hardest heavyweight puncher

[K-DOGG]

it sounds like it was divine intervention that woke larry up . Holmes is full of **** he said that butterbean hit as hard as shavers . Mike tyson had more than good power . He had amazing power , According to bruno infact he had nuclear powered fists . Bruno once said that he would rather fight lennox lewis everyday of the week than have to go 3 rounds with mike that tells you everything you to need to know about tysons power. If holmes didnt think tyson hit hard then how come when he came back i the ninties he said i will fight guy out there except that tyson .I am not fighting that guy for any kind of money .
What dose it proff about tysons power that sims lasted 3 rounds longer with tyson than shavers . I mean alex stewart went 12 rounds with foreman but couldnt go one round with tyson. Dose that mean foreman couldnt punch no. it just means that tyson caught him with better shots just like shavers caught sims with better shots .

....answer: Accuracy and Precision....as I'd said.

Punching Power....real Punching Power....is something you either have or you don't. You're either born with it or you're not. Sure, you can work on your punching technique to maximize your power output; but look at Foreman. His technique has been sloppy as hell at times and yet he still knocks guys out with blows that appear to be glancing. It's just gentetic. Tyson had good power; but his hand speed and technique is what made him as effective as he was in his prime.

Larry Holmes, who fougth Shavers twice...nearly got decapitated in the second bout....said that Shavers hit MUCH harder than Tyson. He said Shavers hit him so hard that he actually woke him up; that if he hadn't hit him SO hard, he would have probably been knocked out. Said he hit him SO hard, that he saw a bright flash of light and immedicately was more awake though it took him a while to get his legs back.

Of Tyson, he said his strenght was his accuracy. That Mike didn't hit as hard as Shavers or some other guys Larry had fought; but he was far more accurate and precise with his punches than they were.

well michael spinks said that tyson hit harder than cooney despite what holmes said.

Listen, the hardest heavyweight puncher is George Foreman. Let's end this thread please. Everyone knows it's George, so this is pointless. Here's my list.

Foreman
Shavers
Liston
Lyle
Cooney
Tyson

There.

wrong spinks said tyson hit harder than cooney. Cooney is an overrated puncher he never knocked out noboby . Tyson should be fourth place on that list .

Maybe because of Tyson's technique. I'm talking about actual punching power. Now if you are talking about greatest punchers,

liston
tyson
louis
shavers
foreman
frazier
dempsey
cooney

Yeah but still, Tyson's power is way overrated...Ever see him hit the punching bag? George Foreman used the same sized punching bag, and broke them often! He still didnt hit as hard as Shavers, or Baer, or Cooney for that matter!
