Who are the top 3 hardest hitting heavyweights ever?

[OMGWTF]

Im guessing

1) Earnie Shavers (would have Koed Ali had Ali not tricked him, something foreman couldn't do, took out Nortan faster with les punches than Foreman, everyone in his era said he hit the hardest and im not going to disagree with them)

2) George Foreman (Holyfield said he hit harder than Tyson, Bowe, Lennox Lewis and anyone he ever fought, he stopped chugov everyone that didn't fight shavers said he was the hardest hitter theve ever known)

3) Riddick Bowe (Koed Holyfield which Tyson Lennox old Foreman, couldn't do)



Please no honourable mentions or naming fighters because you like them please try to improve my top 3 and give an objective reason for why you think a particular fighter hit harder than Shavers, Foreman or Bowe

[Bill Paxtom]

When they were right.

* Max Baer
* Jack Dempsey
* Mike Tyson

Very Underrated
* Ingemar Johansson

INPO I'd go with,

Lewis
Vitali
Tyson

[brocktonblockbust]

George Foreman
George Foreman
and Earnie Shavers

honorable mentions:

Ron Lyle (floored Foreman 3 times I think, not via george's exhaustion but with sheer power punches early in the fight when Goerge was still fresh as a daisy)

Rocky Marciano (cocksucker would hit someone and good night...except for ol' Don of course, that mofo may have had the best chin ever in boxing --- made Rocky look bad!)

Lennox Lewis (completely blew away fighters with single shots)

P4P
Foreman
Tyson
Rocky

[brocktonblockbust]

P4P
Foreman
Tyson
Rocky

that list rocks and rolls.

[Bill Paxtom]

Earnie Shavers

One of the Top 10 'hardest' hitters.

Great {KO %}, but there are some questions.

[Beanflicker]

Tyson, Foreman, and Shavers

Bowe?? I don't think Riddick belongs anywhere near this list.


Foreman
Tyson
Shavers
Ruddock (can't leave him out)

[ross]

For those who pick Lewis over Tyson.

Tyson won more heavyweight title fights early.

[mikeeod]

Tough question to narrow to three but my top picks are:
1) Joe Louis
2) George Foreman
3) Mike Tyson

Honorable mention: Lennox Lewis, Ernie Shavers, Sonny Liston, Tommy Morrison and Razor Ruddock

p4p

rocky

no p4p this is in total

[Mr140]

Well i think bowie not a bad choice i mean he hurt Holyfeild worse then Foreman, Lewis and Tyson did. Although i think Holyfeild in there last fight was having health issues guy hart was fucked i think. I also think at some point he had hep b but Bowie did hurt Holyfeild.
