Is Roy Nelson's overhand right the strongest punch in the UFC?

[Straightcross]

I really think it could kill an untrained person of average height and weight

7 (T)KO wins in the ufc by overhand right. That's amazing! Pretty sure he broke it more than once. That's hell of a weapon.

 

[KONE]

I'm pretty sure Overeem's strongest punch would take down a horse

and then he'd eat it

Mark Hunt & Rumble punch harder.

 

[Steve-French]

 

[Aranha21]

Possibly the current strongest. GOAT most powerful strike is either a Russow hammerfist or a Joe Daddy superman punch.

i think there are a lot of fighters that could kill a noob off the street with a punch. i mean christ, the h bomb, at middleweight?

 

[Loiosh]

To be fair, if Nelson landed that many unanswered overhand rights, there wouldn't be a skull left.

 

[Zorrox]

These may not be the actual the hardest punches ever, but it's always the first image that pops into my head when I think punching power.

 

[Woliwo]

Yeah it is.
It's a miracle that none of his victims was sent to coma.

 

[Anthony7]

JDS's is better.

 

[ShootOwl]

You guys are forgetting McGregor's straight left!

 

[Towney007]

Kind of hard to argue right now, I think. At least the most powerful punch, sure.

 

[sapporo ichiban]

You guys are forgetting McGregor's straight left!

Diaz thinks those are delicious.

Anthony Johnson is the hardest hitter in the UFC today

hardest punch is the body shot that ronda uses to drop heavyweight boxers

I don't think he punches harder at LHW than Roy Nelson does at HW. He certainly is a joy to watch though

Disagree my friend. Anthony is build for destruction. His speed plus power and explosiveness makes up for Roy's weight advantage behind his punches.

Roy is fat and less explosive. Just because he weighs more and has fat behind his weight doesn't mean he hits harder than Rumble

force = mass x velocity squared

I'm talking about a single punch here, I'm sure Anthony Johnson's combinations are more deadly

Some fighters can do that to people without having to throw a haymaker from the rafters. Ive seen hunt and kharitonov knock out iron jawed guys with less than half the power.
