Was tyson the hardest puncher in heavyweight history?.

[gemini]

Was he?.

[JonesJrMayweather]

i think it was foreman..imo he knocked out guys with granite chins..tyson only ko'ed bums

[Trainer Monkey]

No

[El Kabong]

No


Foreman
Lewis (yeah Lennox hit harder he was like 30 pounds heavier and he could use it)
Shavers

I'd throw Wladimir in there but I wouldn't want to get everyone all riled up...Wlad has 44 KO's and Tyson has 44 KO's....only Wlad is still fighting....there is a POSSIBILITY that Wladimir hits harder but Tyson used his power in combinations better than most. And of course everyone will question the opponents of both guys and no on wants to open that can of worms.

Vitali as well.....but I'll bite my tongue on that one


P4P in the heavyweight division Tyson is right behind Marciano (185), Dempsey (190), Shavers (205) and Foreman (220).

And he's the best combination puncher in the division's history

Wrong.......Ernie Shavers. Ali said that in a interview in 1985 that Ernie Shavers hit harder than anyone has ever hit him.

I was going to say Shavers too. I think Tyson put a lot of hard hitting combos together accuratly in his day but he wasnt so much a one punch power guy , at least not like Shavers.

Tyson was great at targeting and driving
The shots werent harder,but he was good at putting them on the button

Tyson used great technique better than Shavers and Foreman had faster hands but for overall power i gotta say Shavers Foreman was bit too wild with his punches bit like Ruddock.

....Foreman seemed to connect good enough 76 wins 68 KO's

As I said, Tyson was probably the best power puncher in regards to combinations...his hands were so fast his punches just overwhelmed his opponents.

Im not saying he didn't have power what im saying is Lyle is that Foremans punch technique wasn't that great imagine if he would have had better punch technique ?? thats scary thought.

I believe he also made a thread about Shavers punching power being overrated

Yeah he would have killed people.....Foreman was a lot like Miguel Cotto, he didn't care where he hit you he just hit you hard
