Who was the strongest heavyweight puncher of all time?

[rge]

ali did not try tyson
but holmes tried tyson and shavers and said shavers hit harder

Do you remeber if he said that after 1988 when he fought Tyson?

Does the logic goes like this

"if Louis and Dempsey say foreman; therefore it must be foreman, and if anyone is stronger it must be someone after foreman"?

if so why did you put in marciano, johnson and frazier?

if the logic is different then can you explain

I put them because sometimes there are people who choose for example Marciano. I put a few more because of that.

I do believe so, but to be sure
I googled around a bit and found out (but only quoted, no cmoplete interview), that holmes ranks 2 HW above tyson in terms of punching power: shavers and cooney.

and foreman says cooney was the one who hit him the hardest, but he did not fight shavers, tyson or himself

some where behind Foreman

lennox lewis had one hell of a right hand, but i would say george foreman. No other man could blast an opponent like george foreman.

Haha, agreed.

Ernie Shavers

It is an OK list, but Ernie Shavers and Max Baer are definately big ommissions. And seriously, who at this point is going to vote in Samuel Peter as the hardest puncher in heavyweight history? I would say Foreman.

When Lewis loaded up with his right hand and landed it Flush. There is not a fighter in the world who could sustain that punch.

Against Tyon Razor Ruddock in the second fight got hit clean with alot of Tyson's punches and he was down 3 times in that fight. One of the times he went down, he went down smiling. The guy had a really good chin. When he fought Lewis though. Lewis landed a right hand on him that he loaded up with and it landed clean. Ruddock went down and he stayed down from that punch. I was thinking to myself (well he sure aint smiling now.)

But Tyson was the most explosive power puncher ever.
