Mike Tyson was the hardest puncher ever?

[Taeth]

Foreman was landing a lot more against Holyfield when he was in the right position, how often did you see Tyson get a lined up shot against Holyfield that he landed? Tyson because of his height had a hard time landing the right shot. He hit Cooney a ton of times in the second round with solid punches, but once again.

How many punches did it take in the first round?

Tall guys don't get the same body mechanics into their punches, they just don't have the coordination.

I am not saying Foreman didn't land harder on certain opponents than Mike Tyson, but if they were both hitting something, Tyson would have the more force on his punches, Foreman just didn't have the technique, the speed, or low center of gravity to produce comparable power.

You could argue David Tua or Shavers IMO, but not Foreman. Lennox Lewis was the only big guy I've ever seen in the pros that had that snap and crack to his punches that guys like Tua, Tyson, and Shavers had. IMO Felix Savon also had it, but never got to show it as a pro.

Hey you win.....George just couldn't punch at all....I'm shocked we're even arguing over it sure he had 68 KO wins but God he fought a bunch of guys who ANYONE could KO....how Joe Frazier lasted a full round with anyone I am not sure, the guy just couldn't take a punch


Mike Tyson could KO anyone with one punch and that's why he never lost
