    Lamar Clark is the definition of bum beater, Golota fought ok fighters and was a decent fighter himself.
    Decent doesn't mean you can take on an ATG like Lewis though.

    Norton? His Chin was awful. Shavers did not have savage power. Know how I know that? Because he didn't KO any of the better fighters he fought. Fighters with legit power can do that. Shavers didn't.

    Holyfield...

    Bert Cooper
    Ray Mercer
    Bowe x3
    Lewis x2
    Tyson x2
    George Foreman
    Michael Moorer
    Hasim Rahman
    Michael Dokes
    Dwight Muhammed Qawi

    Pretty good list, I'd say

    In fairness to the question posed in the thread title, you have to remove Lewis from that list and knock down Bowe to 1, since the question was about how many heavy punchers a heavyweight beat and Holyfield never beat Lewis and only beat Bowe once.

    I still don't believe this quote.When fighters legs are gone and their speed diminished,fighters just aren't going to be the same puncher as they were in their prime.
    Look at Joe Louis.After losing to Charles,how many KO did he register in his last 8 fights? and those 8 fighters he fought weren't even elite level

    Look at George Foreman's comeback.How many elite level fighters did he knock out?Michael Moorer,and no one else.

    At cruiserweight sure.

    But are you saying he was a harder puncher than either Golota or Briggs?

    Was Roy Jones a devastating KO artist at heavyweight?

    No, it's a discussion about who fought the larger number of legit big punchers.

    It just branched out into a power discussion because of your winning contributions, idiot.

    I thought you said this was a power discussion. Now you're trying to compare resumes.

    Was Ali a bigger puncher than Shavers because he stopped more big names?

    Fancy quotes don't mean **** either when nearly all the people making them beat the man they're talking about.

    Just like Shavers you mean.

    Yeah, I'd agree with that. Good call.

    Have to remove LL though.

    They were comparing Shavers' and Tua's power a couple pages back.. Who would you say hurt or knocked out the more legit fighters?
