References of the hardest hitter of all time?

[Verstyle]

Its mere fact that Cooney's, Foreman's, Marciano's, Ron Lyle's, and countless other fighters, expecially Earnie Shavers, had a punch that made Tyson's feel like heaven!

I have seen Mike land a clean shot right on a undefended chin and the guy still be throwing shots! That is not to say though that Tyson is not a devastating killer in the ring though!

and all the other guys to,cause if that wasnt the case then they would all be winning there matches by ko. so slow down on the over hypin there

di you see that fight! i was sure alis head was gonna be knocked right off its a shame shavers was average at everything except the cross!

i dont think tyson had the power of most of the others mentioned here but he could through combinations so quickly and the way he'd go after opponents as they were falling was just down right scary!!

u obviously havnt seen him ko ppl with 1 punch

It's Tommy Morrison You dont know who he is, He had one of the best left hooks ever.

Cooney-Norton, Lyle
Foreman-Norton, Frazier, Lyle...Lots of others
Shavers-Ellis, Norton, Not much more


The hardest hitter of all time is either Cooney or Shavers, their are no other's that deserve the title. I say it goes to Shavers. Morrison, Tyson, and even Foreman's don't match up to Shavers' or Cooney's punch. Holyfield says Foreman hit alot harder than Tyson...and he did, even at 45.

Yes I have seen Tyson KO people with one shot, and I have seen Morrison KO people with one shot, Ive seen many **** punchers KO people with one shot, it doesn't matter. Tyson KOed Frazier with one, and Holmes Put him away with one...Are you saying that Holmes almost hits as hard as Tyson? For Tyson it was alot of power with tons of skill and speed...for Shavers it was just a godlike amount of power...

So why do so many people mention Cooney? Because other fighters ''said so''?
