Who the hell has Tyson knocked out recently to deserve mention on this list? No one. He couldn't even KO Williams with his best punches yet Vitali's own blows made William's knees buckle and they weren't even technically sound punches with bodyweight behind them. Has anyone seen the Tyson- Brian Nielson fight? Nielson just stood there absorbing Tysons best punches and ocassionally clinching and hitting back. If Tyson were truly the devastating puncher his nuthuggers say he is, he would have KO'ed Nielson. Instead it was a boring fight where Nielson's eye was eventually cut and he quit.

Tyson is overrated as a puncher. Yes, even in his prime. He hit hard, but not as hard as Frank Bruno,Lennox Lewis, Mike Weaver, Razor Ruddock, Tim Witherspoon etc. What set Tyson apart was his defense and his handspeed mixed with above average heavyweight power. Tyson landed all of his best shots with incredibly speed and accuracy. Watch some of Ali's earliest fights, when he was at his quickest, and you'll see him knock down and knock out quite a few guy with quick punches that came out of nowhere. Ali was not a big puncher, but he hit hard enough, coupled with his speed and accuracy, to rack up some KO's. Tyson is the same way, except he does hit significantly harder than Ali did. Still, he was never the very hardest puncher in the world at any time.

If Tyson really had the power of a George Foreman,Corrie Sanders, or Lennox Lewis, or even a Wladimir Kltichsko, he would have had many more one punch KO's. He would have also probably killed someone.

Wladimir Klitschko without a doubt,Roach said Wlad hits
harder than Tyson.

[PBDS]

Sam Peter
David Tua
Corrie Sanders

But to be fair, any guy over 200 pounds who hits you isnt going to feel pretty.

....Roach says Wlad punches harder that Aluminum Mike!!!!

[Enayze]

Mike Tyson without a doubt , danny williams said he punches much harder than vitali .

Dont hype up what Williams said. He claimed Mike punched a bit harder but Vitali was more consistent. No where did he claim Mike punched "much" harder. Mike also couldn't manage to knock down Williams even once, when Vitali did it 4 times.

[Enayze]

Wald still dosent hit harder than tyson .

According to Freddie Roach and a couple of other trainers who worked with both fighters, Wladimir does punch harder. And I would take proffesional trainers words over you'rs anyday.

david tua or one of the klits. even though i dont like the klits i admit they have a ton of power. rahman has good power to

[spinksjinx]

Tyson is a hard hitter no doubt about it, but the only guys he knocked out was the ones who was scared of him..

Fear defeated his opponents, they were already defeated before they went into the ring.
