Who had the heaviest hands in the last 20 years? And why?
Mike Tyson without a shadow of a doubt, in his prime he knocked out alot of contenders with ease. He had that finishers instinct also.
Foreman, the Moorer fight tells it all
Donde Esta Senor Sonny Liston??????
Ali said Sonny listen hit harder than Foreman and Foreman was a monster!!!!!!!!!
In the last 20 it's a Prime Mike Tyson...maybe Prime Lewis and Foreman next which is amazing...Foreman was a BEAST...I still wouldn't fight him!!!
Mike Tyson
Ike Ibeabuchi
David Tua
One punch power goes to Lewis in my book.
Foreman is way up there though.
For me it was between Tyson and Tua. Both could crack it real good. I went with Tyson. In his prime he was just so explosive.
Looks like Tyson is getting all the points, But you guys know I was the only one to pick the Duke, But I think Briggs is right up there as one of the hardest in history.Quote:

Take into account that Tyson (who got out of his prime in 1990) 10 years after he was out of his prime he couldn't KO anyone. Lewis never got 10 years out of his prime but I'm sure his power would stick too but not like Big George

The Heaviest handed Heavyweight (say that quickly three times ;)), is Frank Bruno, no one, not even George Foreman, had as heavier hands as him, in the last 20 years IMO.
Tyson, Lewis and I think Ruddock, are fighting it out for the most powerful punch, but that is different, as they got their power though timing and technique, whilst Bruno relied more on being heavy handed, and it showed, because his power never quite got him the success at the very top of the division. ;)
I agree that Lewis was the better "boxer" but the power punch of Foreman is HANDS DOWN the best in all of boxing ALL-TIME.Quote:

But being only what 5'10 or 5'11, he had the arm span of a guy who was 6'5 give or take. That played a huge role in why Mike did what he did.
frank bruno had a power punch
Id agree with you BritKid. The man was pure power, not much else, but he was power. And if ever a boxer couldve entered Mr Olympia it would of been Bruno.Quote:

I gotta go with Bowe and Mercer. They both decked Holyfield. Do you know how hard that was when he was in his prime? Even Foreman and Tyson couldn't do that.
Remember the uppercut Bowe landed on Evander? Boom!!
LOL chris byrd.... ok now that the laughter has subsided, no doubt tyson and klitschko
