Hardest hitting HW EVER?

[Kilrain]

I'm positive there must have been a thread like this, but whatever, enough people repeat themselves in arguments about whether Calzaghe is the best British fighter ever or not, why Cal beat Hop, why Floyd would beat Cotto, why Haye has no right to challenge Wlad etc., repeating yourself is a common thing here so this should cause no difficulty!

Of all the Heavyweights I've seen I've never seen anyone hit like prime Mike Tyson, I gotta say. Shavers is not far behind, Foreman, Razor Ruddock (yeah, for raw power, absolutely up there in the mix), Tua (fat piece of crap now, but man he had one heck of a left hook). I'm sure I'm forgetting someone really key here too

shavers imo

Shavers, hands down. He hit much harder than Tyson did. He'd hit Mike so hard the tattoo would fall off his face.

George Foreman is the strongest man to ever step into a boxing ring and the most powerful puncher. Shavers is second on my list. Tyson probably had the most speed and snap on his punches, at least in the early rounds.

tyson, liston, foreman...in order

Big George. Didn't need anything even close to proper technique to **** you up. Guy's power was Biblical.

The old timers will tell you Max Baer, just watch him against Schmelling, brutal!

To be honest I cant think of anyone with a heavier right hand than Earnie Shavers, Holmes and Ali said he hit them the hardest.....and dont forget Holmes also took the best punches from a peak Tyson. Ali also took the best punches of Foreman and Liston so their verdicts should be respected.

Since the mid 80s theres no doubt Bowe, Lewis, either Klitchko or Ibeabuchi could really hit too!

[~Lucky13~]

foreman, shavers, tyson

Tyson, Foreman, or Razor Ruddock.
Who hits harder? I don't know. Who will do the most damage by connecting blow after blow till you stay down? Iron Mike Tyson.
