Guys like Sonny Liston, Gerald McClellan, David Tua, Jack Dempsey, Joe Louis, many more, and a lot of guys at lighter weights too. Im not saying they were all better punchers than him, but there were a good few with more force behind their digs.
Tyson's punches were FAST. Mixed with power. Thats why he could punch so hard. Watch some older fights of him and you'll see that when he doesn't hit them perfectly, he still KTFO them out. Look at the Berbick punch. Did that look so hard to make him fall down 3 times? Tua and Liston were slower with their punches, Louis and Dempsey were lighter.
Your right, he made up for any lack of power (i.e less than Foreman's power)with his speed. But my point is he wasn't a one punch knockout artist like Julian Jackson, as in, there wasn't as much p4p force behind his hits.
i dont see herbie hide(young) on any of those lists.
herbie hide v conroy ????- he was really tall and quite big! american i think, herbie ****** him out cold for about 10-15 minutes after the fight!.
