    So you think that every boxing coach tells their fighter it isn't the hardest punch that scores the knockout but the on with the best technique, they are all lying?

    No. That is not true. Shavers is accepted almost unanimously as one of the hardest punchers in history. He threw every punch with the intent of destruction.

    Wlad's right that landed on AJ was a very hard punch and I was surprised that AJ shook it off, proving he has decent recuperative powers, but Wlad I don't think Wlad threw it with absolute full power to avoid getting caught off balance and getting countered. Even then, Shavers punches harder in a punch off contest on the machine Drago used in Rocky IV and he definitely throws harder punches in a fight.

    The punch Lennox landed on Rahman in their rematch has got to be up there.

    Marco Huck throws every punch with the intent on destruction. Is he one of the hardest punchers in history too?

    I won't bother to ask you for proof of that utter fantasy.

    I might get heat for this but I think Wlad is a bigger puncher than Shavers ever was.......

    Of course he is. Shavers was 210lbs soaking wet.

    That doesn't prove anything though either way, from all the footage I've seen of the pair Wlad hits harder.
