Did hunt actually tag stipe tho? Haven’t watched the fight since it happened since it was boring afFor what it's worth, Stipe has said Ngannou was the hardest puncher he's faced, and he's faced Hunt too.
I can see that. My only argument would be that Reem gets KO'd by people like Francis and Chuck. Melvin got starched by Rodney Glunder
Stipe actually has that same Chuck Liddell type power -- not huge punches that can KO people while moving backwards.Wanderlei was more of a "quickness/explosiveness becomes power" type of deal.
Hendo threw bombs. Period.
Hunt, Ngannou and Lewis basically interchangeable...probably edge to Ngannou just from his Overeem ko
Liddell and Nelson certainly had considerable power but i didn't see them as humongous punchers
That's true. Rumble was a beast. But he didn't really have the motivation to reach the top, which is sad.How has nobody mentioned Rumble yet??

Stipe is great at using his opponent's momentum against themStipe actually has that same Chuck Liddell type power -- not huge punches that can KO people while moving backwards.
Love bodyshot ko's with the hands. Chad got Cody McKenzie that way.Joseph Benavidez. I haven't seen anyone else knock out an opponent with a blow to the torso.
Well had that been Ngannou he would have knocked him out, just like Hunt was able to ko Roy but I don't remember that punch even dazing him. I got Ngannou at number 1, especially the way he can generate so much power from awkward anglesIt could easily be Ngannou, but you should never based that on a KO win over Alistair Overeem. For example, I bet this punch was harder than Ngannou's on Overeem:
Lewis threw that haymaker from almost a perfect position, unlike Ngannou. My point is chins matter, a lot.
Greatest power irrespective of size, there is only one correct answer and that is Melvin Manhoef...
The guy currently fights at 170 pounds and KO'd a prime Mark Hunt. In fact he has 28 KO's in 30 wins.
If he had a better chin and sub defence he would be literally unstoppable.
Yeah that's a fucking missile
Overeem chin is pretty shot. Roy might literally have the best chin in mma history
It was still about 60 fights into his career...not even counting kickboxingHe never had a good chin, so I'm not sure "shot" is the way to describe it.
The chin factor is 100% reams is garbage while Nelson's was godlike but hes been cracked and its showing now.Maybe, I would still bet Lewis's punch had more power behind it when it landed, and it even landed from a terrible angle from Nelson's point of view. Nelson just has 100x better chin than Reem, it is known.
He gets my vote. Before his chin finally cracked at age 42 to Sergei Kharitonov, he went through this murders' row of some of the heaviest hitters in MMA history with only a single KO/TKO loss to prime Arlovski:Yeah that's a fucking missile
