Heavyweight champions with weakest power?

Vitali......weak?

 

Corbett and Braddock jump out at me. If adding the major Alphabet groups, Ellis would be a fit here, and Byrd.

 

Vitali's power wasn't great, but it's definitely not down there with some of weakest ever. Corbett and Sharkey take the cake for lineal champions IMO. Fury might be the softest punching 6'9 fella ever.

Edit: fixed a pretty crucial typo.

 

Braddock had pretty good pop in his right hand.

 

Yeah. He did drop Joe Louis. Of the 4, he definitely had the most pop.

 

I'd replace Ellis with Ernie Terrell. Ellis could really pop with that right hand. One of the few men who could say they dropped Oscar Bonavena. And he did it twice.

 

Corbett, Tunney, Braddock, Johnson

Fury can be a punishing fighter while not a great one punch guy.

 

Byrd really didn't have much power at heavyweight

 

The only way Braddock hit harder than Vitali is if he was swinging a bat. Vitali could absolutely crack and should not he mentioned at all.

 

45 wins 41 by KO

I'm no fan of the guy but he could punch.

 

They were 45 bums and most needed to be worn down.

 

True but if you have no power you can hit an opponent all day and they won't be stopped unless packing glass, Vitali could hit, not a concussive puncher but his record suggests he had more than enough power.

 

Sorry mate, I've realised what I wrote before. I agree he's no featherfist, I just don't think he's close to a great puncher.

 

Bums? I expected better from you.
