<\/a>By Travis \u201cNovel\u201d Fleming (Who else would it be by?)<\/strong><\/p>\nBelow, I have compiled a list of the top twenty hardest punchers in boxing. The rankings are based on power relative to a fighters weight class, otherwise the entire list would be consisting of heavyweights. In order to qualify, fighters have to have fought within the last year, or at least have an upcoming fight lined up. Prospects considered need to be ranked at least top ten in their division. This is just one writers opinion, and as it is with all lists like this, many changes can be argued and there is no clear cut order.<\/p>\n
This list is just meant to be a representation of today’s top fighters that can change the course of a fight, or put an opponent’s lights out, with just one punch.<\/p>\n
