I am asking who was the strongest heavyweight puncher of all time, it isn't neither about boxing techniques nor strong chin. I can't add more than 10 to the poll so I put those. If you have another one comment.

Remove all 10 from the poll, and put Ernie Shavers in.

My thoughts exactly Shaveres is the hardest puncher ever.

out of that list i went for Foreman

foreman's jab could compete with the power of a hook

Damn straight Earnie should be in that :boxing:

I think Julian Jackson hit harder actually. Earnie is top 10 in the alltime puncher list

Jack Dempsey and Joe Louis sayd that the strongest puncher ever is George Foreman, and both lived enough to see Ernie. That's why I put some modern heavyweights, since we know who may be the strongest one before 1980. But you may disagree.

Foreman destroying Frazier and Norton in their primes made a pretty difinitive statement.

Of that list, he's hands down the strongest puncher.

George Foreman :boxing:

add wlad, and possebly also valuev - hes ben doing some impressive improvements latly.. :)

1. Shavers
2. Foreman

man, watching foreman lift frazier and norton off the ground and permanentale changing their brainwaves seems to me to be the hardest puncher. the styles and film clips of the earlier guys doesnt show enough to really compare.

Earnie Shavers. Ali said Shavers hit harder than Foreman, and Holmes said Shavers hit harder than Tyson, so... Foreman at second place though

I reckon Lennox Lewis... One punch knockout artist!

George Foreman :boxing:
whoelse? whoelse?

Wladimir Klitschko
I think Wlad has the hardest straight punch of all time!!!

i dont think i can beilve ali or holmes when they say shavers hits harder, shavers was never feared liek foreman was, i mean foreman was 40+ years old and holyfield was what 24 and holy wouldnt dare brawl with him and when he did he got hurt, i have to say george.

I agree with the guys above....Shavers should be at the top of that list, along with Foreman. You could probably flip a coin and have as good a chance of picking which one had more power as someone who studied both fighters for years. Both had more brutal, devastating, 1-punch KO power than any other fighter who ever walked the earth. The Blue Ribbon for the ability to inflict the worst blunt force trauma with a padded glove worn on the fist should be shared by these two fighters.

big geoge comes all time and marciano p4p hardest puncher.

ernie should ayleast be lited as number 2

foreman shavers and nonprime tyson..toss up

Ivan Drago from Rocky IV. Remember when they were measuring his punch power and he would register like 1000s of lbs of force in each punch?

big geoge comes all time and marciano p4p hardest puncher.

I agree, for 185 pounds Rocky is the strongest p4p. And it seems that Foreman is one of the first two in power.

regarding wlad klitchko's power, i'm not so sure he hits as hard as some people may think, ok he's very powerful, but ike ibeabuchi has been the only guy to really hurt chris byrd, wlad couldn't finish byrd, although he did beat him very convincingly and give him a beating

i can't beleive you put all those names together and forgot Shavers. Although i'd still take foreman.

If I had more options I would have put Ernie Shavers, Evander Holyfield, Joe Louis, Jack Dempsey, and some mentioned the two ucranian brothers. Any others?

Shavers no doubt.

Without a doubt.....George Foreman. Nobody even compares.

Ali and his sparring partner said it. The pro's know best. I'll give Foreman no.2

its gotta be between Shavers and Bruno

The Grillman fo sho!

:boxing: Iron Mike Tyson the youngest World Heavyweight champion :boxing:

You can't pick just one guy. There's been too many big punchers. I will say like 10 different guys!
