The hardest-hitting heavyweights in boxing history

Maybe Tommy the duke Morrison

i think ron lyle is worth a mention, he went blow for blow with a young (not so prime) foreman

Foreman or Shavers, Take your pick.

Tyson was an awesome puncher, but he wasn't nearly the strongest heavyweight ever. Bigger guys like Smith and Tucker were able to lean on him and make him go the distance. If they tried that against Foreman he would have broken them in half.

I understand what your saying Scott.
I was more implying weight room strength. And trust me, I know that a lot of those muscle bound freaks you see at 24 hour couldn't bust a g****. **** just look at Hearns. A lot of the hardest P4p hitters of all time were slim, wiry strong dudes. Not only was Big George strong, but he had long arms, and put a **** ton of leverage behind his shots.
Not stirring ****. Just how I see it. And I do think Big George was the hardest hitter at Heavy.

I wouldn't go that far.
But yeah, what made prime Mike so devasting was his great hand speed for a Heavy.
Physically, Tyson might have been the strongest ever to lace them up. No hyperbole either. The dude was freakishly strong..

oh please. thats why he was pushed around by holyfield. tyson wasnt that physically strong like a foreman or even lewis.he had great knockout power,,but it was more speed and timing then strength

Has to be george foreman, he is the only heavyweight in history that I know trains for this sport as if he is training for a strong man competition. Did any of you see videos/pictures of old george foreman pulling a pretty decent size truck on his back? He trained ridiculously hard strength wise.

I said PRIME Tyson, dude, so you can take your oh please, and stick it.
I said PHYSICAL STRENGTH. Not PUNCHING POWER. There is a difference.

I know you meant prime tyson. the last thing a fighter loses is strength.holyfield and lewis muscled him around like a toy. tyson was never that physically strong. lewis,,,foreman,,,and many others were much stronger than any version of tyson. if you cant see that youre blind

Tyson was never physically that strong?
Okay.
I'm not blind. I just see things differently then you do.
To say a 5'10 220 pound heavy weight wasn't physically strong...
I don't know what to tell you.
