Adjustments, usually a decrease, in HP can be made for career stage and level of competition faced. Since Vitali is considered to be in his prime and has fought world class competition, the rating should remain a 12. Also, keep in mind that Mike Tyson hit Danny Williams with everything but the kitchen sink a couldn't put him on the canvas. Klitschko knocked Williams down 4 times. The guy can punch.

First off I do not think that is how TBCB hitting power is come to (that equation) and if so....then TBCB is riddled throughout with errors - Secondly, if that is the equation it is simply silly -
The notion of competition level plays a much larger factor in determining one's punching power (I can name you 50 Asian fighters who have tons of KO's....and a KO % right up in the 90 %.....yet their hitting power should be no more than a 4 at best) -
Lastly, Klitschko's competition has been anything BUT World Class for the majority of his KO's - And trying to say an over-the-hill Tyson didn't knock Williams out isn't saying anything -
Fact is I have watched Klitschko fight now for 3 years (and I have also watched 9 of his other fights on tape) - The guy has no where near a 12 HP....Not even close.
