    at the moment, on paper, the hardest HW ever is VItali Klitshko: with 37 kos in 38 wins, it's damn hard to do any better!! He definitely punches harder than TUA (in my opinion) and I would also rate Smoking Joe Frasier and Big George Foreman as being serious contender to the hardest HW puncher ever too.... like I said, on paper, via the results, it's Vitali but if we talk outside of the Ring results, Frasier and Foreman have to be seriously considered. Tua is behind these 3 for sure, in my opinion.

    My vote is for Foreman, after watching him punching the heavy bag for rumble in the jungle and leaving a damn dent in the heavy bag for what like 15 minutes thats insane and watching him annihilate Frazier and almost seemed effortless.

    I don't think that Vitali even hits harder than Wlad. He seems to get many of his stoppage through accumulation.

    Naw, I think that might have been Curtiss "The Hatcheman" Shepard

    Agreed. Tua has that one punch knockout power that can have his opponent dribbling all over the canvas. Vitali on the other hand hacks away and bit by bit the opponent gets chopped down.

    Tua has good instincts. I was pleasantly awestruck at the how he got to Cameron. Right before the 1st round knock down, he rolled away from Cameron's right hand, came back with a straight right to the chest, and off of that tossed the left hook in there.
    If you hear a voice within you saying that I am not a painter, then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.

    Its def pulled him out of some trailing fights w Oquendo,Maskaev,Rahman (not clean),but left almost seemed at times to not be fully closed.Huge banger but dont think best of all time when considering resume,no way.Some impressive early KO's,Bell,Sullivan,Ruiz,Wilson but not exactly world beaters.

    Love Tua's style but Lewis made easy work of him at his most dangerous stage.

    Tua is a pure warrior who would trade with anyone, he should concentrate on guys with the same mentality.

    I think Vitali hits harder than Tua (and most any heavyweight in history) but you feel it right away from the first jab, adjust to it based upon the first punch he throws.......He makes you shell up from the first punch and that is why fighters last so long......The fact they are so technically sound and throw hard jabs makes their opponents last longer......

    Ba-lee dat............

    I see your point and it is quite a good remark, however, Vitali breaks them down systematically because it is a safer way of boxing than just going open like an harvester, I really think he has that one punch destruction capacity but just prefer to play it safer. At least, it's the way I feel.
