Rampage has to be up there I say. Especially after he gets roided out for TNA.
So far you have contributed literally nothing to this thread SummerSteve.
Since you stated pound for pound, I think if you're gonna correct for weight, it would almost certainly be a banger from the lower weight classes.
I'm gonna say Conor McGregoor. 15 fights, 12 wins by knockout and 10 of them in the first round, and his striking is boxing based so most of those KO's are from punches. All of that at FW and LW. Granted it hasn't been against the greatest fighters in the world, but regardless, 12 knockouts from 15 fights at those weights is hard to fuck with.
Im still saying ellenberger. even over hendricks. johny hit condit clean and didnt phase him much. Ellenberger hit condit and dropped him. like no one else has. dude has major power. hes gonna KO rory mac
Good call on Shane Carwin. Not because he hits hard, but because his hands are so big they look like they literally weigh thirty pounds each
i'll have to google the guy with the most kos in his division
best (T)KO/Win Percentage

Mark Hunt
Chuck Liddell
Igor Vovchanchyn
Chris Leben

JDS said Carwin hist the hardest in that division. I have only been play punched my Shane and I was almost peeing blood.
Why no love for Big Country? He's is a modern day Tank Abbott, knocking fools out left and right!
UGCTT_Charles Bronsons Mustache -He's right, add in hunt's headbutt of melvin's cup as he went down also and you have that ko.orcus -
Hunt ran into Manhoef's fist, it had more to do with the momentum of a charging 290lb man. And Manhoef's usual KOs are huge hooks.
Yea...okay.
My thought wasn't a mma fighter. Felix Trinidad in his prime had some seriously heavy hands.
Hendo, Rampage, Maynard
Tank Abbott too but he wasn't the most effective w them.
LyotoBundy - I'm surprised that Vitor isn't mentioned more often in these debates.People forgot about his hands. Vitor is all about the feet now.
Hunt, Hendo, JDS, Roy, Hendrix, Ellenberger, Manhoef... Etc.
But then then again wasn't he always? ;)
GarlicSauce - Shane Carwin.
Manhoef, Hendricks, etc. these guys hit hard, but if you see their strikes, they put their full power into them. With Carwin, he hit 250 pounders with short punches and knocked them out cold.
To think that we'll never see that again:-(
Igor Vovchanchyn had some really heavy hands
BTT-RyannVonDoom -UGCTT_Charles Bronsons Mustache -He's right, add in hunt's headbutt of melvin's cup as he went down also and you have that ko.orcus -
Hunt ran into Manhoef's fist, it had more to do with the momentum of a charging 290lb man. And Manhoef's usual KOs are huge hooks.
Yea...okay.
On one week's notice, outweighed by 80 pounds, with a single punch, moving backward, Manhoef knocked Mark Hunt out.
But why don't you go ahead and only focus on why its not an insane power display.
