    There is no doubt that Mike Tyson was indeed the hardest puncher in the heavyweight division ! The one thing I've noticed in the last several years
    is no matter what Tyson has done outside of the ring it doesn't change his accomplishments in the ring. It's too bad that people can't admit that. This also includes his ability to almost decapitate his opponents. It wasn't until the last couple of years in his career that his abilities changed. He just simply lost interest in the sport ! Don't forget that this is the man most heavyweights avoided due to fear !

    im surprised no one entered V Klitschko on a list, 36 stoppages in 37 fights.
    one might think he hits harder than Rocky, Tua, Shavers ect...

    If I am correct, the ring magazine rated him as the hardest hitter from the HWD of all time and I agree too, with such rooster, Dr Faust deserves that honor, especially as he can still bash down the best of opposition at 37 years of age.

    Compared to Tyson or Foreman Klitschko is a bum. A nobody from South Africa knocked him out in the second round. I just cant recall the guys name but it will come to me

    Tyson at his best, in his prime was the most exciting boxer ever to enter a boxing ring, and I include all weight groups in that statement, he was the most exciting to watch

    (are you the Nameless from the Philosophy forum? just curious)

    Corrie Sanders looked as if he would be more at home on the golf course,he did not 'look' the part of a legit Heavyweight threat.But he had solid hand speed and was a hard sharp hitter......that was Wlad Klitschko that he sparked out in two round....he came no where close to KOing rock chinned Vitali though.

    as was said that was his brother Wlad that got ko'd by Sanders, Vitali ko'd him,
    are u talking about hardest hitting or most exciting? yeah Tyson was probably the most exciting fighter to watch, but I'd prefer to take a dig off him than off V Klit...

    One thing I will never deny Tyson is his power. But harder than Foreman? No chance. Tyson was sparking decent HW fighters (not great), old greats (Larry Holmes) and good LHW's (Mike Spinks).

    Big George was smacking ATG's such as Frazier and Norton all over the ring and the only men of that quality Tyson fought were Holyfield and Lewis and though he never really landed his very best stuff on Lennox he did get Evander with some great shots and Evander just stood there. I don't care how great Evander's chin is he wouldn't have stood upto Foreman in the 70's, Hell he struggled with the old man.
