I still think marciano is the hardest hitter p4p, but I'll agree with Foreman being the hardest, but I think it depends on the range in which both fighters are punching, foreman through longer punches, where as marciano would use his short arms and punch real close, if you look at the walcott fight, the knockout punch only traveled about 6 inches...

George Foreman, in his prime had the highest knockout percentage in boxing history. After his destruction of Norton, he was 40-0 with 37 knockouts, for a knockout percentage of 92.50. In his career Foreman had 15 first round knockouts and 18 second round knockouts. That's 33 knockouts inside of the first 2 rounds! He had 46 knockouts that were 3 rounds or less, which is more than any other heavyweight champion. George Foreman’s incredible two round destruction over Joe Frazier was the most one-sided beating ever delivered upon an undefeated heavyweight champion.

Originally posted by Southpaw StingerThanks for posting it Pug, having problems viewing it but I've seen it before anyways. I actually think the footage of Foreman destroying a heavy bag is much more ferocious! If you think that Marciano looks impressive and hard punching on the bag, watch Foreman, he will literally blow you away!
which is freaking amazing

Foreman had 87% KO rate in his career
Marciano had an 88% KO rate which is why i always say that Foreman and Marciano are close in strength (this is only one of the reasons)

Originally posted by Heckleryeah but you have to make things relative to the opposition. Foreman knocked out Lyle and frazier... twice, and i think its quite clear that foreman is more powerful then marciano... ALOT more powerful, probably not.

** Don't be ridiculous. Foreman's last fight was a couple months before he turned 49. Rocky's last fight was a couple of weeks after he turned 32. Foreman outweighed Rocky 35-75 lbs. Foreman has more KOs that Rocky has bouts. The only reason Foreman could compile these kinds of numbers is because of his immense strength, probably the strongest man in boxing history.

Marciano broke bones and put people in comas. The great thing about Marciano is that he could punch his hardest the entire fight but Foreman would end up punching himself out. I don't know who hits harder. Foremans bigger but Marciano threw some perfect punches.
