I tend to think Lewis is up there at the top in power with Foreman and others, but was so cautious he didn't rely on it as much. When he did go for it, the results speak for themselves. Look what he did to Ruddock, who was able to eat a lot of Tyson bombs.
I don’t care what mutual opponents say. Foreman. They just looked painful man. If Holyfield says you hit him hardest and that was a 40 plus year old foreman I can’t imagine a mid twenties one.
Some people who got hit by those men, also got hit by an ancient Foreman, and said that his power stacked up against theirs. If Shavers really was hitting harder than Foreman, then he was at least in the same general category as those men.
Just the power of the punch regadless of: champions, technique, opponents, career, legacy, image, charisma, belts, score, skill, precision, heart, money, adverstage, discrimination, longevity, title defense,... is Deontay Wilder.
If the punch didn't land, for which is a proper technique needed, then can't be shown how hard the punch was. Each part of a puncher is depending to the other, just power doesn't bring anything and is pure subjective. It can be only judged with other abilities together (not alone).
