We asked an expert panel – who is the hardest puncher in boxing?

Frank Warrenย (Promoter):

“Itโ€™s a toss-up between Sergey Kovalev and Gennady Golovkin, who are both concussive punchers. You get a lot of guys who start out and knock people over until they reach a certain level, but those two have been consistent at the top level.”

Clinton Woodsย (Ex-IBF light-heavy champ):

“There are a few big punchers out there, but Iโ€™m going to go with Sergey Kovalev. Iโ€™m glad Iโ€™m not around in the light-heavyweight division anymore, thatโ€™s all I can say!”

Martin Gethinย (Ex-British lightweight king):

“At this moment in time, Iโ€™d say Anthony Joshua. Itโ€™s not just his power, itโ€™s also the way he positions his body when heโ€™s throwing a punch. He lines his opponents up and takes them out.”

Tommy McCarthyย (Cruiserweight prospect):

“I think itโ€™s Deontay Wilder. Heโ€™s not the neatest boxer, but heโ€™s got a huge punch. He may be a bit rough around the edges, but I like him as a personality.”
