Actually I doubt these two make even the top 10 most feared heavyweight punchers in boxing history.

Foreman, Tyson, Liston, Lewis, Dempsey, Marciano, Jack Johnson, even Sam Peter probably punched harder than these two.
I didn't say hardest punchers in history, I said most feared punchers, big difference.

p.s. --Dempsey and Marciano ain't hittin' harder than Frazier.
Ok but even so I wouldn't say either was anywhere near the most feared. Tyson, Liston and Foreman were all far more feared than these two, so was Dempsey and Marciano.

Frazier was overratted imo, he did well against Ali becuase Ali didn't have the KO power to finish him but Foreman absolutely battered him twice. And he was almost knocked out by Ocscar Bonavena.

Louis struggled with a 175 lb Billy Conn. He was overratted too, any of the great champions could have reigned for 8 years if they fought a bum a month like Louis.
