What he did to Gerry Cooney scared Mike Tyson away from any match vs Big George.

    Mike Tyson's power was flashier than George's just because of his style and the fact that he threw combinations but there is no doubt that Foreman was the harder puncher.
    That left uppercut had a boat load of power. If that landed flush it may have taken his swede clean off!!
    How awesome is the uppercut for the second knockdown (and knockout) just strolls up and BANG! class.

    Have to say Foreman, haven't seen many blokes lifted off their feet by a shot but Big George did it. Tyson was explosive and many were just caught in the headlights of fear.
    Sonny Liston was also supposed to have hit hard in his day, reportedly went through several heavy bags a week when preparing for a fight.

    Clubber Lang hit hard too tho'

    My opinion on order of punch power is:

    1- Foreman
    2- Shavers
    3- Tyson
    4- Liston
    5- Joe Louis

    If you are including Shavers then Bruno needs to be included.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
