Who was the strongest heavyweight puncher of all time?

[Rocky_Balboa]

Prime 24 year old George Foreman, if someone beats that power, we will be assure of it, trust me.

[scottie]

Joe Louis, not in the list though.

It was Earnie Shavers, Holmes said he hit harder than Tyson and Ali said he hit harder then Foreman

Pound for pund, i'd have to say iron mike, he was just devastating..

[sonofisis]

i would say foreman, but he was bigger than tyson..

[ricecrispi]

The heaviest hitters have to be Marciano and Foreman. Explosive, Shavers and tyson and lewis. Marciano and Forman, anything they threw hurt. Marciano hit so hard he used like a custom 300 pound heavy bag and the 200 pound one was like his speed bag!! Pure single knock power has to be Shavers, Tyson, and Lewis, ow yeah Baer. These four had the greatest single punch power but some of their other punches didn't have that zip.

marciano..... your kidding right. its either shavers, foreman or tyson and thats that

[Eken]

Tyson all the way!

I agree with you RE: Holmes is a moron.

And Tyson was nearly 10 years past his prime when he fought Holy, so the fact that he didn't knock him out is redundant. We have to talk about boxer's in their peak. i.e. Tyson 1986-1988. So, i would have to say Tyson or Foreman, and possibly Shavers. Lewis.......HELL NO!!!

i heard that Frank Bruno had a record breaking punch power but he just couldnt utilise it much. he beat every1 on that machine thing that u find in the arcades though.

I didn't know that. It's a shame that he was a "manufactured" fighter with no "real" substance
