P4P hardest punchers of all time....

You mean the one that fought Tony Tucker, right? Yawn, yup he was the best, lol.

Tony Tucker was undefeated kid, he was fighting to win and not to survive. Fought Tyson the best he could fight him, Tucker being undefeated meant allot in that fight because mentally Tucker never knew he could be beat so it gave him a plus on how he fought that night, that and the addition that he was fighting to keep his title and record clean as well as taking Tyson's titles. Up to that point Tucker could have fought any one in the history of boxing and given a great match, he was a great contender who scared the **** out of George Foreman. Remember that Tucker was old as well people.

It's hard to look past the picture when it expresses so many words that idiots like you tend to over look because they cannot understand or cope!

That was actually a good fight for Tyson. It was the Smith fight that made Tyson look bad. Every great fighter had their lame fights while in their prime, or what we perceive as lame (because they didn't perform up to what we thought they were capable of). But everyone already knows that. LOL

Also,(and I'm sure you might remember) Spinks gave up his share of the heavyweight title so he wouldn't have to defend against Tucker who was a mandatory challenger. Tucker had a damn good chin to take that incredible left hook from Tyson near the end of the 12th round.

Tucker broke his hand early in his fight with Tyson I do believe, thus negating one of his best weapons.

I think being kept out of the Olympics really set the precedent for his career. He was favored to win the gold after his win at the Pan American games. If he had gone on and won a gold, probably would have led to a totally different career.

All apples and oranges now, but I think that was the tipping point.

Earnie Shavers hardest puncher in history.

Earnie Shavers hardest puncher in history.

Didn't do him much good when Jerry Quarry KO'd him in the 1st round.

I've been doing some research on Terry McGovern, if he hasn't been mentioned in this thread he should be. The man is often described as a small, earlier version of Mike Tyson whom had dynamite in both hands.

Marvin Hagler, Manny Pacquiao, Sam Langford, Sandy Saddler, Thomas Hearns (at welterweight), Roberto Duran (at lightweight), Rocky Marciano and Henry Armstrong in no particular order.
