Off topic but this could've been a sight; //Heavyweight Factory boxing gym in Hollywood Florida received a surprise visitor this afternoon when WBO, IBF, IBO and Ring magazine world heavyweight champion Wladimir Dr. Steelhammer Klitschko (55-3, 49 KOs) stopped in for some light conditioning. Klitschko mercilessly assaulted one of the gyms heavy bags for almost 20 straight rounds until the hapless sack tore off the iron cross beam securing it.//
There was a thread a while ago on classic forum about a boxer who sparred Wlad, Lennox, Bowe and Holyfield, and said that Wlad hit the hardest...not sure about Tyson.
What decent fighter did Wlad ever one punch KO? The answer is none. Wlad is an accumulation puncher , not a one punch knockout artist. Byrd, Haye, Wach , Chambers would no way in hell last 12 rounds with prime Tyson.
Tyson was the most destructive in the ring due to a combination of speed , power , punching technique and his aggressive style, but I actually think if all 3 throw one punch with everything behind it wlad hits hardest , with tyson and Lewis very close for second
I would guess L Lewis. I think Wlad sometimes holds back with his shots for what may come back at him. I think it could be close between Tyson and Wlad, possibly Wlad ahead of Tyson with Lewis a bit ahead of Wlad
I'm struggling to think who Wlad has knocked out with one punch. Even Tyson who was a devastating combination power puncher rarely knocked opponents out with one shot. It's got to be Lewis.
Mike Tyson followed by Lennox Lewis followed by Wladimir Klitschko. Wlad wears people down rather than being an explosive puncher, so he's not even at the races in this contest.
Wladimir's punches are probably the heaviest, but he prefers to wear people down then KO them. I'd say that Lennox hits harder than Tyson based on the size. Tyson is the most explosive among them though.
