Don't mind him. He's trolling about Wilder every single day with records, physics and achievements he doesn't have.
When someone calls him on his bullshitting he just ignores or trolls it and starts another thread with the same bull he came up before.
In other words, your typical ESB troll.

 

Thanks for posting the video, always enjoy Lennox. There are many videos of people knocking people out like this (type Tyson into youtube).

Oliver McCall was on drugs and having a bad spot, Lennox didn't really do anything physically to make him cry. That **** started before the fight.

Most heavyweights have enough power to knock their opponent out, Lennox hit harder than a lot of them, but he wasn't the hardest puncher of all time. I'm not hating on Lennox as he is one of my favorite boxers of all time, period.

If you're going on shear number of KO's and %KO then that goes to Wlad.

Ray Mercer (who fought Lennox), James Tillis (who fought Tyson and Shavers), Pinklon Thomas, and Razor Ruddock have all said that Tommy Morrison is, or is one of the people that, hit them harder than anyone else.

But everyone who has fought Wlad has said that about him.

I would say it's between Wlad, Tyson, and Foreman: With Lewis and Morrison rounding out the top 5 as honorable mentions.

6-10 honorable mentions: Ruddock, Shavers, Louis, Marciano, Liston.

But, for the record, I have never seen someone cave in a heavy bag like Foreman, and I have seen a lot of hard hitting heavyweights hit a heavy bag.

So if I had to pick, I would like to say Tyson.... But I would have to go with foreman.

 

I take everything George says with a grain of salt
He works the system good and gets away with a lot of BS

 

Exactly:good

 

The guys who beat Shavers or never fought him seemed to think so... oddly enough.

 

Shavers scored early knockouts over Ken Norton, Jimmy Ellis, Henry Clark, and Jimmy Young. He also rocked everyone he hit including Ali, Holmes, Lyle, and Cobb. You can see guys wincing and going back just from blocked or partially landed punches. May not be the hardest puncher of all time, but no doubt he is up there with the best.

 

:rofl You think Ali needed ego boost, guy who beat Frazier, Foreman Liston etc sure as hell doesnt need to lie about Shavers because it adds nothing to his record.

 

:deal Its hard to determine who is actually hardest hitter but Shavers sure hit really hard, and fact idiots here say he didnt beat them, well thats says a lot about his LACK OF SKILL not power.

 

I agree. Hitting hard was just about all Shavers could do well, its what got him to the dance and kept him in the title picture for many years. Foolish to question that.

 

How would he know?

Some people say some ridiculous ****, especially boxers who aren't known for their high IQ's.

 

If Shavers hit hard then Ali hit Foreman with horse shoes & Virgin Mary shows up in locker rooms :rofl

 

Shavers never KOed any of the better fighters he fought. Ever. Fighters with legit savage power can do that.
