    Brand new interview.
    In my opinion he was too on point.

    Helped train both Klitschkos, and Holyfield, and said "Marciano, the hardest puncher I've ever seen."

    When was he hit by Rocky? Archie Moore was, he rated Sheppard and Durelle as harder punchers.Don C*ckell said he wasn't the hardest puncher he fought either, but that he consistantly threw hard punches. Not a fan of Turner he is a second stringer imo.

    Steward ranked Lewis and Wlad as his hardest punchers.

    The man is entitled to his opinion and Marciano was certainly a brutal puncher but seriously ?

    For under 200lbs he probably ranks with Dempsey,Langford, and Fitz.
    Too many moderate fighters went too many rounds with him to classify him as the hardest hitter imo

    No one man was "the hardest puncher ever".
    If there was, we wouldn't know. No one knows.

    But Marciano is right up there alongside anyone.

    I'm not a fan of Steward. I prefer Turner.

    Marciano can hit as hard if not harder than any "super heavyweight" today or that ever lived.

    Why wasn't Don out there looking for another powerpunching midget to rule the heavies?

    Instead he chose Michael Grant.

    Think, people. Think.

    When are he and his 4 KOs and 33 years making their heavyweight debut?

    Analogize correctly, people.
