    what's that got to do with punching power?

    plus both of those guys were kids when they fought, Rahman is much bigger and stronger now

    plus, you musta missed the Rahman-Tua Rematch, where TUA got crushed for 10 out of 12 rounds

          Why do most of you think Tua hits harder than Tyson?

            John Ruiz....

            Tua didnt strick fear into his opponents and knocked their asses silly. Mikes opponents were scared and defeated before stepping into the ring, everytime someone stood up to him he lost.

            I have no clue who hits harder than who and I am not about to find out either but with Tyson's speed in his prime I would pick Tyson to be the heavy hitter out of the two.

              Tua's KOing people was deceptive in its own way, also....most of 'em were come from behind on the cards - when the other fighter goes into cruise control - KOs.

              Mike Tyson just tried to intimidate people.

                Tua has knocked out so many, I lost count.

                You crazy, Mike lost to the top names but he knocked out credible opponents.

                Berbick
                Holmes
                Tubbs
                SPINKS
                Bruno
                Ruddock
                Botha
                Golota

                Tua

                Ruiz
                Izon
                Rahman
                Moorer
                Oquendo


                Ouch I dont know, they are both pretty ****ty but Tua did knockout Ruiz.

With the exception of the obvious....like Pinklon Thomas etc....Tua's left hook is harder than Mike's IMO. Only because of the caliber of opponents he faced.

                  Wladimir Klitschko would be just as impressive against the same competition Tyson fought. That is for sure. He would have knocked Bonecrusher Smith OUT COLD.

                  We talking before or after the Sanders fight?

                  Id rate Davarryl below Smith.

                    Before Sanders I would favor Wlad almost over anyone, he would kill Smith with confidence.

                      If he fought the exact same fighters Mike did, in their careers....Wlad would be undefeated untill he faced Lewis. No doubt. He would have knocked Douglas, Holy, etc...smooth out.

                      That is just My opinion though. More than likely I could be wrong. I also could be wrong about Tua hitting harder than Tyson.
                      I just think his power is overrated. He was dangerous in other areas.....like instilling fear in his opponent. That is why Etienne did not rise from the canvas. He was scared of Mike.
