[Elroy1]

Lennox Lewis
Wladimir Klitschko
Tommy Morrison
Mike Tyson
David Tua
Hasim Rahman
Michael Grant
Shannon Briggs
George Foreman
Chris Arreola
Samuel Peter
Corrie Sanders
Donovan Ruddock
Vitali Klitschko
Rid**** Bowe
Deontay Wilder
Bermane Stiverne
Andrew Golota

In no particular order...

These are the hardest punchers this planet has ever produced of all time who were of any serious quality.

There are likely many boxers who could have hit far harder but they were otherwise of too low a skill for it to make any real difference.

For instance, WK's last opponent Leapai might have rivalled many on the list but his offensive skills ******.

Just a statement.........

Nobody under 200 lbs ever hit harder than the 'Brockton Blockbuster'.

Nobody.

[Interloper]

Just a statement.........

Nobody under 200 lbs ever hit harder than the 'Brockton Blockbuster'.

Nobody.

David Tua at cruiserweight = nobody.

you know some idiot is going to say vitali...

It would be impossible to rank them properly but I know there are some names that belong in there without question.

Those are, in no order:

Dempsey
Louis
Marciano
Foreman
Tyson
Morrision
Lewis
Vitali
Wladimir

Right on cue

Nobody.

Jack Dempsey did.

I dunno, a top 10 would need some thinking but the top 3 or 4 has got to be:

Foreman
Shavers
Tyson
Liston

Dempsey may get a shout, Louis will be in the top 10, possibly Lennox and Vitali too. Marciano and Frazier most definitely.

On second thoughts, I'll give it a quick go lol see what I come up with:

1. Foreman
2. Tyson
3. Shavers
4. Liston
5. Dempsey
6. Marciano
7. Louis
8. Lennox
9. Frazier
10. Vitali

7-10 can be interchangeable imo

louis and vitali are interchangeable? louis left guys motionless on the canvas after 1 punch. vitali threw 100's of arm punches at his stamina deprived opponents until they collapsed from exhaustion.

[daggum]

If all the top heavies in history were assigned to punch a target and measure one punch power in terms of lbs of pressure I can't imagine anyone would beat Wladimir in this catagory with the straight right hand.

but before throwing that right hand he would hold, clinch, and healock the target into submission.

Seriously....who did Vitali Klitschko knock out?
