Tyson. He was the best at cutting off the ring and finding angles to throw his punches with great accuracy.

Natural Punching ability, Shavers.
Refined Technique and ability, Tyson.
Although Shavers, could have knocked out a baby elephant, even when tired, I say he is the best puncher.

Foreman was demolishing fools left and right, knocking mo's out, but he could get worn out, and the big beast would gas, but he was a very savvy fighter. He fought names like Ali, Moorer, Norton, Fraizer, Holyfield, Morrison.
Shavers on the other hand, had one plan, knock your head off. He fought Holmes, Norton, Ali, with one goal. Knock that foo's head off. He was dangerous in round 15 against anyone, he just wanted that one shot, and his ability to deliver that shot alone commanded alot of respect in the 70's.
I think on someone using their punching ability alone, Shavers used it the best to advance his career. Tyson wasn't properly tested, Foreman used his brain as well. Shavers? Punch that fool. Scary thing is that it worked.

Jimmy Ellis! Its something Jerry Quarry couldn't do.
Jimmy Young! Ken Norton, George Foreman couldn't KO him.
Joe Bugner. Granted, it was cuts but he was down earlier....
Plus Ali and Holmes both say he was the hardest puncher they ever met. Thats good enough for me.
That said, from the poll I went with Tyson's overall punching ability.
