Is Wlad a much harder single puncher than AJ?

[Noelanthony]

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

Well said.... This proves you are not all the way crazy as you would like us to believe

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.

You are absolutely spot on, you aren’t going to be catching this Fury with a combo, nor are you going to catch him with the same punch twice.

AJ’s only hope is to catch Fury with something that he doesn’t see, or for him to “win” on the scorecard AKA Robbery.

That right hand of Wlad alone packs more punch than anything AJ throws

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.

Wlad knocked Pulev down several times, just like AJ. Depending on the shot and how it connects it could be argued either way

Wlad's left hook was harder than any punch AJ has, so was his straight right.

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

It did actually. That was a picture perfect transfer of force, from the legs all the way to the fist.

Yeah I think Wlad has got more single punch power. Joshua more variety.

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

But they said he’s chinny and can’t take a punch.

[BangEM]

Wlad hits harder than AJ with both hands. But AJ has more variety with his punches.

I think AJ’s most lethal punch that is his uppercut.

[Scopedog]

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

I remember when I first watched that fight, the TV crews caught a really great angle on it and caught the whole thing in brilliant slow-mo. The thing that I remember is that you can see Pulev's cheek reddening even as he toppled to the canvas in slow-mo, probably less than a second in real time. I'm convinced that punch broke his cheekbone.

That said it was a single right straight shot that Joshua finished Pulev off with, and it really knocked him sprawling. I think that punch was nearly as good as Wlad's hook. You can probably argue it either way but I don't think there's a whole lot in it.

AJ isnt the same fighter since the ruiz loss. AJ is more cautious now. So he doesnt sit on his punches as much. He is scared to get hit now.

Pulev shouldnt have made it out of round 3. AJ aint a killer anymore. He is a tko waiting to happen
