Mike Tyson was the hardest puncher ever?

[TheChosenOne]

Hey I am new but a boxing fan of many years

For the past few years I have concentrated on the heavy weights , over time

By carefully watching videos and TV of great heavy weight fights over the the last century and even into this century of 2009 I am convinced at his best Mike Tyson was both the hardest puncher in heavy weight boxing history. And potentially the greatest of all time, until sadly his money grabbing wife mother in-law and Don King came in and messed up his boxing life

He punched much like the great Joe Louis, short hard and accurate, but with much more power

What people don't remember is he was bigger and stronger than the likes of Sonny Liston, as big as George Foreman in fact, but 100% dynamic muscle

He was the most magnificent physical specimen ever to embrace the boxing arena and it still greatly saddens me that he was never allowed to fulfil his true awesome boxing potential


George Foreman , a really nice guy, also was a very hard puncher maybe the next hardest after Tyson at his very best

Tyson might have had problems with the very tall Foreman and his powerful clubbing punches. Foreman liked fighting shorter opponents and this might have been a factor if both had met at the very best

People are under rating Bruno's power. He fought a lot of bums but he could hit just as hard as Shavers.

Bruno was a bum himself, he fought Tyson after Tyson had reduced himself to a bum also. And even this grey shadow of Mike Tyson was able to stop him.

Ernie Shavers could knock down walls, but he was a poor boxer but a much harder hitter than Bruno. I think Frank Bruno must be given credit as a good heavy weight

Let me lay around with the ranking of the hardest punching heavy weight, not the greatest heavy weight remember, that is another debate
1. Tyson
2 Foreman
3. Shavers
4. Louis
5 Liston
6 Lewis
7. Frazier
8. Ali
9. Norton
10.Tua

Mohammed Ali beat Foreman, Shavers, Liston, Norton with 2, 3,5 and 6 heck!! he beat five of the six on the list and you dont include him in the list of hardest punchers?

Look at that list and move it around if youlike, maybe we can reach some sort of an agreement

I removed Marciano and Patterson , they were simply to small to be compared to these guys
