Kosta or Gatti (who hits harder)

[Fallout]

Tszyu by a mile. Unless its a left hook to the body. Gatti seems to of stolen Mickey Wards powers in a boxing verison of Highlander.

KT.. no question..

[bonafuwa]

Kostya, no doubt. Ask Zab or Mitchell. Gatti is heavy handed no doubt, but when Tszyu hits people, it's like they don't know what happened to them.

kostya zoo hits much harder than gatti, but if they were to fight each other Gatti has an equal chance of winning...i have never seen gatti knock somebody out silly unlike kostya zoo made zab judah look like a clown, gatti will take kosta's punches better than zab did....it will be a close fight if it happens.

[MikeHunt]

Kostya hits much harder than Gatti. Kostya hits like a demon.

Hits like a demon? Whatever..........Kosta hits harder, but Gatti can obviously hold his own.

Vince Phillips was quoted saying that Kostya hits harder than Ike Quartey did. That equals to a lot harder than Gatti, who landed perfectly clean punches on Mickey Ward like 300 times per fight, without knocking him down more than once in 3 fights.
If Kostya were to hit Ward that cleanly, with full power, it would have been light's out, if not LIFE's out
If you watch Tzyu's fights, you'll see that he's not punching with more than half power most of the time to avoid punching himself out, something he learned from his only loss. (the Vince Phillips fight in 97')

I'm gonna assume that Vince was knocked so silly by Ike Quartey that he forgets how hard Ike hit him.

Ike's JAB was doing more damage to Vince than any of Kostya's power shots were doing.
Once Ike rolled out his own powershots, Vince was dusted in devastatingly quick fashion.

Tszyu is a great puncher.....the power & accuracy are no doubt there. But there's no way he, at 140, hits as hard as Ike was hitting at 147.

Zoo hits way harder than Gatti, and in a fight between the pair IMO KT would beat gatti inside 6 rounds.

I wouldn't know, he never hit me.
And I wouldn't know if he hits harder than Quartey either, I just read somewhere that Phillips was quoted saying that.

[jack_the_rippuh]

I don't know who I would consider the harder hitter.
Gatti can knock a ***** unconcious..
and Kostya only needs one punch..
I dunno..
