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.
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?
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
big geoge comes all time and marciano p4p hardest puncher.
ernie should ayleast be lited as number 2
I agree, for 185 pounds Rocky is the strongest p4p. And it seems that Foreman is one of the first two in power.
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.
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.
