    Have been watching an old boxing tape at the weekend with a couple of Bruno's fights. It got me thinking that with the exception of maybe Earnie Shavers, I reckon big Fwank probably had the hardest right hand of all time. What do you guys think?

    Yeah just beat me to it. Marciano decking Walcott was savage. Walcotts face is distorted like some kind of rubber mask. Quality shot and impressive power from a lad who would easily make cruiserweight these days

    If we are talking the pure biggest right hand puncher (ie: not P4P, but someone at HW), then Big George Foreman is in with a shout. Sonny Liston as well.

    Mike Tyson also had a "decent" right.


    Depends really, are we talking about the orthodox straight right here? Or does any right hand shot count?

    I was thinking about the straight orthodox right hand. Surely the biggest right hand would have to be from a heavyweight or did the likes of Tommy Hearns hit harder than a heavy?

    For orthodox straight right Lennox is definetly up there; that really was his primary honey punch.

    Thinking of big hitting HW's like Marciano, Foreman, Dempsey, Shavers, Tyson, Louis etc.; they are primarily hook/uppercut punchers with the right hand (remembering Foreman's right uppercuts against Frazier: truly devastating). But of course they all threw the straight right at various times in their careers, so I don't know if you would exclude them.

    I think Sonny Liston had a very powerful straight right, didn't he?:think

    Lewis also had an underrated lead left hook
