Hardest Puncher Today and Historically

[Peter Som]

Today excluding the hevs I’d have to go with Chocolatito. Opposite end of the spectrum.

All time that’s a tough one.

For me it’s between Jimmy Wilde and Sam Langford and as Al pointed out Jackson was also a freak. The three of them are further proof that punchers are born and not made. Langford was a blown up middleweight and has more ko’s then Tyson and Foreman combined. Wildes record is really w/o equal and that does not include the hundreds of tent fights he had knocking out guys three or 4 times his size wearing 4 oz gloves.

I would have to agree with you on Chocolatito. That KO against Soto cannot be described as anything else but a thing of beauty.

Historically, well, that's hard for me because you have to consider different boxers, their era and the contexts of their fights. I'm gonna have to go with obvious and right in front of us, Iron Mike Tyson. I've been studying the boxing game for a while, new and old, not an expert by any stretch, but I know enough to make educated and calculated statements.

I'm going to have to go with Tyson historically and for all times.
