Which Fighter Has The Most Overrated "Power" In Their Hands?

[Bend NvR Break]

Agree with McGregor. Between the Aldo fight and the exaggeration of his fans you would've thought McGregor was Rumble.

Shane Carwin is definitely one, he hit Brock 1000x and couldn’t finish him lol

TBF that fight probably should've been stopped. Turtling up and waiting for your opponent to gas isn't intelligent defense. Brock basically laid there and got punched 100 times and the ref didn't stop the fight.

connor was oversized for 145 only reason he had power there and not 155. REAL POWER carries over, like Anderson Silva, Dan Henderson...but most notably Anthony "Rumble" Johnson.. he had 1 shot KOs as WW, MW, LHW and HW..now thats power

He still dropped Nate, finished Alvarez, and hurt Poirier... what do you mean he was oversized though? He made the weight, Holloway is just as big and has 0 power at 145

Rumble and Henderson are big guys... please list off all the 155 and below guys with "REAL POWER"

How can you say it should've been stopped when Brock won?

Easily.

Brock won in the second round. That fight should've been stopped in the first round.

The fight never should've made it to the second. The ref let Brock turtle up and get hit for like 90 seconds. That's not intelligent defense. And we've seen stoppages like that before.

Probably Carwin. Of couse he was a monster sized guy that hit hard but people on here talked like he was the hardest puncher in combat sports history when there is really very little evidence of that. He only really straight up KO'd one or two guys in his whole career and they were cans (Christian Wellisch and Neil Slaton ?!?). His KO over Gonzaga was assisted by Gonzaga hitting his chin on his knee on the way down. He couldn't TKO Brock with repeated power ground punches and it took him like 20-25 unanswered blows to elicit a TKO on Frank Mir. Again, he was a huge guy who obviously hit hard but I never saw any evidence that he was this Foreman/Shavers type power puncher.

Ha ah….

To be honest Mir was traveling the Astral plain after 13 or 14

A++ for dropping the Earnie Shavers knowledge…. Earnie was a bad bad man, & fought many of the best of all time.

Thomas Hearns had leverage and power that translated into every weight class he chose to try….. He had the freak gift without being a heavyweight.

Darren Till. People used to think he's some kind of KO machine.

It's not like the ref broke them at the end of the round, Brock survived and was winning at the end of the 1st... I just rewatched it, no way that should've been stopped

this is about having 1 hit KO power 'Death touch" Not about tko or dropping or hurting anyone... about one hitter quitter which connor does not have... even at FW he has 5 out 20 KOs....is he a good/feared striker sure but again we aint talking about tkos... Connors first fight after aldo was at 170.....aldo could never fight at 170..thats oversized. just like rumble was oversized for WW. BUT the difference is he carried his power all the way from 170 to 230. Dan henderson was 185 and KO fedor at 230..... its straight up about Knocking people unconscious... Holloways style is volume over power...he could throw power if he wanted to anyone could, but not everyone has that "Death touch"

Rampage's power is pretty overrated.

Rampage's power is pretty overrated.

I don't know why this is making me laugh, but it is.

Without power, what good is rampage?

Not much.

 

[Moro]

Conor is p4p hardest puncher in combat sports and he doesnt even rely on it because his precision beats power.

 

[rzaraze]

Perry. At least when he first come to UFC.

Yeah but most of his career was at 145 and his power was insane… very few guys in lighter weight classes have power like him

Of course if he goes up a weight class it won’t be the same

He fought at his natural weight class and got exposed. If Colby dropped to 155 he could knock dudes out too. Volkanovski would stiff people at 135. But the thing is, these guys don't avoid fighting guys that aren't 4 inches shorter than them like Conor did during his run.
