Which Fighter Hit the Hardest?

[Silencers]

Most (including myself) would say his left hook was definitely his biggest punch.
That's what he took Tiger, Quarry, & Rondon out with.

Yeah, that man could hit. He is one of the best punchers in history with either hand.

Can't believe I forgot about that one! Quarry was a tough top fighter back then, overshadowed by his brother. But like Jerry, may very well have been champion in another era. devastating ko! Quarry looked dead.

That was devastatingly brutal, one of the most devastating left hook knockouts I've seen, Mike really looked lifeless when he went down.

Felt sorry for Jerry as well, he had to get into the ring almost immediately afterwards.

Wlad is the hardest puncher on that list

45 KO's in 51 wins....90% KO Ratio

but it also depends on caliber of opponet knocked not just knockout percentage.

Against Ali, no less. Talk about having your mind messed with. Knowing your brother was nearly decapitated than getting in the ring with maybe the greatest heavyweight of all time. I wouldn't have envied Jerry Quarry on that night.

I said Rosario, although it could also be Foster. that man could crack.

knockout percentages dont really mean anything.

Black....

Those who witnessed Rosario back in the 80's....know they were seeing one of the better punchers they've seen.
His KO of Viruet was devastating. The one over Bramble really was a frightening offensive display, against a fighter thought to be almost impossible to hurt.

the man in my SIG!!!

Agreed the Hawk by far. He literally ruined/retired fighters. Man the G man was screwed before his next fight.

p4p I picked Valero, his shots sound so brutal. I guess he's unproven though..so maybe its overrated.

the hardest puncher on the list is Lennox Lewis though, if p4p isn't considered.

EDIT: like the above said, Julian Jackson is a serious contender for the hardest p4p puncher to date, Mcclellan and Thomas Hearns are some other good contenders. Mike Tyson for being a smaller heavyweight that hit harder than fighters 2 times his size.
