Frazier could bang but he wouldn't stop Larry Donald. Larry had very good movement, say what you will about him as a fighter but anyone it takes 10 rounds for Vitali to walk down is going to be very hard for Frazier to catch. Riddick Bowe couldn't even get ahold of him to KO him and remember Vitali threw his ass down a couple times. I'm not saying Joe wouldn't completely and utterly whip his ass, he just wouldn't stop him IMO.
And Hulk, sure you could say I'm biased but allow the record to show that Wladimir has more KO's AND a better KO percentage than Riddick Bowe 43 wins 33 KO = 76 % KO percentage and Sonny Liston 50 wins 39 KO = 78% KO Percentage...Wladimir has 52 wins 46 KO = 88% KO Percentage....so I can support my claim. And If I was so biased then why would I have Wladimir rated ahead of Foreman who is (outside of Rocky Marciano) my favorite heavyweight of all time and IMO the hardest punching heavyweight of all time? I just used a different method to arrive at the guys I think hit the hardest and honestly it doesn't look so bad right now...it's fairly unbiased as it took into account the speed and weight behind the punches and merged those together.
Sonny Liston fought in an era that was worse than Marciano's and he wasn't at the top for too long either. He could punch fairly hard but his signature KO's were of Floyd Patterson a light heavyweight.
I haven't seen many shots Riddick landed that wowed me...he was a great fighter for a short amount of time and was a great blood and guts boxer but he didn't really hit all that hard with 1 punch.
