Who is the hardest hitter in combat sports at this moment?

[Spath]

I voted for Ngannou, because not only can he generate a terrible amount of force when throwing, but the guy is 265 pounds and ripped. Wilder is what, 220lbs? There’s a big difference in 40 pounds of weight (muscle, too) if you can put that body behind the punch.

I’d say Wilder obviously has the better right hand and boxing skills in general. That doesn’t exactly translate to having the more powerful punch

 

[BangBang]

Went for Wilder but I'd like to see anyone throw an uppercut as heavy as Lewis did against Blaydes.

 

[spinup]

Obviously wilder.

Christian MBilli, boxing 168lbs
22-0-0-20Ko's

KTFO a 2 times 175lbs titles challenger
Najib Mohammedi (44-8-0)

Nice to see people get on the Mbilli hypetrain. He is a monster.
But not the hardest hitter, not even close.

Wilder os the hardest hitter ever. Any sport. Thunderpunch

 

[Brazilian007]

Ngannou he proved it already on the machine. He is heavier than Wylder by a lot so yeah Ngannou

Hardest kicker is Jamal Ben Saddik he is what 280lbs and 6"9. Edit he recently weighed in at 263lbs

He gets out techniqued but not out powered

People who dont get this need to go to Khan or YT and take high school physics

Deontay Wilder….. and it isn’t even close. The level in powerful punching by a boxing HW great is miles ahead of any fighter from any other combat sport.

Only if you're talking punching. Most amateur kickboxers can kick harder than pro boxers can punch. Boxers are the hardest punchers, but nowhere near the hardest strikers. Not even top 1000.

 

[JonJonesNeedle]

Easily Conor McGregor. People run away or shoot for a takedown because they are so scared of Conor's power. Even GOAT fighters like Floyd and Khabib

 

[TerrorTimmy]

Well Gane fought both those guys and he thinks it's Tuivasa

He's probably in a good place to know, but Ngannou also wasn't fighting his normal fight that night.

"Hardest hitter" is so tough to determine because there's way too many variables. You have to have the skill to land that big shot, however you do it. You have to land it in the right place, or the effect may not be the same. The sport and the rules also come into play, because boxing gloves are so much larger than MMA gloves, and not all MMA gloves are the same.

That's why those machines that give arbitrary values are completely useless.

True this.
My list would include Julian Jackson and Ernie Shavers. Also, my all time favourite The Cobra Tommy Hearns.

A man of knowledge

 

[moosaev]

I’m not talking P4P hardest hitter, in that case Artur would be in the poll ofcourse.
Question is who legitimately is the hardest hitter in all of combat sports right now

As far as a one hitter quitter, it has to be Wilder. He has horrible technique but a well placed right hand from him has to be harder than Ngannou and the others

I hope you dont mean me. I am right Ngannou has recorded factually harder punching power than Wylder on the machines.

 

[Natural Order]

All of Wilder's leg muscle power was genetically added to his shoulders and arms. His legs look deformed they're so skinny.

His right cross is probably the hardest punch going right now.

Pretty much this.

"Wilder bro, he got lyk da crazy boxing power and technique maaaan"

He weighs 50lbs less than Ngannou and isn't that much quicker. I'm not saying it is a guarantee, but given Francis' build, speed and power at his size, it is safe to assume they are similar level athletes, all while Francis is that much bigger.

Being a boxer doesn't automatically mean you have a stronger punch like some of the moronic comments that get written on here spout on about. I'd confidently say there are baseball players with harder punches than some boxers given the torque and speed they have to generate whipping their arm through at a fast pace for pitching. Again, does it mean anything in a fight? Nope. Doesn't it mean they have a better chance of knocking someone out? Nope. Just means they can generate more force.

Anyway, given how athletic, mobile and quick Ngannou is at 270lbs... I would safely say that what the machines have told us, is in fact true. And he is the hardest puncher in the world.

 

[SherdogsMVP]

This thread is completely lacking in the unquestionable #1 hardest hitter of all times.

A man who hits so hard he knocks out athletes from different sports.

None of the people in the options have KOd A-level athletes like basketball players, multiple world champions and even Cobra Kai sensei's

Jake Paul is unanimously #1 amongst real fight fans

 

[Dude Incredible]

read it as 'hardest hitler' left disappointed.

 

[slavomir]

in this order:

Deontay
Ngannou
Tuivasa
Black Beast

Do you even Glory?

 

[xentreos]

Wilder easily. He kills people with his power man dude is a menace. The boxing world is lucky he doesn't have a competent Jab and footwork.

If him and vladmir K were one fighter they'd be the best heavyweight in history by a mile.

 

[GolovKing]

Deontay Wilder….. and it isn’t even close. The level in powerful punching by a boxing HW great is miles ahead of any fighter from any other combat sport.

I feel like Francis throws harder than Wilder in all other punches besides the straight right. I can't remember Wilder ever hurting anyone with any other punch

 

[Yellowcrab]

If you mean punching and not kicking then it is easily Wilder.

If anyone can punch harder than Wilder and went into any combat sport other than boxing they are a complete moron.

Well you still need to land.
