So, what is the minimum lower weight class fighter does it take to 1 Punch KO an average chinned HW

[Combat Wombatt]

Most HWs can KO each other with one punch with the simple fact that they are huge and throwing huge power behind their punches even if they aren't a known striker. That is why it's more impressive to have an undefeated fight streak at HW than it is at lower weight classes where fighters don't have that 1 punch KO power. At HW even a fighter who isn't a great striker can land that one big punch that puts their opponent to sleep.

Many LHW fighters can obviously KO most HWs, someone like Rumble Johnson who could fight at LHW or HW if he chose. However, some of the lower weight classes couldn't even with their most powerful striker. Power punchers like Robbie Lawler and Romero used straight power and less accuracy for their KO punches. Conor may have great accuracy as does Anderson and both used accuracy more than power to create their 1 punch KO's but I doubt either could 1 punch KO Mark Hunt. Demetrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson has two 1 punch KO victories but he's not putting any HW out, even someone like a now glass-chinned Overeem.


So, what is the minimum lower weight class fighter does it take to 1 Punch KO an average chinned HW and an iron chinned one like Hunt?

 

[Pequeño Corey]

Mighty mouse could one punch ko anyone if they stuck their chin out and let him crack it.

 

[faustian]

Well since you brought up Hunt he was ko'd by MW Manhoef. But Manhoef is basically an outlier here

 

[wilKO]

I'd say MW and up. Guys below MW on the whole look smaller (no shit) in the 5 foot range. MW and up guys look like men. With hard muscles and nice legs.

 

[Eli1015]

145 and up can KO you if you just let them. I'm about 185 and probably could get KOed by mighty mouse with one shot if he hits me perfectly .so HWs could get KOed by 145 guys

 

[mungos]

185lb

 

[CBohl]

Hendo can KO anyone.


H Bombs all day.

 

[CBohl]

It depends...

Mike Perry could probably KO No chin Reem

I'v done it and i never get heavier than 168lbs. But im abnormally strong not just for my size either. I'v seen a buddy of mine who's shorter than me maybe 5'3 but weighs as much as me KO a guy we knew who was an all district player in HS football and state alternate as a linebacker so he wasn't a huge huge guy but maybe 6 foot or a bit taller and 230lbs or so of course these dudes werent professional fighters so that does make a difference, not even guys the same size can seem to KO Hunt lol guy was is a monster. Roger Huerta beat the shit outa that football dude in austin and Huerta isnt a big dude himself although hes still probably bigger than i am.

exactly. some fuckers just hit hard while others just cant take as good of a punch.

 

[Combat Wombatt]

That little midget couldn’t KO my little sister if she gave him ten punches.

lol

 

[Mondo Freaks]

Melvin Guillard can KO most HWs

 

[15089371]

I think Jeremy Stephens could do it to Overeem or Bigfoot

this guy thinks all of this is one sentence. good lord mma fans were never known for their grammar or brain thinkin skills but come on son

In their primes or now with their glass chins?

Have you heard about Rumble vs Arlovski?

-----------------

Replying to the original question, few people below HW can ko a HW. Hendo and Manhoef are true freak of nature. I don't think Bisping, Rocksalt, "still my boy", etc., can one-punch ko a random HW. Not to mention Nelson, who cannot be koed even by HWs not named Mark Hunt (Arlovskj TKOed him, not KOed).

 

[ithinktheymad]

If you let any grown man 170 lbs say 5'8 and above clip you you're probably going to bed.

 

[cmw43]

Explosive Lightweights can.

Roger Heurta KO'd some 250lb football player in a street fight.

Crazy Horse KO'd a probably 220lb Wand supposedly.

Manoef weighed in at 185lbs against some big HW's like Slowinski and knocked them dead.
