    The hardest-hitting heavyweights in boxing history

    ESPN just compiled a top-10 list of the hardest hitters in boxing history.
    Here is the list in order.

    1. Mike Tyson
    2. Sonny Liston
    3. Joe Louis
    4. George Foreman
    5. Rocky Marciano
    6. Earnie Shavers
    7. Jack Dempsey
    8. Joe Frazier
    9. Lennox Lewis
    10. Max Baer

    I'm pretty sure all these guys except Max Baer belongs on this list. He should've been replaced with David Tua or Wladimir/Vitali Klitchsko. But anyways, on the poll I replaced his name with other(post).

        Videos? A normal video camera wouldn't be able to capture in entirety everything that Tye Fields does. You need special equipment to even be able to catch one frame of Tye Fields. Footage of him is as illusive as a heterosexual **********.

            That list is a joke...Wladimir and Vitali Klitschko are definately in the Top 10 HW punchers of all time....ESPN is predjudiced against Eastern European Heavyweights.

                Wladimir Klitschko punches harder than some of those on the list.

                  The Klitschkos punch harder then
                  Liston
                  Louis
                  Marciano
                  Dempsey
                  Frazier
                  Lewis
                  So you should at least put them in the list, oh and put David Tua in there as well.

                    Probably because of him killing that one guy in the ring and another dying in his very next fight, something like that, plus 52 KOs in 68 wins over guys like Carnera, Schmelling, Galento, etc. But yeah, I wouldn't have him in the top 10. Joe Louis above Foreman and Lewis is a bit strange, as is Marciano above Shavers, Dempsey, Lewis and Frazier. Not too bad a list though, I've seen worse.
