Is Wlad a much harder single puncher than AJ?

[Simurgh]

I was surprised to see that Pulev took so much from AJ before finally being KOed.

Comparing the 2 fights, made me think that AJ doesn’t have a single puch of Wlad or Wilder. However, he is an exeptional combination pucher where he can put 3-4 very hard punches together that would cause serious damage.

[Earl-Hickey]

all three of them hit hard enough to KO anyone, you can't really measure punching power based on who ko'd who quicker

I suspect wlads straight right has a bit more on it than AJ but also Pulev was fighting a lot cagier.

AJ ktfo Povetkin which Wlad could not so there's evidence both ways

But it just comes back to you don't want to be taking anything clean off either of them

[PRINCEKOOL]

Joshua has clearly changed his training, and it has affected his power slightly.

I will expect Joshua to increase in weight for his next fight, between 242-245 pounds would be more optimal.

Joshua hits hard and overall probably has a more lethal offense than Wilder 'But but both Kiltschko and Wilder with a single punch maybe hit harder'.

[REDEEMER]

Pulev was more focused in this fight and a lesser fighter then A.J loses .A.J had to work harder to get cleaner shots off and the bell saved Pulev in round 3 .

Pulev overlooked Wlad I remember,he stated he had no heart and was arrogant and smug thinking he would win easily, he found out otherwise.

Does Wlad carry more one punch power ? Probably but it’s not significant and A.J really learning to get the right angles on his shots ,he took his time and showed he’s still the best finisher in the fight game .

[Sparked_26]

Think it is more than enough to change the course of a fight with one shot with any heavyweight in the world including Fury if he lands his best.

But yeah some of Wlad's finishes and Wlads are just off a single shot.

Academic really. Nobody can hold too many shots of AJ full stop

[Simurgh]

I agree that AJ has the best combo puches, and that’s what always seems to hurt anyone, but I am not sure how hard a single pucher he is. The reason for asking is that I cannot see AJ catching Tyson with more than single punches, and I am not sure if he can KO him with a single punch.

[Butt stuff]

That leaping left hook that Wlad detonated on Pulev didn’t even look that devastating but it sent him out.

To this day im still amazed Joshua got up after that straight and a left hook as he was falling down.

That leaping left hook that Wlad detonated on Pulev didn’t even look that devastating but it sent him out.

Its such a weird delivery and doesnt look natural but its knocked so many out.

He has always been.
