Southpaw Stinger 07-25-2006, 11:17 AM Most Powerful Puncher of all time: Frank Bruno
He hit hard but putting him number one is overating it.
I'd pick Shavers, Foreman, Cooney, lyle and Liston to punch harder than Bruno.

I dunno about that. Just because those guys have more name recognition in punching power, doesnt mean Bruno wasnt in the same league though.
Southpaw Stinger 07-25-2006, 07:32 PM I dunno about that. Just because those guys have more name recognition in punching power, doesnt mean Bruno wasnt in the same league though.
Bruno is definatly top 10.

catskills23 07-28-2006, 02:51 PM most powerful puncher of all time = mike tyson
thats what many boxing experts believed in tysons prime . You have no evidence to refute my claim . There has never been any tests done on tyson punching power to prove or disprove my claim.
Southpaw Stinger 07-28-2006, 03:03 PM thats what many boxing experts believed in tysons prime
Yeah but when they looked over his whole career and compared it with others none still believed this hype building claim.
There has never been any tests done on tyson punching power to prove or disprove my claim.
No but watch his fights and compare them to Shavers, Foremans, Lyles, Liston and Cooneys best fights.
Shavers did more damage to guys with one punch than Tyson did with a combo.
Just because you want Tyson to be the hardest puncher doesn't make it so.
Using the Criteria outlined:
The fastest heavyweight of all time: overall...legs and hands: Muhammad Ali Agreed
Most Powerful Puncher of all time: Earnie Shavers or Foreman
Most Powerful overall of all time: either Foreman or Jeffries Agreed
Had the strongest chin of all time: Ali No way in hell, Joe Grim, Jake Lamotta, Rocky Marciano, George Chuvalo all had better chins than Ali.)
Had the Best endurance: Marciano [b]Undisputed
Had the best style: Joe Louis...he did everything right Thats why hes number 1
I put mine in bold.
