Hardest punching heavyweight- Joey Abell

[The Promoter]

Don Elbaum telephoned last week to spread a message: Boxing fans should no longer be depressed about the demise of Pacquiao-Mayweather. A new mega-fight is on the horizon.

Elbaum is an adviser to Joey Abell; a 28-year-old heavyweight from Coon Rapids, Minnesota. Joey has a (somewhat padded) 25-and-4 record, with 24 of his victories coming by way of knockout.

Elbaum swears that Abell is “the hardest punching heavyweight since John L. Sullivan.” He further proclaims, “When it comes to pure punching power, I’d rank Joey, Earnie Shavers, and Mike Tyson one-two-three in that order.”

Note to readers: When pressed, Elbaum acknowledges, “To be completely honest, Earnie Shavers at his peak might have punched as hard as Joey.”

2008 was a bad year for Abell. On April 26, 2008, he was knocked out in four rounds by Andrew Greely, who has lost 16 of his last 17 fights (the sole win coming against Abell). On September 5th, Joey lost a six-round decision to 44-year-old Al Cole (who was coming off a 42-month layoff and three consecutive losses). Then, on November 28th, he was disqualified in a bout against Jason Nicholson, who has triumphed twice in his most recent 27 outings.

But Elbaum is quick to note that Abell rebounded in 2009 with five wins over “the toughest guys I could find; and they were hard to find because most guys are afraid to fight Joey.

here's the hardest punching fighter in history

Actually really funny, watched some youtube stuff and it seems like he loads up on everything. Hardly a Shavers, Tyson, Tua, Foreman, Liston, Frazier or even George Chuvalo...More along the lines of a lefty Vinny Maddalone, which would make for a nice fight

Hmm....Now you mention it a bout with Maddalone would be pretty entertaining....Vinny is a low level gate keeper that always has action bouts win or lose
