Tyson : won 50 (KO 44)


Hamed : won 36 (KO 31)

Both fighters have been noted for being extraordinarily hard hitters. Tyson is regularly referred too as one, if not thee hardest hitting heavyweight of all time. Whilst Hamed has been referred to as being a freakishly devistating puncher considering his small stature.

So..

if they were the same weight, and there punching power grew or shrank respectively.. Both fighters have that 1 one punch knock out ability.

who would be the harder hitter?

Hamed. For the size of him his power was unbelievable. People expect heavyweights to pack a big punch. People don't expect small guys like Hamed to have a punch that can take you out like his did.

It's hard to try and guess but if pressed for an answer I'd say Hamed.
Although I don't think Hamed hits as hard as me pound for pound.:banana:

great question. Hamed just edges it for me due to the fact that Featherweights are not expected to have one punch KO power in both hands

Was it the mighty single shots that seperated Hamed from others in his division, due to his natural strength (which i believe Tysons was)...or was it down to his perculiar stance, angles..technique. Who can forget his leaping and unpredictable haymakers which he seemed to throw from impossible angles.

Or was his power an accumulation of both!?

I think both. If you ever saw him on a heavybag you would probably question how he didnt break his hands, he used to hit it so hard.

Im really not sure, Naseem was knocking people out who were basically the same weight as him were as tyson was knocking people out who were 25lbs heavier than him. Im not sure if thats an accurate way of judging it, but tyson was knocking out people much bigger than himself

Not to mention he could bench press like 200 pounds when he was 12.

I think alot of both of the power from both is generated from the overwhelming hand-speed. But I think, for Hamed anyway, his unorthodox angles were a huge asset.

When you're getting hit with fast, hard shots and don't know exactly where they are going to come from it puts you at a huge disadvantage.

well these 2 are my favourite fighters

Tyson knocked out bigger guys than himself, but Heavyweights are SUPPOSED to knock people out. The Prince had an extraordinarily high KO percentage for a featherweight.
