I've seen interviews with guys like Holyfield and Ray Mercer and neither of them rate Lewis as the strongest puncher they've faced ... Holyfield claimed that Foreman hit him the hardest. Bert Cooper seemed to hurt Holyfield more than Lewis and so did Riddick Bowe. Mercer said that Tommy Morrison hit him the hardest. I know for a fact Frank Bruno will tell you that Tyson hits harder than Lewis.

Frans Botha also said that Tyson was the hardest puncher he fought and not Lennox Lewis

I doubt any of Mike's leftovers that Lewis fought (he fought A LOT of them) would tell you that Lennox Lewis hit them the hardest.

Lennox Lewis was powerful and had a dynamite right hand but his power is overrated IMO.

I don't think I'm getting carried away at all. Lennox had a jab from hell and I'll bet if you ask anyone he faced they would sustain that. He was also a supremely hard puncher. Power punches are harder to measure because the "when" it lands is a big part part of that measuring. Holyfied btw would never admit that Lennox was the hardest puncher he faced and Mercer probably includes him. Ftr I never said he was the hardest puncher in history. I said I believe him to have the heaviest jab in history and a right hand that could most likely put most people to sleep. His left hook isn't that bad either.
