Who are the biggest punchers of all time by weight class?

[Legendary]

HW: Ngannou
LHW: Rumble
MW: Hendo?
WW: Tough one, Lawler? Rumble still might have this record lol. EDIT: Hendricks
LW: Melvin has the record for the most punch KO's in the division I believe.
FW: Conor, Stephens
BW: Idk, not many 1 punch KO punchers in that division. Michael McDonald back in the day had stupid power.
FLW: Same as BW.

 

[FedorGOAT]

For featherweight I would suggest Conor & in Bantamweight it has to be either Cody no Dad or John Linekar.

 

[Davey Crockett]

WW - prime Big Rigg

 

[JOLLYjoe]

Great list!

People may say Lineker for BW

Oh yeah, that Konnor dude. Almost forgot about him.

 

[Ridgeback]

I guess this is for pure 1 punch KO power?

Open Weight - Tank Abbott

HW - Derrick Lewis... This is hard but I think he might hit even harder than Ngannou. I'd like to see the punch force of both guys measured on a bag like they had on UFC Tonight... Then maybe have them match peckers afterwards.

LHW - Chuck Liddell

MW - Hendo

WW - Gonna go with Lawler but it might be Woodley...

LW - This one is tough, kinda bottlenecked for me... Maybe Guillard.

FW - Stephens

BW - Dodson

Women - Nunes

 

[hbreakfriday]

WW - prime Big Rigg

No way Hendricks hit harder than Manhoef

Also, I'm going to throw out my unpopular opinion, which is that pre-USADA Mendes hit harder than Stephens.

[WarDosAnjos]

Conor mcgregor. Single greatest puncher ever any weight class. P4p NO ONE has ever hit like CONOR MCGREGOR. No one baby. He hits like a truck. He hits you, lights go out.

God Conor is just so amazing. Truly my idle. I mean he even hurt Mayweather the greatest boxer ever. No one else in the UFC could get close

 

[sampuncher]

HW - Ngannou or Shane Carwin
LHW - Rumble
MW - Probably Hendo but Leben did have some power back in the day aswell.
WW - Hendricks
LW - Tough one really, there's just a bunch of guys you know hit hard but there hasn't been anyone who KO's people left right and centre, Guillard, Gomi, Stephens at LW, Pearson all hit hard.
FW - Conor or Stephens
BW - Thomas Almeida?
FLW - Lineker

Not UFC but you can't talk about power without mentioning Manhoef

 

[Morris88]

WW - prime Big Rigg

Great shout. He absolutely flattened Martin Kampmann, that was an insane KO, pretty sure Kampmann retired after

 

[BJpencil]

WW - prime Big Rigg

Prime Big Rigg agreed as long as we call him Pre Usada Big Rigg. That version beat up GSP that night. Everybody knows it including GSP.

 

[sampuncher]

Great shout. He absolutely flattened Martin Kampmann, that was an insane KO, pretty sure Kampmann retired after

Don't forget the Fitch KO aswell. Held his own with Robbie in 2 close fights aswell.

 

[sampuncher]

You could also put Woodley in the WW discussion.

 

[sampuncher]

Not UFC but you can't talk about power without mentioning Manhoef

I had him until I realised we're in the UFC discussion. He's number 1 for sure for me.

 

[Egészségére!]

WW Semtex

 

[ripsta619]

Paul Daley had some nice power back in the day at WW. That Scott Smith KO was brutal and if Nick Diaz chin recovery wasn't so great he would have got KOed twice.

Edit: @Egészségére! Lol beat me to it by a minute. Yours has gifs though so much better.

 

[PEDS Help me Post]

I think Igor V is up there for a LHW and obv Rumble

 

[DLX]

BW: Michael McDonald, CoGar
FW: Stephens, Conor
LW: Conor, Alverez, Melvin
WW: Pre-USADA Hendricks, Woodley
MW: Drew McFederies, Melvin Manhoef, ViTRT

HW: nGannou, Carwin
