Tyson hit twice as hard as that, easily. Tyson looked like he was killing people in the ring, theyd twitch.

Based on all aspects of punching, combos, accuracy, diversity, etc.. with power being only one factor...

And that's also why they have Hagler ranked over Mugabi despite the fact that Mugabi was clearly the harder punchers and they're both Middleweights

Fitzsimmons is ranked about Hearns because hes an overhyped turn of the century fighter. You cite Ring like its gospel...this is clearly about power and Fitzsimmons was rumored ot be a devastating puncher. His KO% at that time was very high and many to this day consider him one of the hardest punchers of all time. I dont agree and its just overrating one of those 1900 fighters...which happens all the time, but Ring does that a lot. this list is clearly about power. Why are you lying.

Originally posted by Die Antwoord View Posthuh? you dont even know what youre arguing. So you agree, Ali isnt one of the 100 greatest punchers p4p all time. And isnt as good as a puncher as Razor Ruddock p4p...wow Ali must have been terrible, Ring thinks Razor Ruddock was a better p4p puncher than Ali...taking into account all aspects of punching...
