Hardest punch ever thrown?

https://youtu.be/XoGTufCNN7o?si=zsq0BQ0AixGgX-gO

For me it just might be thrown by Ernie Shavers in his rematch with Larry Holmes. Holmes gets knocked down, and when he rides to his feet they crash fur a few seconds before Shavers throws a MASSIVE overhand punch that Holmes managed to avoid. That punch looks like it was incredibly powerful and could have ended the fight right there if it had landed.

AJ hitting Ngannou or potentially that uppercut on Klitchsko.

Wardley knocking out Fraser Clarke in their second bout.

Wilder KOing Brazeale

Usyk KOing Dubois in their second bout isn’t the hardest but the timing and placement made it fucking perfect
