis Stevenson to the list as well. He has some highlight reel KO's.
