Who is a harder puncher between Foreman, Wladimir Klitschko, Wilder and Mike Tyson??

Wlads KOs we’re more dramatic and devastating than Foreman or Tyson

And Wlad kept his reign going for over 10 yrs. I realize this thread is about power KO punching, and Wlads left OR right hand KO power ranks up there with ANYone

His sheer strength and power was among the absolute best

 

Foreman.

 

Tyson was not as powerful as the others-in individual blows.
His speed & combinations & not anticipating punches made him devastating.
I guess he was a 1/2" over 5'10".
But his peak weights were 214-221, not 212 lbs.

 

Wlad could theoretically throw the hardest punch but his style was really that of a boxer as opposed to a slugger. he didn't really sit on his punches that often. So the guy to consistently throw the harder punches is probably Tyson who didn't much jab or anything anyway.

 

Tyson for me

 

1.Wlad
2. Foreman
3. Wilder
4. Tyson

First 3 are very close contested.

 

Tyson gets a silly amount of disrespect I see. He's the only man to send iron jawed Holmes to the shadow realm. Only man to send Spinks to the shadow realm fwiw. He's got more clean KOs than Wilder who is in the TKO business more than people like to admit
I rate Wlad number one and Foreman a close second.

 

So even Tyson Fury wouldn't wait for the final bell?

I can say two things (for Foreman, Wladimir Klitschko, Wilder and Mike Tyson):
1. Mike Tyson is certainly not the hardest puncher
2. Mike Tyson certainly has the best combo

 

Hmmm... Foreman is probably the hardest, maybe a bit more than Wlad. I'd consider Wilder a terrific puncher, but so far his knockouts are like 90% over tomato cans. But he is a hard puncher, not denying it. Mike Tyson is the lesser one here, but don't get it wrong - we talk about who's the harder puncher, not the greater boxer overall.

Anyway, such comparisons are tricky.

 

Hard to say because it may differ if we talk a single punch or the cumulative punching force of a combination both hands .

Wilder , tyson and foreman are known to have a simply devastating single punch power . Vlad is not known for a truly nuclear right hand but he is known to have more than adequate punching power AND great defensive skills .

So if we talk only a nuclear single punch then
Wilder or tyson first , foreman very close behind and vlad a good bit behind the three

 

Who knows who hit hardest, the fact of the matter is none of them were found lacking for punch power, and each and everyone if they landed their coup de grâce, then they would leave an opponent with a whole lot less functioning brain cells than at the start of the bout

 

Many say Tyson was not a one trick pony but rather a master combo fighter and a master finisher... Ok, agree...but when I rewatch Golota and Botha on the canvas dropped by those short straights the thought that Tyson can hit as hard as Wlad or Wilder with one only shot comes often to my mind and doesnt leave me in peace. So now Im convinced he had enough power in the right hand to be compared at least with Wlad.

 

What do those two things have to do with Wlad, Foreman, or Wilder?

 

Wilder's had at least two blatant dives on his record.
