Wilder, Kovalev, GGG. Rank them in punching power.

[Queen_Leia]

Lol, Lemieux is not even on the same planet as far as punching power, even if his is respectable. The guy needs to fight more.

I definitely agree with you on that part

[-Kev-]

Wilder hasn't proved his power at the top level, Thurman has fought better opponents. Golovkin has knocked out guys who have been KO'ed before or are of a lower level, but at least were top 10. Kovalev is the hardest puncher from those 3 and proved it against Cleverly.

Here's my list:

Hardest Active Punchers:

1. Wlad
2. Kovalev
3. Froch
4. Golovkin
5. Thurman
6. Stevenson
7. Kirkland
8. Matthysse
9. Maidana
10. M. Garcia
11. Kessler
12. Cotto
13. Broner
14. Thompson
15. Stiverne

Pound for pound ggg hits the hardest,kovalev 2nd and wilder 3rd. Wilder has yet to fight a guy ranked higher than #33. Will he keep winning by ko when and if he starts actually fighting top 10 heavyweight contenders?

[slimshandy69]

what does opponent rank have to do with a fighter's power? Does the higher ranked opponent have a better chin?

Kovalaev has koed two world champions and many undeated fighters, some 20+fights undeated.

Who the **** has wilder koed apart Zenoff or what ever the **** his name is???

ggg has koed many top 10 fighters

Both GGG and Kovalev have had equal or in Kovalaevs case 10 less fights than Wilder...

I can agree with 1 and 2. But you think Froch hits harder then Golovkin?

Interesting.


Froch is obviously the bigger man, and may possibly pack a bigger punch then Golovkin, but "P4P" I think Golovkin hits harder. But that's just me.


Who's Thompson? My mind is going blank.... Tony Thompson?

[-Kev-]

Guys that seem powerful but need to prove it against better opposition:

1. Wilder
2. Bute
3. Jacobs
4. Ant Dirrell
5. Uchiyama
6. Rubio
7. Walters
8. Lemieux
9. Quigg
10. Stevens

(Could KO lower level guys, but not the Brinkley's and Findley's of the world, i'm not convinced)

Froch is very powerful, considering he was fighting the Death row of resume he has a 70 percent Ko ratio.

Throw in the fact that alot of his punches you can see a mile off, shows that he just blungens you to submission.

But if you see the Yusef mack body shots and the george groves ko, p4p hes got bone crunching power.

The reason I put Froch over Golovkin is because I found his 5 round slaughter of Bute and his one punch KO of Groves, as well as his 12th round come from behind KO of Taylor, more impressive than Golovkin's KO's vs Macklin, Geale, Proksa, Stevens.

The rest of the KO's on GGG's resume I consider no better than Yusaf Mack, who Froch crushed in 2 rounds.

Sergio Thompson, he's a top 10 SFW, he has very good power.

[T18Z]

GGG has the best resume of the three, so his power is the most proven.

Pretty much this.

True, the top guys he couldn't KO, Ward, Kessler, Dirrell, Pascal, Abraham, Johnson, have never been KO'ed at the time and still haven't. With the exception of Johnson who's previous KO loss was almost 15 years prior and only now lost by TKO a second time in his career almost 20 years apart and at Cruiserweight. Abraham suffered his first TKO last year but he was okay, it was as technical a KO as it can get where the doc stopped it over his eye rather than AA actually getting put down or something.
