He's definitely in the conversation as well.Paul Daley gets my vote

Khaos Williams in overall a very raw fighter and with more technique I think his punching power improves. He's shown crazy power in all of his straight right punches, his left hook is extremely neglected though.He also loads up and wings his punches from his hips most of the time. The Alhassan KO was insane and a very short punch I'm aware but overall Khaos is a wild brawler with big power, its just easier and less impressive to generate power like that and it rarely converts to success when you fight decent opponents anyways unless you're a Heavyweight. Guys like Jack Della Maddalena and Geoff Neal impress me a lot more with the power they generate from tight, short, crisp technical punching. If they ran forward winging overhands and hooks, who knows maybe they'd hit that hard too? It reminds me of the earlier Foreman vs N'Gannou question someone had on here, Foreman was flooring people from in the pocket and with short arm punches, N'Gannou throws his punches from outerspace and often throws his whole body into them where he gets off balance. It's not the same so stuff like this is hard to measure.
Looking at the WW decision nobody stands out with there power, I'm sure alot hit hard but none have that pure dynamite powerHe's definitely in the conversation as well.
Yeah. WW has always been like that with a few outliers though.
Absolutely. They were just in a division full of wrestlers.Daley, Lima, Rumble, Ellenberger, Lawler were some of the hardest hitters in the history of the division I think.
Yeah I dunno why DRod is in the poll but not Li...
Li Jingliang
Jack Della Maddalena
Jeremiah Wells
Rinat Fakhretdinov
Michael Morales
Miguel Baeza
Niko Price
should be in the poll IMO. They hit harder than some - and a couple of them - most of the WWs in the poll.
Leech isn't on the list? Only man to ko Zeleski, 1 of 2 men to KO Salikhov in 200 + mma & kickboxing fights, 1 of 2 to ko Ponzi whom Neal didn't sleep or even drop.

Didn't Li Jingliang also score the highest out of a lot of fighters on the punching machine at UFC PI?
Colby is definitely still a top5 in the division thoughHard to gauge because the top guys in 170 rarely fight each other lol.
2019 to 2021 was pretty bad year for 170.
Luckily now in 2022, rank squatter Masvidal has lost his top 5 spot, so he will fight another top guys imo.
Hope we also see Colby lose his top 5 spot.
Both Nick Diaz & Masvidal took his best shots, only to be KO’d down the line Lawler & Kamaru.He's definitely in the conversation as well.
Man, I don't know if I should admire or pity you for sticking with Conor even in 2022.Conor now that he’s a WW
Its touching how some idiots really think Conor has lost majority of his fans.Man, I don't know if I should admire or pity you for sticking with Conor even in 2022.
Ill go with both, I "pit-ily" admire you, for being one of the few remaining Conor fans on this forum.
Conor now that he’s a WW
McGregor
Second probably Usman
I voted Conor because even though he's not built to take 170 punches, he's one of the more deceptively hard punchers out there.
He sent a bolt of electricity through DP, but got complacent and admired his work.
Got to love the window lickers who really think the person with zero punch Ko's at 170, is even remotely close to the hardest puncher at 170.
