    Williams hit harder than Liston?

    I think in a Sonny Liston documentary when facing Cleveland Williams it was stated that Williams hit harder of the two.

    Surprisingly, yes. Sonny Liston's fists looked like bricks.

    P4P Marciano. By some margin too I'd say. Williams power is overrated :)

    Neither Charles,Cockell,Moore, or Lastarza said Rocky was the hardest puncher they fought,since none of them fought Williams we have no comparisons,to look at.
    Anyone stating definitively one way or the other has a serious agenda problem
