    if danny williams said tyson hits harder, i believe the guy. he has no biases towards tyson, and in the second or third round i forget which one, williams was out on his feet but he held on to tyson. tyson had him where he wantedhim but then the leg.....

      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.

      I dont know if he would be able to beat Douglas, Douglas would have stood up to the world that night. I know it is a cliche now but Douglas boxed so beautifully...But then again comparing Tyson to Wladimir style wise is like apples and oranges. So it is hard to tell.

          I bet Wlad punches harder than Tua or Tyson.

            Vladimir Klitchko probably has the biggest one-punch KO power in the division today....Hate to tell you Vlad-haters that, but it's fact.

            Tyson has a good solid shot, but big single punches aren't his key to success. His key is that he's able to move inside in a flash, and unload a blinding combination of very hard shots from both hands, with lignthing speed, and wicked accuracy. He's better at that particular tactic than any other heavyweight ever to have walked the planet.

            And no, Mike doesn't hit harder than David Tua. They may be close, but Tua hits harder.

            Vitali Klitchko hits hard, but he doesn't really set down on his punches like many smaller heavyweights. He uses punch volume, rather than power. And because of his size, all his punches are fairly hard anyway, even arm punches, and they take a big toll really quick. He has a higher work rate and better accuracy than any big guy to come along in many years, and standing in front of him for 3 or 4 rounds is worse than standing in front of Tyson with your hands at your sides for 10 seconds. With Tyson, at least you're out and the fight is over...with Klitchko, you're just getting brutalized constantly until you're too badly swollen and bloody to continue.

                Are we still talking about Rahman? He sucker punched an overweight, unmotivated Lennox Lewis who could hardly breathe at the altitude.

                His last bout saw him take four rounds to TKO an opponent who Danny Williams had beat in less than a minute.

                    When he was around. He was the hardest puncher in the division IMO. Bigger puncher than Tyson because of his size. Maybe not the "1 punch" power that came from Tyson scaring his opponents silly. Lewis knocked some decent names out in the first round.

                    His overhand right was ridiculous to say the least.

                      As for Rahman and Meehan... Danny KOed him in 32 seconds.

                      Danny was sick and unfocussed against Sam (who wobbled him, didn't KO him - his corner threw in the towel and Danny sacked them)
                      sam had williams all over the ring, if that fight wasn't stopped danny could have been seriously hurt, a fight can never be stopped too early epecially when a fighter is taking a brutal beating like that
