Hardest Hitters Ever In Every Division?

Listen - I am a huge Carwin stan and it pains me to rank him #2, but I have to be objective. Carwin was able to gloriously crush cans but he wasnt able to rack up the sheer volume of devastation that Frank has.

Even as recently as a few months ago I'd still go Carwin #1 but the utter erasure of Bigi Boy leaves me no choice.

Ngannou only has 4 KOs in a row, and was beaten twice in a row (by decision) before that.

Carwin's 13 FIRST ROUND crumples in a row is unmatched. The clearest and easiest example of consistent power in the history of HW MMA.

LHW: Chael
MW: Khamzat
WW: Khamzat
LW: Artem
FW: Chase Hooper
BW: Your mom

Its important for people to differentiate between power and precision/accuracy/timing.
Yoel has power, more power than Adesanya. But Adesanya KO'd Whittaker, something Yoel was unable to do in in 10 rounds, because Adesanya had much better precision/accuarcy/timing. Similar case when both fought Costa.

Precision and accuracy are essentially the same thing, but I agree. Hardest hitters, in my opinion, pertains to their punching power. Otherwise Anderson Silva would be the top at LHW, MW, and WW.

Alright man - if you want to think that help yourself. Quality of competition matters.

Quality of competition doesn't take away from power. Ngannou is wind milling punches from the coast while Carwin barely rotated his hips to crumple folks.

His display of power is unmatched so far. Sorry, friend. Recency bias is real.

My heart wants to say Carwin but objectively Frank is the right answer. Carwin was a stronger guy and during the "let the bodies hit the floor" run he was on another level, but if you could time warp 2010 Carwin to fight 2020 Frank and they both started throwing bombs I feel like Shane would get slept.

The difference to me is that Shane got to show off his KO power because guys WOULD trade with him - no one is ever willing to actually trade with Frank and he still usually finds a way to detonate a bomb.

Objectively? How so?

Seems a bit weird at first glance, but TS might actually be right. There aren't that many one punch KO type punchers in the LW division's history. I'd probably put Gaethje ahead of Johnson here, although he's still more of a volume guy IMO.

Has everyone just forgotten Guillard's absurd power?
