[luistwentyone]

Iron Mike Tyson is the hardest puncher of all time all you who disagree are Egyptian (in denial)

Hardest punchers that come to mind at first.

Shavers
Foreman
Morrison
Ruddock
Bruno
Liston
Marciano
Frazier
Lewis
Louis
Tyson
Tua
Ike

In no order.

Foreman was a monster puncher, no doubt; but I feel he falls behand "The Acorn".


Shavers
Baer
Foreman
Liston
Morrison....yeah, he was limited; but the boy could really swat.
Cooney
Marciano
Louis
Tyson
Jeffries

Baer should not be on that list . I mean wow he killed 2 men in the ring he must be the hardest hitter of all time . In those days they didnt have the medical tests that they do now .Fighters could go in to the ring with medical conditions and marciano only ever knocked out light heavyweights.

Lol, please bro. You judge too much on the opponents they fought. And i dont think Byrd liked that left uppercut all that much..

Just because you never saw him fight, doesn't mean he couldn't punch....and Marciano knocked out heavyweights as well.

[catskills23]

they were measured but in a different way so its hard to compre them

well if they were measured what were the results?.

[catskills23]

Bruno isn't 2200 i thought that was Tyson's PSI but i'm double checking that source so don't quote me.
the fact is if Bruno is the only man at that time to be tested with the machine then what bases do you have to say he was a good puncher. Granted that he did rock tyson in the first round but that may just be a good shot not so much of a hard shot.

Bruno maybe among the harder hitters in Heavyweight History but he doesn't rank with Foreman,Tyson etc
Bruno= top20 or top15

dude where are you get the sources for tyson and brunos punching power?

[catskills23]

by the way here are some test results



rocky marciano 1100 PSI

Joe Louis 1200 PSI

earnie shavers - i heard 1600 PSI but thats not gauranteed


THIS MEANS FORCE WITH 1 PUNCH



* u notice marcianos PSI. well one of the hardest punchers today 6'6 250lb wlad klitschko PSI is 1100. SO DON'T GO SAYING MARCIANO DOESNT HAVE THE POWER TO FLATTEN BIG MEN WHEN WITH ONE PUNCH HE HAS JUST AS MUCH FORCE AS A 6'6 250LB HUGE PUNCHER WLAD KLTISCHKO.

dude where are you getting theses sources for the punching power of marcciano,louis and wald . Out of all those guys i think marcianos punch was tested at it wasent in psi it was 1000 foot pounds what ever the **** that is and according to your measurements louis hit harder than marciano but common opponents of marciano and lewid have all said that marciano hit harder . Are these actual results or are you just guessing ?.

[hemichromis]

neither cooney tyson nor baer shoiuld be in the top 5 heavyweight punches

the first IS Shavers he hit harder than anyone of this i am certain his only problem was that he had a hard time finding the target
second must be foreman his punches were ugly but damn effective

after these two there are so many that could bein the top ten such as lyle baer tyson frasier and many more

but the answer to the thread is SHAVERS
