    Lennox Lewis got knocked cold by Rahman and McCall, he fought Holyfield twice, he fought Tyson, he fought Morrison, Bruno, Tua, and Mercer. And despite all that he claims that Shannon Briggs had the biggest punching power and fastest hands of anyone he ever faced. Briggs only fought like 8 world level guys in his whole career and he was .500 in those fights, and Lewis knocked him out in the 5th round. But he left a lasting impression on Lewis.


    already established that boxers own opinions don't matter.

    the reason is there is always a narrative. they don't even disguise it. when you ask a fighter who hits him the hardest, they will always say it's the guy they beat. like Shavers is a great example. this lennox/shannon is another.

    this has to do with enhancing their own legacy. oh i beat the hardest puncher i faced.


    the fact is when they got ****** out, they most likely didn't even feel the punch. they were concussed. I promise you wilder didn't even feel the KO punch last night. he just fell asleep. numb.

      If you've koed or dropped fighters known for a heck of a chin then you can be deemed amongst conversation of hardest hitters.
      Zhang koed joyce, who had renowned chin. Zhang dropped flip and made flip space out too. He dropped Parker x2, whose got tough chin too.

        He's definitely got that Foreman style power. Just heavy all the time and doesn't even need to put a lot into his punches to be devastating.There is no way you can substantiate the claim that he is the biggest hitter of all time but for the current era he has a good claim.

        I hope the dumbass MMA Ngannou fanboys now realise that Francis is nowhere near the biggest puncher and boxers hit a lot harder than MMA fighters.

                It'd go down like AJ and Ngannou, except maybe a round or two later. Zhang is exceptionally good at timing and counterpunching. He'll send Ngannou to the abyss faster than he did Wilder.

                    I'm worried about Hrgovic brain long term, he took loads of big shots off Zhang and loads off Dubois last night and they are all flush.

                    Crazy chin but that's not good taking clean power shots like that man

                      Being a big puncher doesn't = being a great finisher
