Who hit harder ? Bert Cooper or Mike Tyson ?

Savage was a total bum with no chin, he wasn`t even hit that hard.

 

Tyson would have also finished Savage with the first punch he hit him with.

 

Bert seemed to have more one punch power than Tyson, but Tyson was more effective and had much better timing than Bert. Even Joe Frazier said Bert punched harder than he did and mentioned how amazing Bert’s punching power was, but he also mentioned that Bert wasn’t dedicated to the sport, so he underachieved.

 

I'll go with that. It's clear that Bert could have been (maybe much) better than he had been, and even the career he'd had wasn't that bad.

 

Yeah and drugs can hit harder than punches as well and you must’ve been hit by a ton of drugs to post something like that, Frankenstein. When did Tyson ever knock out or knock down anyone with an elbow?

 

Tyson was much quicker and could get in position to get his power off. His hands were quicker as well.

 

Tyson.

Yes, Cooper hurt Holyfield. But, Holyfield fought a smarter fight against Tyson than against Cooper. If Tyson had fought Holyfield in 91 and Holyfield fought the way he fought Cooper, Tyson could well have put Holyfield away, unlike Cooper

 

Tyson. Stupid Tyson hater question.

 

New thread: the least successful heavyweights who possessed extraordinary punching power?

 

Lamar Clark would be in that discussion. His resume was terrible but thats the whole point. Bobby crabtree was a complete bum but he had an impressive number of KO's.

 

Gym fighters equally gifted equally conditioned and trains as hard as earnie shavers ? might as well say every bum in the the world hits as hard as Julian Jackson

 

It doesn't matter if Tyson hits harder than Cooper, Holyfield once said:

"Yeah Tyson hit hard, but Cooper could kill ya..."

 

Amir Khan is arguably faster with his hands than Ray Robinson. And that should worry Classic. A lot.

 

His hand speed probably was faster than every fighter other
than M.Taylor.

 

Tyson was better than Cooper in every way.
