People don't tune into boxing matches to see jabs, clinching, rabid punches and the referee constantly breaking the fighters up.
Fans want to watch scintillating hooks, uppercuts that make spit come out of their opponents' mouths and snot coming out of their nose, shots that make blood splatter all over the ring, body shots that make fighters crumble to the canvas and, most importantly, the knockout.
Who is the pound-for-pound best puncher in boxing?
Our DAZN Boxing social media team posed the question and here is how the people responded.
Tank, Jermell, Prograis, Bertebiev

Gotta be Bivol. Never saw Canelo back up like that. Then Tank …. Wilder

Inoue without a doubt. I reckon he could floor middleweights. The man's a beast.
