The Hardest Puncher in Boxing History ?

[juggernaut666]

Tyson had good power but it was his speed which got you. He didn't exactly carry his power all the way through to the later rounds like others mentioned on this list

Speed generates power.Tyson had technique and accuracy as well...he hit harder than foreman and had more one punch k.o ability.Wlad and Tyson statistically have better power considering they have more k.os in the early rounds over higher quality opponents and are always a threat in any round,foreman barley k.od anyone past mid rounds....looking at the actual fights I would say it would either be Wlad Klitcko or Tyson.the few who have trained with both have said Wlad hits harder.

Lewis?? you are some nuthugger ... Lewis had a good right hand but to claim he was the hardest puncher ever.. is gobbling him off at every opportunity.

Does your band know any other songs? All we keep hearing from you is Lennox Lewis, over and over.

He clearly is in that discussion but your irrational hatred of the man that borders on insanity prevents you from acknowledging it.

Would you EVER pass up a chance to take a shot at Lennox Lewis, a fighter you claim to have no grudge against? Not likely. It's becoming pathetic.

Lewis's right hand is extremely powerful enough to make a case for it.I think Wlad hits harder but Lewis's right hand certainly more powerful than foreman clubbing one..k.o percentages only mean that,more knockouts..lewis was a thinking mans boxer he hits harder than shavers or liston by far.

Speed is only a linear factor in generating power, just like mass. I can flick someone faster than I can hit them with a power punch. F=MA, force equals mass times acceleration. Of the two factors, speed remains more constant. The mass (how much leverage the boxer can get into his blow) varies through much more of its range than the acceleration does, since many punches are arm punches. Representing the mass more effectively is what a fighter needs to work on to generate power. Tyson represented his mass in the equation much better than Foreman did.
