Rank the top 3 power punchers ever.

[fightiq]

In MMA, Andrei Arlovski is top 3.

Yeah, he's the only guy to finish both Nelson and Rothwell. Also, the only guy I've ever seen score a KO from a seated position.

 

[OneManOrgy]

I like your list, but Carwin #1 IMO.

Big Country's right hand was/is pretty epic.

If we forget about overall MMA skills and just focus on how hard they hit, I might put Manhoef in the top 3.

My favorite Big Country knockout

After punch bonus points

 

[Maaj19]

Arlovski, Manhoef and Hunt.

Rumble and Carwin are HM

 

[djacobox372]

1) Carwin
2) Chuck
3) Rumble

 

[IndyCovaHart]

Tank
Carwin
Houston we have lift-off.

 

[Drain Bamage]

Deontay Wilder
Earnie Shavers
Mike Tyson

 

[SammyPops]

Ngannou is number 1 and it's not even close.

+1, but wtf right, since this online karate forum has LWs on heaviest puncher threads

Hendo may be the only non-hw on this list

 

[Azure]

Yeah, Foreman and Joe Louis are right up there.

 

[Clippy]

Shane Carwin

 

[SaigeVanZant]

Cindy Dandruff
Mike Russo
Big Frank

 

[Kuggoz]

Fair point. I think if I swapped JDS for Rumble I'd stand by my list.

You seem quite biased about Ngannou. The guy isn't the most skilled or have the best technique, but he absolutely destroys everyone even with punches that look weak. Rumble went to many decisions and even on fight he dominated.

 

[Kyojiro Kagenuma]

In his prime Andrei was a fucking killer

In MMA, Andrei Arlovski is top 3.

 

[Kyojiro Kagenuma]

Fedor in his last years just takes 1 shot to put someone away.

But its obviously Ngannou

Ngannou
Hunt
Carwin
Fedor
Nelson

I'd put Arlovski over someone like Nelson, that's for sure.

 

[Max Power]

Brock, Conor, Ronda.

 

[Aluminati]

1. Manhoef
2. Ngannou
3. Carwin

 

[KID Yamamoto]

P4P conor had comical power at featherweight.
Prime gomi could crack too but he was like gatheje in the sense of he would load on every shot

 

[Titleboxe]

Short straight punches: Stipe
Uppercuts: Kharitonov
Right overhands: Roy Nelson
Everything Hurts: Ngannou

 

[Draxton]

Not putting rumble on this list is a travesty

Rumble couldn’t KO Arlovski at HW.....

 

[Zebra Cheeks]

Rumble couldn’t KO Arlovski at HW.....

Didn’t that fight happen in like 1996?

 

[Draxton]

Didn’t that fight happen in like 1996?

2013 and at that point 7 of Arlovski’s 9 losses were by KO or TKO.
