The hardest hitting Heavyweights Champions

Wilder hit harder than these 5 but I`d say Liston probably scored more one punch KO`s than the other four hereTyson and Foreman were more powerful than Marciano and Dempsey.

 

1-Liston
2-Foreman
3-Marciano
5-Wlad Klitschko
4-Joe Louis
If the thread wasn't about heavyweight champions, Shavers and Lyle would be up there too.

 

1-George Foreman
2-M.Baer
3-Marciano or D.Wilder
4-Liston
5-J.Louis or Wlad

 

#05. Sonny Liston
#04. Wladimir Klitschko
#03. Deontay Wilder
#02. George Foreman
#01. Max Baer

 

IMO:
1. Foreman
2. Liston
3. Baer

 

Nice list, would love to hear your reasoning for Baer.
Also, Wilder was never champion. At least I don't think alphabet champions should count.

 

Foreman
Wlad
Lewis
Liston
Tyson

 

No order
Lewis
Louis
Tyson
Foreman
Baer
Marciano
Wlad
Frazier
Liston
AJ

 

But if it did would you have wilder up there or not?

 

Probably. Shavers too.

 

We are still waiting Reznick....Still waiting.

 

It is only Champions so Shaver doesn't qualify. Although he may be the hardest puncher of all.

 

I read a book on Dempsey so I am certain he was a very hard puncher.

 

I think Wlad hit the hardest
