Vitali K hits extremely hard, i'm sure, but at least in the fights that i've seen him in he doesn't seem to have the one-punch ko power that tyson does - he seems to just bludgeon his opponnents towards the tko rather than knocking them out with one ko shot.

Remember all those huge shots he nailed Corrie Sanders with? And he still couldn't knock him out. Of course a tko works just as well as a ko as far as winning a fight is concerned...

Sanders probably isn't a good example to use....Rahman bludgeoned him repeatedly with his big-ass right hand and couldn't KO him either. The guy probably has one of the toughest beards ever, as well as one of the biggest punches.

Klitchko does hit hard, but I agree that he's not the huge puncher the like of his brother, Sanders, Shavers, etc. He probably has the nastiest short left hook in the business, though. Did you catch that left he put Williams on the canvas with in the 3rd? It couldn't have traveled more than 6". That truly amazed me.

For those of you who say tyson isnt one of the hardest punchers ever and his power is overrated . How come the huge puncher gerry Cooney couldnt drop michael spinks and prime tyson dropped spinks twice in 90 seconds and was the first and only fighter ever to send michael spinks to the canvas .

Because sometimes one fighter just can't catch a guy in that sweet spot that puts them to sleep, and another boxer seems able to do it with a single punch. Tyson was much faster than Cooney, and unquestionably more accurate, and as I said before....he almost never threw a single punch. It was always a combination that starched his opponents, and every punch was perfectly aimed. He did have power, just nothing earth-shattering.

Dunno why you absolutely refuse to believe this, when everybody is basically telling you the same thing, but I'm not posting again in reference to this. Enjoy.

Tyson had power but it wasent earth shatering , thats why tyson broke andrew golatas vertebrae bones, frctured his eye sockets and cheek bones and he broke sammy scaffs nose with one punch and dam near whacked his nose off his face . As for knocking spinks with cominations , tyson dropped with a body shot and knocked later with a left hook to the head , did see spinks body shake everytime tyson hit him , spinks looked like he was getting a volt of an electronic shock every time tyson hit , even when hit spinks on his arms spinks felt it and was really if that isnt massive power I dont know what and lots of tysons opponents said that tysons power was inhuman . I read quote from tubbs saying that tyson hit like a jack hammer and was by far the hardest puncher he ever faced .
