Strongest Punch Ever Landed On A Human

[clemenza]

Oleg Maskev vs Hasim Rahman
David Izon vs Lou Savarese
Tommy Morrison vs Razor Ruddock.
Mercer vs Morrison was an accumulation of punches
But the left look when Tommy was out cold and the ropes holding him up was viscous

Foreman lifting Frazier in the air.

That was scary...

Witherspoon, on target and leaving Eklund stiffed with maybe a leg quiver.

If we're talking "Strongest Punch" it implies a heavyweight shot, and one that renders the opponent FLAT.

Though not remembered for his KO power, how about Patterson flattening Johansson? A devastating left hook and Ingo was unconscious.

Tyson and Foreman both had many vivid KO's too. Foreman on Frazier, very memorable even if Joe was lifted and didn't stay down. Foreman's slow motion bowling ball punch on Moorer had Michael out completely.

Would the "strongest punch" be a killer punch? I don't recall a one-punch killer KO, though. It seemed to be an accumulation thrown by Mancini, Pintor, Griffith, etc. that led to tragedy. Morrison was lucky to have survived Mercer.

In the lighter weights, the power punches that led to face first KO's on Duran and Manny were scary-memorable.

Tommy Morrison vs Razor Ruddock.

That was a crazy shot.

Do you have an actual candidate for this one? I do, but not a specific punch. Huh?? Let me explain.

It was one of those that Foreman hauled off and smashed to Clay's body in Zaire. I have never seen harder punches than those landed.

Whaddya got?

It is rumored Tyson generally took it easy on Givens, going open handed on her most of the time, by Zeus, so as not to injure his prize. You have got to respect a man who treats a woman with that kind of gentle care, no matter what else he may have done at some other point in a hectic life, I believe you lads will readily concede.

Hands down Marciano right smashing Walcott in the face thats a Cruiser shot that would ko 230+ fighters.

I would loved to see that punch landed on some other chins to see how they would fare. After such a session we would emerge with much more definite knowledge about the true force of that particular famous punch.
