Rank the top 10 hardest punchers ever at HW

adamek 10 rounds mercy stoppage nothing devastating arreola 10 round corner mercy stoppage, kept hitting him and nothing happened sam peter 8 round corner mercy stoppag, kept hitting him and nothing happened corrie sanders 8 rounds still standing just exhausted this makes him one of the hardest punchers ever oh wait found it a 2 round ko over cruiserweight herbie hide. proof the man could punch. you also forgot his KO of danny "i do funny dances and get knocked out in all my fights" williams

Seriously....who did Vitali Klitschko knock out? adamek 10 rounds mercy stoppage nothing devastating arreola 10 round corner mercy stoppage, kept hitting him and nothing happened sam peter 8 round corner mercy stoppag, kept hitting him and nothing happened corrie sanders 8 rounds still standing just exhausted this makes him one of the hardest punchers ever oh wait found it a 2 round ko over cruiserweight herbie hide. proof the man could punch.

4 people have said vitali already... http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSixhBDqqdhTFDpQ6Fl9d3RDHRb3UNUheHjxxWNDPRV7XGVVq3f

Seriously....who did Vitali Klitschko knock out?

If all the top heavies in history were assigned to punch a target and measure one punch power in terms of lbs of pressure I can't imagine anyone would beat Wladimir in this catagory with the straight right hand. but before throwing that right hand he would hold, clinch, and healock the target into submission.

I dunno, a top 10 would need some thinking but the top 3 or 4 has got to be: Foreman Shavers Tyson Liston Dempsey may get a shout, Louis will be in the top 10, possibly Lennox and Vitali too. Marciano and Frazier most definitely. On second thoughts, I'll give it a quick go lol see what I come up with: 1. Foreman 2. Tyson 3. Shavers 4. Liston 5. Dempsey 6. Marciano 7. Louis 8. Lennox 9. Frazier 10. Vitali 7-10 can be interchangeable imo louis and vitali are interchangeable? louis left guys motionless on the canvas after 1 punch. vitali threw 100's of arm punches at his stamina deprived opponents until they collapsed from exhaustion.

Just a statement......... Nobody under 200 lbs ever hit harder than the 'Brockton Blockbuster'. Nobody. Jack Dempsey did.

you know some idiot is going to say vitali... It would be impossible to rank them properly but I know there are some names that belong in there without question. Those are, in no order: Dempsey Louis Marciano Foreman Tyson Morrision Lewis Vitali Wladimir Right on cue :lol1:

Just a statement......... Nobody under 200 lbs ever hit harder than the 'Brockton Blockbuster'. Nobody. David Tua at cruiserweight = nobody.

Lennox Lewis Wladimir Klitschko Tommy Morrison Mike Tyson David Tua Hasim Rahman Michael Grant Shannon Briggs George Foreman Chris Arreola Samuel Peter Corrie Sanders Donovan Ruddock Vitali Klitschko Riddick Bowe Deontay Wilder Bermane Stiverne Andrew Golota In no particular order... These are the hardest punchers this planet has ever produced of all time who were of any serious quality. There are likely many boxers who could have hit far harder but they were otherwise of too low a skill for it to make any real difference. For instance, WK's last opponent Leapai might have rivalled many on the list but his offensive skills sucked.

Marciano, wlad and vitali for me

1. shavers 2. foreman 3. liston 4. louis 5. tyson 6. w. klitschko 7. marciano 8. moore 9. lewis 10. cooney more or less.

Peter Mcneeley > The rest....

For me the best punchers ever are Mike Tyson and Joe Louis, their bombs were fast, sharp and devastating (f*ckers came in combination too!) George Forman just tips Earnie Shavers for blunt force heavy handed banging imo but they are the heaviest punchers for me. Cant be hooped doing a top ten, way to hard but I will say Ike Ibeabuchi has no place on the list - he seems to make the lists all the time here!

Here's my Top 10 in no particular order: 1. George Foreman 2. Mike Tyson 3. Lennox Lennox 4. Rock Marciano 5. Ernie Shavers 6. Ron Lyle 7. Sonny Liston 8. Gerry Cooney 9. Joe Louis 10. Jack Johnson

in order? that's awfully difficult. i don't even have the top three worked out in order, though i do have them ranked relatively easily above the rest. shavers foreman and tyson some other huge hitters in no order: liston tua louis lewis wladimir and here's a lesser tier of puncher who could still really bang with some of the best of them tommy morrison donovan ruddock ronnie lyle corrie sanders joe frazier rocky marciano max baer my pick for hardest puncher is probably george foreman. maybe tyson. shavers could possibly hit a heavybag harder than both, but i'm just not sure. the most dangerous HW i've ever seen was joe louis. second is probably mike tyson. they were polished offensive fighters with devastating power. shavers and foreman were relatively crude in comparison, especially shavers. foreman did some subtle things in his prime, and was quite crafty in his comeback years.
