Did you see Foreman-Frazier I? Foreman put Frazier down like he was a little kid.

No, Ring has Joe Louis as the 1# BEST puncher of all time, not the hardest. The list you are thinking of is Ring's 100 GREATEST punchers in the last century or so.The Ring has Joe Louis as the hardest puncher ever. Some people dispute that and say George Foreman is. I haven't heard many people say Lewis or Tyson. I can't imagine what would have happened if Foreman loaded up on his punches like Tyson did. When he knocked out Moorer, it looked like he didn't even throw that punch hard.
Their top 100 Hardest hitters in heavyweight history had Louis in the 10s-20s, Tyson in the 70s-80s, Foreman 6th(or less), Liston 5th(Or less), Shavers 1st. And people who have seen Frank Bruno, Max Baer, and Bernardo Mercado workout say that they are close to Shavers(But mainly Baer).
Tyson didn't hit that hard, it was the combinations, speed and timing that got the KOs.
Size really doesn't matter when it comes to taking a punch, it's just flat out mentality and genetics.Comment

But their have been guys that hit harder than him by the multiples, their are people that KILL people with one punch. Ask yourself this, how many times did you ever see Tyson KO a good decent fighter with one punch? Look at Tyson in training, he used a short 150lbs heavybag, now look at Foreman on a 100lbs bag and Frazier on a 150lbs bag, Shavers made a 150lbs bag explode on the discovery channel! Foreman punched a hole in a 150lbs bag. Liston Knocked the speedbag off its hinges regularly. Tyson...put small dents in his heavybag...tyson in 70's or 80's is an absolute joke . Bernado mercado close to shavers who did he ever knockout . Ring magazine are a bunch of boxing journalists who know nothing about boxing and who also hate tyson with a passion. .

Mercado being close to Shavers is from the word of other fighters, whether it is legit or not is...up for grabs.Comment
