    Foreman is in my opinion. He was just so devestating, followed closely by Tyson and Liston.

    That's stupid have you seen any of the guys fight? Do think Marciano for example would try to work behind his jab?

    One could argue that Rocky was an ATG puncher, especially pound for pound.

    Anybody that ever boxed against him said that even his punches that landed on the arms hurt like hell & ended up bringing the fighters hands down because they hurt too much to hold them up anymore.

    Lennox Lewis was a devastating puncher, what's your point? Have you seen his KO of Razor Ruddock? How about his KO vs. Rahman, Golota or Tyson?

    Probably Foreman or Lewis, IMO. Maybe Shavers or Tyson after those two.

    seems like majority agree with me..what the hell are you talking about. Standing toe to toe with foreman is suicide period. Marciano was a crude slugger but in toe to toe battle with foreman I say foreman beats the Rock. Period. Ask the toe to toe slugger joe frazier or norton about it. I am talking about a fighter that fought other great fighters...not marciano fighting a 40+ year old Joe out of retirement.:think:think:think:think:think:think:think:****off:****off:****off:****off:****off

    Going toe toe with foreman may be suicide but a leopard doesn't change it's spots fighters are who they are. PS as regards your marciano hate 49-0 mother****er.

    Yeah I did....So, Lewis has power in his str8 right hand from range. He is a tall heavyweight that weighs 260 pounds plus. He does not have the raw power of Foreman. So no way he is close. And he koed a 36 year old tyson(washed up)..I bet you are a brit...

    He didn't beat it though did he? And he was never the true champ.

    If you can;t see through a Valuev record and a Marciano record who was undisputed HW champ then you have no insight into boxing and that cannot be helped.

    Marciano was not protected in his midcareer much unlike valuev who was protected almost entirely throughout his career.

    Marciano might not have had the single hardest punch he was was the hardest consistent puncher. Remember Marciano threw 50-70 punches a round very often.

    Not even close. Read my location.

    I always appreciated Lewis and knew he would be an ATG.
