    Lennox's best power punch is that overhand right/straight and a stiff left jab. I also saw him knock guys out with big right uppercuts.

    Peace to all
    lets do similar opponents

    tony tucker vs tyson= ud for tyson
    tony tucker vs lewis= ud for lewis but lewis floored him twice
    ruddock vs tyson= win 7th round tko wins 12 round ud
    ruddock vs lewis= lewis destroys him in 2
    frank bruno vs tyson= tyson wins both fights 5th and 3rd round
    bruno vs lewis= lewis wins tko but being behind on my scorecard at the time of the stoppage
    golota vs tyson= golota doesnt come out for the 3rd if i remember right so nc
    golota vs lewis = lewis destroys him in 1
    botha vs tyson= tyson kos him in the 5th but being behind at the time
    botha vs lewis= lewis destroys him in 2
    holyfield vs tyson= tyson loses in 11th and again by dq
    holyfield vs lewis = 1st fight a draw but it was biggest robbery in boxing lewis deserved it 2nd fight being close with lewis winning 7 rounds to 5
    tyrell biggs vs tyson= tyson wins 7th round tko
    tyrell biggs vs lewis = lewis wins 3rd round tko

    i thought that might help

    Ok, good job with the list HOWEVER, lets read into this list alittle more shall we


    tony tucker vs tyson= ud for tyson (tyson fought him in 87 when tucker was 29”)
    tony tucker vs lewis= ud for lewis but lewis floored him twice (he was 35 yrs old, lennox fought him in 93’)
    HOWEVER!!, Bruce seldon, herbie hide, and John Ruiz all Ko’d tony tucker, something that tyson and lewis did not do. Does this mean they are harder punchers than lewis and tyson?

    ruddock vs tyson= win 7th round tko wins 12 round ud (tyson fought him in 91)
    ruddock vs lewis= lewis destroys him in 2 (lewis fought him in 92)

    frank bruno vs tyson= tyson wins both fights 5th and 3rd round ( tyson fought him in 89 when bruno was 28, and them when bruno was 35. But wait?!?!, tyson knocked him out in earlier rounds the second time around,)
    bruno vs lewis= lewis wins tko but being behind on my scorecard at the time of the stoppage (what does being behind on the scorecards at the time of the knockout have anything to do with power)

    golota vs tyson= golota doesnt come out for the 3rd if i remember right so nc
    golota vs lewis = lewis destroys him in 1
    Lewis finaly fights someone before tyson did, HOWEVER lamon brewster ko’d golota in the first round of their fight. Does Lamon brewster have more or the same power as lewis? Even WORSE, does brewster have MORE power than tyson? Tsk tsk tsk,

    botha vs tyson= tyson kos him in the 5th but being behind at the time(tyson fights botha in 99’ when botha was 31)
    botha vs lewis= lewis destroys him in 2( lewis fights botha in 00’)

    holyfield vs tyson= tyson loses in 11th and again by dq
    holyfield vs lewis = 1st fight a draw but it was biggest robbery in boxing lewis deserved it 2nd fight being close with lewis winning 7 rounds to 5
    This doesn’t explain power at all, neither one ko’d holyfield

    tyrell biggs vs tyson= tyson wins 7th round tko (tyson fights biggs in 87 when biggs was 27)
    tyrell biggs vs lewis = lewis wins 3rd round tko (lewis fights biggs in 91’ when bigs was 31)
    Also, Tyrell biggs was ko’d by larry donald in the 2 round, does that mean he is more powerfull than tyson AND lennox lewis? Don’t forget Ray Anis, who knocked out tyrell biggs in the 3rd, I guess that means he has the SAME power as lennox lewis, and is stronger than mike tyson right?.

    You just can’t compare the opponents of the two, and look at knock out rounds. A lot of things can come into play, training, age, previous beat downs…..
    If anything, all but 1 guy that was knocked out by the two was beatin by tyson FIRST. Who knows what happens to a guy after getting KO’d by a guy like mike tyson.
    i just wanted to add something to that list of urs..tyson had biggs in the 3rd , he carried him for 4 more rounds to punish him and tyson fought a lot of the same opponents as lewis but in there primes...i dont want to take anything away from lewis just stating the facts..and tyson only fought bums post prison,in his prime he fought the best and won but theres a lot involed into tysons fall from grace..after a 4 yr lay off he fought 4 bums,of course he wasnt ready to go 12 hard rounds with holy,he didnt even train hard(why train hard for an old veterain that appears to be shot)he took holy lightly,and tyson only lost that fight due mto his fitness,he tired out and thats when holy started landing,prime tyson fought hard for 12 rounds no prob

    hard to compare Lewis to Tyson. Sort of like comparing Hearns to Benn. Lewis had that long leverage right hand power and was big, and Tyson had the inside power and ferocioius uppercut. My guess is that if I had to say who punched harder I would say Tyson for just sheer weight. When he fought guys in the mid 80s moving up to the title he was scary.. He demolished guys which would go 10 with contenders. Don't compare Tyson of now to Tyson of mid 80s. Mike was great and should be regarded as such.

    I also believe Wladimir Klitschko hits harder than Lewis.He has 16 KO's like Tyson.Wladimir has stopped guys that have great chins like Byrd,Brock,Nicholson,McCline,Mercer(TKO 6 while it went all 10 with Lewis),Shufford,Barrett,Bostice,Castillo,Wolfgramm ......
    i know ur klit fan but honestly trying to tell me that ray mercer when he was 40s was same mercer that fought lewis ?? i dont think so somehow mate it took lewis 10 rounds because mercer is tough sob and if wlad would of fought him in his prime i think wlad would of been on seat of his pants to be honest

    Tyson hit harder. He scored more one punch knock outs than Lewis. Frazier, Berbick and Botha are just some I can remember. Rahman (in there second fight) is the only one I can think of for Lewis.

    It was a nice 3 punch combination that knocked Botha down. And he still got up from it. It took 5 knock downs I believe to finish Grant. Whenever Tyson floored somebody it was usually over.

    agreed with that even when lewis hit bruno with his best left hook bruno still stayed up i believe tyson had much better one hit ko power

    I don't think it's too farfetched to say their hardest punch was about the same. A common KO opponent for both as mentioned was Golota, and Lennox crushed him alittle quicker, however Tyson had more one punch KOs, so each fighter clearly deserves to be up their as the hardest punchers who ever lived. I think if each of them was told to throw their hardest punch and it was somehow scientifically measured, they would be pretty much equal.

    This post is so bad I'm afraid I'm going to have to sad click you for 10 consecutive days. I know most fighters have their share of delusional fans, but you my friend take the cake. Here's sad click number 1, with 9 more coming in the next 9 days.

    YOu can add Rahman, a whole bunch of guys I don't remeber the fights exactly because I had Lewis' career awhile ago, but he had alot of one punch KO's, and what people forget is he had a whole arsenal of hard punches.. Both hooks, Right cross, right uppercut were his best.
