Who is the hardest puncher in boxing????

[afterpunk]

Paulie Malignaggi. It is a well known fact that he used to hold his punches to improve his speed and avoid ring fatalities.

pulev was almost 2 years ago, and IIRC he actually got up after a lot of big shots.

in wladimir's last fight he literally barely threw punches. even admitted it . if fury can pass the drug test yoy're goign to see wladimir go out there and throw even fewer punches, realize he's done, and retire.

He didn't throw punches in his last fight because of Tyson Fury, not because he's suddenly shot. Pulev was only two fights ago.

This has been discussed at length here.

hi can anyone tell me who is the hardest puncher in boxing today??

Well it's a Heavyweight maybe Wilder but P4P probably GGG or Kovalev. I don't know what you mean P4P or who's the hardest puncher cause if thats the case it's someone in the Heavyweight division. Wilder ,Jousha would come to my mind

[Sadiqkingofko]

I second that.. But not necessarily in that order..

Ya I don't really know who his harder out of those three since I haven't fought them but there the top 3

Kovalev is that kind of fighter who hasn't to hit you flush to hurt you.

Jason Gavern fought Wilder and sparred Joshua early in his career ...he said they were about equal . The thing is he was getting hit harder by Wilder because it was an actual fight ,while Joshuas punches hurt him all over with bigger gloves on trying not to knock him out .

Joshua is more heavy handed and has better technique with more weight behind his punch and is bigger and stronger now ....... Joshua hits harder than Wilder !

Klitchko is 40 now and even a few years back it would be hard to tell who hit harder ....for this reason i go with.........


1 / Joshua
2/ Klitchko
3/ Wilder

As the top 3 current hardest hitters !

I don't know if Wilder is the hardest puncher, but the is something to be said for bending pins in a hand you have already broken and had surgically repaired.

Seen a piece on this subject on one of the boxing websites the other day. They ask a couple of boxers/pundits, although i can't recall who.

2 went with Kovalev, 1 for GGG, 1 for Wilder and 1 for Joshua.
