    I'd imagine for one punch power it's either Lewis or Wlad.

    From that list I'd say Shavers then Foreman then Liston.

    All time I'm gonna go against the usual candidates and say Tommy Morrison. I specifically recall Magna saying that of all the people he talked to the hardest left puncher was "far and away" Morrison and this would include Tua. So yah Morrison. I've seen fights where his jab landed with such an impact and made such a sound it looked more powerful than Tyson's greatest hooks.

    Mercer said Morrison hit him hardest so that eliminates Lewis...Wlad is certainly a possibility.

    Out of all those listed,George Foreman probably has the most raw power.
