Do you think Sam Peter hits harder than Dempsey, louis, marciano, foreman liston

[Beanflicker]

I think he does hit harder than the smaller HWs of yesteryears like Marciano, Dempsey, Louis, ect. Because lets face it, these guys were just cruiserweights and in some cases Light heavyweights.

I dont think he hits harder than Liston or Foreman though.

A prime Riddick Bowe would blast out any heavyweight today within two rounds, including Peter.

Does that make him the biggest puncher ever? Nope. He was damn heavy handed though and could put his punches together.

True, but Riddick was only in his prime for like 4 fights Too bad. He could have been an ATG if it wasn't for Don King and the buffet table.

He was his own worst enemy.One of the best inside fighting heavies in a while when he was in top form.When the crazy talk about refrigerators In the bedroom started it was clear what was ahead Lol.

I think too much emphasis is put on pure punching power these days.With out technique and full skill set it can be misleading.

I think Laziness combined with the Freakish Chinned, Iron Willed Holyfield took way too much out of him. He was never the same after the first Holyfield fight. he also kinda wrecked Holyfield.

Yep.At times You could see it in his body language.Just seemed Aloof and disinterested.He was always doing that Ali Impersonation and mugging in interviews.Nice enough guy with great skills who I don't think ever realized his full potential.

That 1st Holyfield war took some out of him Indeed.Holyfield made that one much tougher than he should have (Whats new?).After a nice first round working with the jab and boxing well,It all changed up in the 2nd when holyfield got pissed,Planted his feet and started swapping bombs.The best Bowe has ever looked I think.Sad now....Makes Mayweather sr. look like a great orator.Is he still planning on fighting?

[El Kabong]

Daxx, not only did those guys put their whole weight behind their punches, they threw technically correct punches and not wide looping hayemakers (for the most part)


As for Riddick Bowe, he came up as a sparring partner for Holyfield and I think that would take a lot out of him to begin with. If you look at his style and his training you can understand why his career was so short.

His style was that of a Holyfield-Lewis hybrid and sometimes he would give his height up and take un-needed punishment or exchange on the inside.

His training was like that of Ricky Hatton, get really fit and then blow up between fights.

I certainly hope not. I heard he now has like a 75 IQ. The wars have certainly taken a toll on him. He never did see his full potential unfortunately. But you could see his greatness almost come out in certain fights. His prime was soooo short though. It is a shame really. He and Holyfield stole each others primes.
