Evander Holyfield has fought some of the toughest men to ever step in the ring ... Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis, Rid**** Bowe -- so who punches the hardest??

Easy ... none of 'em.

The Real Deal was out in L.A. last night when he told us ... when it comes to punching power, there's one boxing legend whose fists are simply superior to everyone else.

For the record, Holyfield won the fight he's talking about but his opponent went on to make A LOT more money ... in the food industry.

I've seen heard him say that before, and it's no surprise. Virtually everyone that fought Foreman said he punched them harder than they'd ever been punched.

Of course..Foreman is one of the hardest punchers to ever fight

Nope. He's an unskilled cruiseweight bum. Holyfield is just a nostalgic worshipper of the good old days when he fought, back in 2008. Athletes have evolved so much since then.

Even more impressive that Foreman was able to carry that type of serious power when his better days were behind him.......can't help but imagine what he hit like in his prime!

The power is the last thing that goes.

This is one of the most pointless questions you can ever ask a boxer, because you'll never get the correct answer. This should only be asked to boxers who have never been KO'd. A boxer that has been KO'd/TKO'd is likely not going to be able to remember the feeling of a knockout punch being that they were hit so hard that they were seperated from their senses.

The correct answer is BOWE. He basically stopped Holyfield with one shot.

You would think the evidence would point to Bowe...

I have heard the most convincing testimony from that guy who claimed he fought all the great recent HW's.

He argues some hit harder like WK and Lennox, but he did say that Foreman was the fighter who'se punches contained the most force in the sense that they screwed with his equilibrium the most and put him off balance.

I'd agree from a spectator view.

I think Foreman was among the "strongest" punchers but not necessarily the one with the most pop.

That's why Foreman normally took multiple KD's to stop his opponents and they usually always got up.
