Biggest two-handed punchers of all time?
I know, I know. Another "who was the biggest puncher" thread. Booo.
Let me explain: I got into the old "biggest p4p punchers" discussions the other day, and I noticed that among a lot of th every popular options, a lot of these guys were more or less one-fist (or even one-punch) oriented guys.
For example, Tommy Hearn's right hand was one of the most brutal in boxing history, and while his left was no love tap, I don't remember him knocking out anyone with the left.
Bob Foster gets brought up a lot, and rightfully so, but when I think of Bob I think of his dynamite left hook.
When I think of the real bombers, I think of guys who could (and routinely did) blast guys out with both hands, and seemingly with any punch.
Guys like Julian Jackson, Tyson, Joe Louis, Earnie Shavers, Prince Naseem, ect come to mind as obvious choices, but who were the less-obvious two-handed bombers in boxing history?
Re: Biggest two-handed punchers of all time?
George Foreman is an obvious choice
Re: Biggest two-handed punchers of all time?
Gerald McClellan? He was a big puncher. Roy Jones Jr. hand power in both hands.

Good call on Roy, forgot he could bang back in the day when he wanted to.
Re: Biggest two-handed punchers of all time?
Trinidad was known for his huge left hook but he had a very good straight right hand that would land like a battering ram, Hagler an obvious choice, Julian Jackson, Arturo Gatti could bang with both hands, there are a bunch
Re: Biggest two-handed punchers of all time?
Don't forget "Hands of Stone". He wasn't called "Hand of Stone", and for a very good reason. ;D

Pacquiao has gotta be one of the greatest two fisted fighters i've ever seen... he's ko'ed or just plain BEAT fighters into submission...

apart from Hatton who has he really KO'd with one punch? no one really
Re: Biggest two-handed punchers of all time?
Little Red Lopez!....before and after he got off the mat ;D
Re: Biggest two-handed punchers of all time?
Tyson
He has literally scored KOs from every single kind of punch from either hand ... left hook KOs ... right hook KOs ... right uppercut KOs .. over hand right KOs ... even scored a KO via left jab against Alfonso Ratliff
Tyson is easily the greatest puncher in history .... he could throw any kind of punch from any kind of angle with obscene hand speed for a heavyweight ... and he threw them with pinpoint accuracy and precision. ... anything he threw had KO potential
Re: Biggest two-handed punchers of all time?
Aaron Pryor and Alexis Arguello! Sugar Ray Robinson was versatile. Salvador Sanchez could hit hard with either hand when he set his punches up. I almost forgot Wilfredo Gomez and Edwin Rosario of Puerto Rico. Who could ignore Eddie Shavers or Ron Lyle for weight in their fists. After all with Heavyweights it takes one punch to change the contest.

Earnie Shavers
Tommy Morrison
Re: Biggest two-handed punchers of all time?
Freddie Flintoff is equally devastating with either fist.
