          raw natural talent from spending night after night shadowboxing, yeah that guy really could've been a force...i bet he is feared in austrailia
          Not to nitpick but Sanders is african not australlian. I think he's from Pretoria, SouthAfrica. For Sure he's SouthAfrican (well not native of course)!

              It's said that muscles actually slow you down. So if a guy with muscle can't hit hard plus is slowed down, he's throwing patsy punches. You actually can punch faster with less muscle ripped physics as Sander's and you know the saying that Speed Kills. So Sanders is able to get a lot of power out of the speed he throws his punches. Especially in the heavyweight division, it's quite astonishing. The only problem I'd say about not having the muscle ripped physic is that he probably can't take body shots and maybe runs out of gas faster. Though this again proves what a great sport boxing is. It shows that power comes from within and not from how you look.

                Sanders is the most unskilled boxer I have ever seen in my life. He doesn't box, he just throws his hands around like its a street fight.

                  Tyson certainly doesn't hit as hard as Sanders. Tua and Ike might be about on par with him, and Vladimir is probably not quite as powerful. Foreman hit harder than anyone I can think of, except maybe Shavers.

                      The most astonishing thing about Sanders is that even when he weighed 225 or so pounds he still wasn't that lean. He probably weighs about 190-200 lbs of lean mass. His power and speed would be even better if he could work down to 215 or 220 again, but it's likely a metabolism issue.
