    all I have to say is that prime Tyson knocked out old Larry Holmes. Probably his best win.

    I think Tyson is the most dangerous because he would hit a glancing blow and the guy would fly across the ring like he got shot. Lewis and Wlad have SO MUCH LEVERAGE of course they are powerful hitters. Tyson generated it all from a low center of gravity. It would suck to get hit by any of them, but I think prime for prime the most devastating one or two punches would come from Tyson (and this might be because he would deliver three or four hard shots in a combination, but his single attack was still devastating stuff).

    What would that mean. Sparring sesions are not real fights and the fighters dont hit with the intent of a knockout.

    and Danny Williams knocked him out in half the time, does that mean Danny Williams is twice the fighter Lewis was?

    First of all I don't think Tyson was even a one punch KO artist, he pretty much always threw combinations, and it was his speed that caused those KO's as much as it was power. Anyway, I think when Lewis is in seek and destroy mode, (ie Ruddock, Golota) he hits as hard as anyone.

    In terms of jabs, one think I've rarely seem was that Lewis was actually stopping Vitali in his tracks with his jab. During that fight at least, that was about the hardest jab I've ever seen any fighter throw. ( say this because I don't remember Lewis throwing his jab that hard at any time prior to that fight.)


    I would put Wlad as a close second, and Tyson third. But as mentioned that's only based on power, not the ability to KO someone throwing combinations, which I'd put Tyson on top of that list.

    Might even put Foreman ahead of a couple of these fighters based on how he dropped Moore, looked like he barely threw a punch and yet Moore dropped like he was shot.

    One punch: Tyson. Neither Wlad or Lennox had this kind of electricity on his fists.
