Joe Louis hit harder than Tyson, Liston, Shavers all those big guys

[Left Hook Tua]

his punches was certainly more technical and accurate.

his right hand was a thing of beauty. not that his left hook was anything to snicker at.

i doubt he was more powerful than the other guys you mentioned though.

foreman and shavers punches might not be technically correct but they had a lot more power behind it.

[SkyKng]

the klits may not be the best technically but i bet they hit pretty hard

[The_Demon]

Yes Joe Louis was the greatest puncher of all time

[TheGreatA]

He was the greatest in delivery.

[BattlingNelson]

Louis (and Dempsey) was likely the greatest combination puncher in heavyweight history.

[IronDanHamza]

It's certainly up for debate.

[Rassclot]

but the guys Joe Louis was knocking out were 170-190 lbs.


Ezzard Charles styled on that ass btw. 175er.

No one under 190 lbs would've clowned on Tyson, even in his decline.

Primo Carnera, Buddy Baer and Abe Simon were 250+ lbs.

[AKATheMack]

Probably not though. Being a better puncher and being a harder puncher are completely different.

[Alx.]

he just hit better, as in more accurate and threw better combinations

harder than foreman or shavers? no
