Agreed he's at the very least B tier, the fact he didn't face the best opposition due to them ducking isn't his fault and also has nothing to do with his natural power

HURRICANE CARTER

@@TY-km8hj exactly the ducking was done by his opponents because they feared his power

@cagriyuksel6448 fr, I think he'd beat majority of them anyway

@@cagriyuksel6448 lol... bro GGG ducked SOG. He did his own ducking aswell

😂 exactly Gervonta is extremely overrated. He barely could KO glass jaw old Gamboa who ALMOST went the distance. Gervonta also went the distance with unknown Pitbull who had Gervonta running. Every other fighter Gervonta KOed was due to a Rehydration Clause or pulling smaller boxers up in weight and crushing tomatocans 😂

I agree that it should be the other way around no question about that but that Tank hasn't knocked out *anybody* of note is a bit exaggerated considering he KO'd Garcia, Romeo and Gamboa who were all champions.

@@TheBoxingRealm this is a Pound for Pound list, Davis is way smaller than Hearns, you can't compare their power by their K.O rate, someone his size putting people down with one shot is very impressive

@@Ar1AnX1x Even pound for pound wise Gervonta does not hit harder. Hearns carried power all the way to LHW. YDKSAB. Who has Gervonta KOed? Pulling fighters up 3 weight classes? Big tomatocans with "dehydration" clauses?

@@Ar1AnX1x Who did Gervonta KO in one shot? 👂🏼

Hearns was a Weightbully. He’s the Original Weightbully. You don’t get props for KOing people 50lbs lighter than you.

@@magacop5180 no matter what was his true weight - if you knock people out in the span of 43 pounds - you deserve to be really high on a list like this. A man like benn went up 8 pounds and lost maybe 30% of his punching, so a guy like hearns - koing people in that insane range feels to me not like a no brainer. You can call it weight bully or not - i dont see why he is placed in B

This is B of the all time greatest, it’s like saying he’s 15/20 Al all time

I agree thinking a puncher like him is on B for anything is crazy. But its a list of only the best of the best. So there aren't 20 better punchers in all boxing history

@@magacop5180 Didnt Hearns come in underweight at welter against Leonard! pretty sure that man was just Lanky

If you search top level boxer's IQs you'd be shocked. Ali had something like 85, yet he appeared and talked like one of the smartest on the planet. Boxing IQ is a completely different thing

Agreed. Foreman is a commonly underrated boxer, even in his earlier career, because he looks slow and cumbersome. But he developed a style to make the most of his physical attributes and made him very awkward to fight against.

@@S.O.A_Zerohe’s obviously talking about Foreman’s ring IQ, not how well George could match shapes in patterns

@@S.O.A_Zero obviously he was talking about fight IQ wtf 🤣 also any list ranking Mohammed Ali’s actual IQ as below average is obviously completely fucking inaccurate

@@kungfukxnnydee Man, since when do we rank fight IQ with numbers? Because the 83 in the original comment looks a lot like a reference to the IQ i was talking about

You are right, he should on here!

Walcott was great a master of the sweet science

👏👏👏 glad to see Walcott getting his respect man is criminally underrated.

the jersey joe shuffle

I saw a video the other day about a Russian boxer who used to knock out almost everyone he fought. Can't remember his name, cool though. I always figured if you could have tested the power of all these people, the highest would probably be someone not surprising, like George Foreman.

Davis doesnt even hit harder than Ggg

He is, they say Tank jas the power of a light Heavyweight and he is a Heavyweight

@@nananyantakyi1549whos he ko’ed in one punch?

@@nananyantakyi1549yea maybe Floyd or tank said that but he’s nowhere near that, he hits maybe like a middleweight or welterweight but he’s nowhere near heavy levels

Gerald mclellan pfp hardest right cross of all time

Agreed. "Every time he hit you he broke something."

I agree

in my opinion, the scariest fighter of all time ... his stare is death and his jail records are enough to destroy anyone ... his 15" fist ... better get a hammer ... Liston will hurt you and scare you ...

nah bro s is perfect for him

Plus it carried up the higher weight classes!

word. nobody did to Duran what Hearns did to him.

Purely based of power still one of the biggest hitters on this list p4p

The list is a fucking joke. Chavez 2 tiers higher than Duran? Hearns in B? Joe Louis higher than Liston? I mean hardly anything about this list makes sense

For sure, there aren't many fighters I know that can take Hearns' right hand

… but he has moved up in weight and KO’s the champ for the belt , twice!! And this is strictly about punching power anyway dam yall hate on bro so much yall forget yall don’t know boxing 😂 … in real life you’d fanboy out

@@mopar_keys hasn’t moved up like Hearn’s and fought the best . Tank has a padded record same as wilder .

@@robbielong2884 so world champions not enough?? It’ll be better if his team let YOU pick for him huh 🤔 😂😂😂🤦🏾‍♂️

@@mopar_keys Tank is HATED bro lol it’s funny and sad at this point

He was truly something...

Naoya inyoue top light puncher

Julian "ACTION" Jackson > KO Artist 100%

Single hardest puncher I have ever seen p4p. The theory was that he had extra muscle elasticity. When he threw a punch it was almost like a slingshot. Just generated so much torque on the punches. Not sure when we will ever see anybody like him again.

Wilder is a strange one to rank. He was a terrible boxer. Even a terrible fighter, but if he landed one of those rights it was generally going to be a victory. Because of that I would also have him in s+. You can't be that bad of a fighter and win that many fights without unreal stopping power.

@@operator0this man called wilder a terrible fighter , the disrespect and delusion is off the charts lol. If he is so terrible , go accomplish what he has then

@@ravensnation4902 I don't have his power, otherwise I could. Hell, almost anyone could if they had his power.

@@ravensnation4902 Tyson is so insanely overrated for power. I hit harder than him. His power came in all combos he doesn't have true one punch power like me or the others in S+

@@coachingconfidant2785who are you 😭

Good luck on your exam brother

You are brain dead..lol, Everyone testifies to Tanks power..They say he hits like a Light Heavyweight and he is a lightweight.

I don't think u can name a lightweight that can punch like tank in this Era.

@@Righthook.. teofimo Lopez lol, unlike tank he knocked out an undefeated lightweight champion in richard commey, same guy that Davis ducked lmao

@Coldass Hhhhhh davis ducked comey? Comey was not undeafted when he fought lopez and comey is not well rounded fighter a c+ fighter tank is the most complete fighter in boxing today speed timing power defense footwork he can do it all Lopez is good but he is not one punch lights out but tank is u cannot dispute that.

@@Righthook.. lmao the most complete fighter today is Artur beterbiev, tanks resume is dookie water you cannot dispute that lol teofimo is p4p top 5 and tank has never fought a p4p elite fighter and yet teo has fought 2 undefeated p4p champs in loma and tayler what has tank done his best win was an old washed gamboa

Golovkin should easily be in A tier 100%

terrible list

He was a bull

He’s one of these analytic guys they don’t know anything about boxing or any other sport for that matters.

He’s one of these analytic guys they don’t know anything about boxing or any other sport for that matters.

in the stone age he also lost to journeymen

Don’t forget sanders

Editing is unreal!

Gay

Also I think he should've put Ibeabuchi too, that guy was a beast during his prime

Manny would be S tier on speed and volume but certainly not on power. Yes Manny is amazing and one of the best ever, just not the one-punch man everyone on the first 2 tiers here were!.

@@ironwill8354 blasphemy! Have u seen his fights when he was still young?? Who other boxers that are once flyweight that KOs welterweights??

Manny was weak

this is a great take. foreman was just a very strong man, who happened to learn to box

An off balanced arm punch from Big George would drop people as fast as some of the most technically perfect fully loaded over hands of other heavyweights.

Earnie Shavers is more strong

Shavers had more snap in his punch but foreman rattled your skeleton with a jab

@@Heaveaway23 Muhammad Ali ja disse que Earnie Shavers é mais forte, e Ron Lyle e todos os outros que enfrentaram os dois dizem que Earnie shavers bate mais forte mas também é mais forte fisicamente

forgot about Hurricane Carter

Yeah. Baer should probably be in the list. Not the best technical boxer but had tremendous power.

@@TastelessSoftware I mean compared to some of the others on this list he was a technical marvel

Agreed

This guy is a casual boxing fan as well. Delve deeper bro.

EXACTLY!!!

He's S-... And the only Asian on the list ..

Exactly 💯 bro

I think that has more to do with iq. usyk also wears down his opponents but his power like usaid isnt the best

@@SoulAlmighty1660 Usyk's bunches seem to have a lot less effect than Hagler's. Hagler hurt Hearns every time he hit him. Usyk has never devastated anybody like that.

RJJ as great as he is, was not a heavy hitter. He only got the KO in half fights.

Max Baer was a lethal puncher. Literally. He once killed a man in the ring.

@FloresRain I wouldn't say Bivol really has that much of a variety of a punching arsenal in general. He is a very basic boxer but has mastered those basics like very very few ever have. Everything else I might have to agree with. He always finds a way to finish a fight and though boxers do not fight as often as they used to these days that is still very impressive for a modern day boxer.

@gamersinger5118 I agree 👍 What I've noted is that Bivol has more than 4 different back step variations to his defensive foot work which works wonderfully for managing distance and delivering accurate one 1 and 2 combos.

@@FloresRain Basically he possesses a primary basic skillset but he has utility in how to use them in pretty much any situation. Thus why I consider it a mastery over the basics. Good insight on your part. Bivol is the only man who can beat Beterbiev at his best at htis point but will he? I really hope that fight happens sooner rather than later for both their sakes.

@gamersinger5118 good breakdown. I've been wanting Bivol vs Gvozdyck and Beterbiev for years. These are underrated super fights people are sleeping on. I also thought Kovalev and Ward were gonna fight these guys back then. Such a shame.

Beterbiev is a natural-born-killer in the ring with ferocious punching power in both hands!

100% Agreed!

facts

Tua never rised up to the occasion he had 1 shot and lost it. Sometimes in boxing that all you get. David Tua blew it.

Hearn’s most scariest knockout in my opinion has to be Pipino Cuevas

It seems even Stallone was on his victims list, during the Rocky III retakes 🙂

@@Falcone-en4wl They are both nice GUUYS!!!!

This guy glazed the shit outta Jackson

​​@@roxy9379 he only mythologizes boxers that will appeal to casuals. This is like 10 levels below Ring's actual list, which was very well considered.

@@alphonseelric5722 Bro gotta make up what he thinks

Absolutely but his power didn't compare to Rocky's. Nobody's did. Archie Moore said every one of his punches felt like a truck full of rocks and said he punched harder than any heavyweight who ever lived.

@@enigma9971 I didn't say he should be over Rocky. Just in the list.

I understand what you're saying but to play devil's advocate Wilder doesn't have a bevy of high quality opponents either but would you really argue that he isn't one of the hardest punchers of all time?

@charlieprince8671 I would argue that wilder and tank wouldn't have the ko percentage if they fought the same opposition and Anthony Joshua or lomachenko.

Earnie Shavers hit stronger than anyone

Had Sanders had proper management and promotion, he could have made a lot of waves. He had issues with defense and conditioning, which a top shelf trainer could have remidied.Shame he languished in South Africa.

it was cheated

​@@warrax111😂😂😂😂😂

@@thegodfather1924 yea, forman was druged. also, they made ropes more loose than normal. They prepared it for high humidity and heat, because they knew, Foreman didn't have best stamina. He was usually fatiqued after 4-5 rounds.

Marciano ko'd more than half his opponents in the first 3 rounds. Only 3 of his opponents were never ko'd by him at all, and they only fought him in the developmental period of his career before he learned how to make his left as deadly as his right. Those who lasted a while with him were usually defensive masters. But there were also a lot of fights he overtrained for, which made him slow and stiff in the opening rounds. He also fought with a bad back, a bad right shoulder, bad right elbow and a bad knuckle on his right fist. He was on antibiotics, recovering from the flu, when he fought Lee Savold.

@@surrealistidealist Everything you say is true. The stats are all true....But the eyes test tell me different. There are 2 kinds of power in boxing. The one punch KO power, a la Hearns, J. Jackson, E. Shaves, etc....And then there's the heavy handed guys who break them down piece by piece, like Rocky. This is who Rocky is if you forget about the stats and just look at his fights....And to tell you the truth, if I was a boxer, I would much rather face a one punch KO guy rather than a guy like Rocky. You don't feel nothing from a one punch KO guy, maybe a little bit humiliated after the fight. But with a guy like Rocky?.....You are in HELL for how many rounds you manage to last. Everything hurts!!!!

JJW and Max Baer should have been here, but Larry just didn't hit that hard despite having a great jab.

29 fights 27 knockouts?

@@Supersupremegang vs who? The best name on his record came up two weight classes to fight him.

Wilder is probably the hardest puncher in the world (not counting people from MMA like Francis, robelis or lewis) who are debatably above him

Facts he cracked Ruddock with one right hand and he fell like a horse falls when it gets shot , Ruddock was washed but he toppled over crazy

@@DaDominicanDawg Yeah that was major power!!!

LL was just big. He’s a fraud who ducked Tyson and Holyfield in their primes.

He ducked Bowe until he was washed up too

@@magacop5180 WT#! Are you serious? You decide to take a side with Riddick Bowe over Lennox Lewis....when it freakin was Bowe who DUMPED the WBC world title belt in a trash can to get rid of facing Lennox Lewis - so he could fight a drug-struggling Michael Dokes who was shotgun shot from what he was and then a pointless unrated journeyman in Jess Fergusson. Bowe and his manager Newman gave Lewis BS worth of offers that Lewis's manager at the time declined but still accepted afterweards due to Lewis wanted to get at Bowe for all his trash & insults since the 1988 OG - woopsie-doo Bowe & newman then says "to late" we will go with another road. That followed with the WBC belt trashing. And then Lewis still wanted to fight Bowe in 1993 and 1994 but nothing came. In 1996 Lewis was gunning for Tyson as first priority since Tyson had taken his WBC title from McCall who had in his turn repeatedly turned down Lewis a rematch. Well Lewis got it in 1997 and blasted him to quit. Bowe was supposted to fight Lewis in 1996 and then 1997 but since he could not get past ANdrew Golota in 96, he wanted redemption and postponed there fight. Bowe again gets handled by Golota but again escapes with another "W" due to stupid son of a gun Golota can't fight by the rules. And what? Riddick Bowew retires in 1997? In his prime age years? At only 29. Bowe never wanted to face Lewis and never wanted to fight any threts. WHy do you think Holyfield and other HOF HW have critizised Bowe in recent years for walking away from what should have been his biggest rivalry fight of his entire career? Bowe was all talk and no walk. Lennox Lewis fought near EVREY man from there era and defeated them all with only Michael Moorer the other man he did not get (after he lost to McCall that unification went south). So please, Bowe was the only one ducking. Lewis would just like in the Olympics have defeated him. Bowe had to go wars with Holyfield and was even dropped while Lewis out-boxed him twice! Never lost control.

He ain’t at that level bro But he’s one of the best puncher from this generation

Subriel Matias is MISTER T's son 100%

Inoue case is much worse

For me, Hardest punchers = 1 punch KO power. For example, Vitali hit hard but it was cumulative. He did not just walk in an KO people like a Tyson would. Same with Wilder. I would put Tyson and Wilder in S for sure

@@maxpower2511 That's a reasonable way to put it, although I would like to point out that there are other factors to consider when determining the effectiveness of a single punch knockout. These factors include the handspeed and technique of the fighters, as well as their unpredictability. For example, a fighter like 80s Tyson was able to knock out opponents with just one-punch typically due to his superior handspeed, intimidation and precise punches, rather than simply relying on brute force. Similarly, Wilder has also been able to achieve one punch knockouts, but his lack of competition and questionable opponents raise doubts about the true power of his punches. Only three of his opponents, Luis Ortiz, Tyson Fury, and Joseph Parker, can be considered as legitimately good boxers, with all three having questionable pasts and vulnerabilities when facing Wilder. For instance, Ortiz was past his prime, Fury had recently returned from years of drug abuse and was severely overweight, and Parker had already suffered a KO loss to Joe Joyce and got dropped twice by Dillian Whyte. Despite this, Parker was able to handle Wilder easily. Furthermore, Wilder's lack of true finishes on fighters like Chris Arreola, who seemed unfazed by most of his heavy punches, also raises questions about the true power of his punches.

One punch KO power wins is easily S+ killers on the list!

Probably because he never considered himself a KO artist despite his percentage
