What would you rate Evander Holyfield's punching power on a scale of 1-10?

7-ish. ....

At cruiser a 9-10 at the heavy division a 7-8. He was more about combination work and attrition than one shot power. He had very good technique and good accuracy too along with a high punch rate. Ray

I would rate his post Riddick Bowe III punching power a seven since he was a undersized blown up Heavyweight who were challenging naturally larger and stronger opponents than himself.

He was a good puncher in his prime but not as hard a puncher as the huge punchers like Tyson, Foreman and Liston. I'd give him a 7.

In his prime With or without steroids

Evander Holyfield=4 Evan Fields =11 This guy wins the internet.

About a 6-7 at the elite level. Against lesser foes, 7-9. And by way, one of my favorite fighters of all time. He was so fun to wtach, and brought it every single time. A way past his prime Wander was able to give Lennox all he could handle, and then some, and even won the 2nd fight. True ATG.

Sitting back:trink26:

I'd call it a 7. A true warrior

Seven,a good solid puncher who had trouble k.oing the bigger 225 plus guys,but the higher one goes statistically they get less knock outs. bowe/Tyson and foreman were hard to hurt and he did,he also has a knock down on mercer but that was more or less Mercer taking a knee to avoid other shots. His lead headbutt did great damage vs. Tyson.

Probably six, but he was a great boxer. Probably like Ali. Maybe hit a little harder thanali Ali power is underrated imo. I think he just didn't put mustard on it a lot. But Ali can hurt you.

Seven is about right. Holyfield was a grinder. Plus he threw great combinations and fought at a torrid pace. Was intelligent. Not the type to one-punch KO you early but the type to take you into deep waters and drown you.

Never a one punch guy but his shots had a lot of steam on them. I remember when Holyfield beat the living day lights out of Pinklon Thomas, every punch looked and sounded hurtful.

It was solid at heavyweight. I guess all that hgh and peds didn't help much. Evan fields.
