Hardest punch that didn't KO someone

[VoodooChild]

Hard to beat the punch that Shavers knocked Larry Holmes down with. How Larry got up from that is beyond me.

"Earnie hit me harder than any other fighter, including Mike Tyson. He hit me and I was face down on the canvas hearing saxophonist Jimmy Tillis." - Holmes

“If he hadn’t hit me quite so damn hard, he would have knocked me out for sure. That punch actually kind of woke me up when I hit the floor." - Holmes

I'd like to add Maidana vs Mayweather 2 when Maidana countered Floyd pull counter whit a picture perfect right straight or the right hand Mosley caught Mayweather with, both were clean hard full power shots. May has a hell of a chin on him.

Typical BS from Holmes.

(Throwing out examples that haven't been mentioned)

Kendall Holt's first knock down against Timothy Bradley, Jr.

Chris Eubank's uppercut against Michael Watson.

Shavers is a well spoken, likeable guy. In an interview while working as a "Greeter" at a night club, he was asked what that implies. He smiled and said

"If you make it through all the doorman, then I'm standing there to GREET you"

with a wink and a smile.

Ali saw it coming and rolled with that hook.

No he didn't... He got caught going back and thought he was past the punch when Frazier set him up for that punch. You don't go back when you are rolling you take an angle, move in a circle.

Thats why I think that was the "monster" punch personally.

The Earnie Shavers one, and Foreman vs Chugov,

It wasnt a monster punch, it was monstrous for Fraizier but feeble compared to the average foreman or shavers punch so its totally disregarded as a good answer
