Hardest puncher, ever? (heavyweight)

[PhillyFightGame]

I say you left one out. How can you leave out Smokin Joe's left hook? My top 5:

1- Tyson
2- Shavers
3- Foreman
4- Frazier
5- Norton

Hey I am new and started the same type of thread, but I agree absolutely with your ranking of hardest punching heavy weights of all time

Tua hit harder than Foreman. Reason being, I think Ali would not have been able to Rope-a-Dope him; he just hits way too hard.. (Although Ali would have danced his pants off a la Lennox Lewis)

My list:

Tuaman
Shavers
Foreman
Tyson
Marciano
..... honorable mention ....
V Klitschko

At any weight hardest hitter
Gatti
Marciano (if u consider him a LHW)
Hearns

1 tyson
2 foreman
3 shavers
4 Liston
5 Lyle

Now that is a great ranking, I agree with it. We should remember that the great Ali beat the first four and , therefore should be on the list of hardest heavy weight punchers

Joe Frazier , was almost knocked out by Oscar Bonavena and I think he was very lucky to get the decision. Ali knocked out Bonavena?

ali is the best boxer but not the biggest puncher

I did not say Ali was the hardest puncher what I meant he should be in the list, and not someone like Patterson who some guys put in their list

Sonny Liston said he was led to believe that Ali could not punch, after the first fight he said "That kid can really punch hard"
