      I will say Klistcko because his knockout percentage is almost 100%, 34KO's in 35 wins.

        klitchko knocks guys out because of the number of pucnches he throws, but he's not the hardest hitter with one punch, it's like danny williams said, he's consistant with his punches

          Bonecrusher Smith said that both Mike Weaver and Frank Bruno hit harder than Tyson in a recent interview in the Ring magazine. Freddie Roach says Wlad hits harder than Tyson. Peter McNeely said that Tyson had the quickest hands of anyone he had fought but wasn't the hardest puncher. Razor Ruddock said that Mike Weaver hit harder than Tyson. Larry Holmes said the same on his message board.

          Tyson was a hard puncher but he wasn't the hardest puncher. He probably hit about as hard as Samuel Peters. It's possible that he didnt even hit that hard. Why is this so difficult for you to accept? With handspeed like his he would have been putting guys into comas if he had Foreman's or Shavers's punch. He would have killed someone.

          Mike had incredibly fast hands, great reflexes, a solid chin, and good power. His weaknesses were less than great stamina, surprisingly (for his height) underdeveloped infighting skills, poor height and reach, and a lack of confidence in himself. That was prime Mike in a nutshell.

            Seriously, I consider Sanders one of the hardest (if not THE hardest) punchers. Why? Because speed=power, and he easily has the fastest hands in the division. He would've been an extreme threat to the division if he had the Eye when he was young. You saw what he did to Wlad.

            Everyone always asks where he gets the power from, I was curious about it myself so I did a little looking around and found out that he has been participating in Golf for a really long time. I put 2 and 2 together, the golf swing is alot like the axe swing, and chopping wood was how George had that sneaky quick right hand. That swinging motion over and over since he was a kid turned Sander's left hand into a phenominal tool, obliques and back muscles are finely tuned/coordinated to where when he throws that punch it's almost like he's driving a golf ball.

              You said wlad couldn't even knockout sanders it's because of Wlad's power???!!!What the **** are you talking about?
              Wlad didn't land a clear punch before the fight was over.

                  Wladimir Klichko punches harder than MT -- that's what both T. Brooks and F. Roach said.
