I voted for Wlad since you said KOing someone with one punch. I think his straight right is the hardest punch I have seen. All of the boxers on the list are great punchers. The new power punchers hit extremely hard, especially AJ.

There are quite a few HWs who had a bigger punch. Foreman, Lewis, Rudduck, Tua immediately come to mind...

Mike Tyson. No question in my mind. If I had to hand out a second place trophy, it'd probably go to Foreman. But Tyson wasn't only strong, but in his prime he had that absolutely beautiful snapping motion with his arm. It was like he wasn't content to out power his opponent, he had to jolt them to sleep by whipping his arms. I mean the guy was KOing people in under 10 seconds in the amateurs. In his prime, I don't think there is a man in history who could take one freebie shot and not go down. He was just that kind of once in a lifetime hitter.

It's hard to say. In terms of pure power, Wlad's right hand was technically perfect and extremely powerful.
Lewis whilst just a hair short of Wlad's power, proved his power in bigger fights / against better opposition. Most if not all of Wlad's big big fights ended in decisions - Peter, Ibragimov, Haye, Povetkin etc.
In terms of power/opposition combined, you'd have to give the edge to Foreman imo. Whilst technically far inferior to Wlad and Lewis, his cannonball hands left many people damaged.
