We disagree on the size and modern vs classic issue, but I've noticed your a good poster who is open-minded and genuinely wants to learn, keep up the good work and good threads like this one!

I'm not sure the source was legit or the one who used to post here (apparently the same).
Apparently he's given conflicting information on his identity in confidence with other posters here.

He has. Very good poster, though.

This is the testimony of a boxer who sparred with many recent HW legends.
Here he describes the power of each fighter he fought.
This is taken from another old forum. The poster was verified.
Guess who he felt had the most power?

"I used to box professionally from time to time, but nowadays I still spar. I've sparred with many legends. AJ asked to me describe what it is like to be in the ring with them and gauge their punching power. I will not reveal my name for personal reasons, but under anoymousity I feel a bit safer. If you want to know my identity send me an email, but I doubt you've heard of me anyway. I only had three professional fights.

I fought Lennox Lewis and Riddick Bowe as an amateur.

Riddicks power wasnt memorable to me. It probably got better as he got older, cause he never even remotely buzzed me in either of our contests.

Lennox hit like a ****ing tank. He cowed me; I won the first round, and he literally broke my spirit and took my soul with a right uppercut and straight right hand in the 2nd. I tried to stay away, and forgot to punch. He never got me quite as good again, but I will never forget those two punches. When we sparred years later, he hit very hard. Distinctly unpleasant to be hit by the man.

David Tua was unpleasant. I can't see myself getting stopped by him early, as he never really staggers me, but every shot hurt, and he'd bang. Every other guy I ever sparred would box when I got aggressive, but David would stand his ground and give. I'd get these horrible headaches after sparring with him, and Dave told me once that whenever he knew I was on the dance card, he'd drink extra water for his brain. Nice guy. Hit like a wrecking ball. David Tua hit hard enough to knock my headgear clean around my face. Dude had a pretty limited style, but that left was quick as a cobra when he was sharp, and boy did it have bite. Having sparred them both, Wladimir would school Tua and probably turn out his lights. He just lacks almost any sort of refinement to his violence. Granted, I don't really either unless I'm really, really on that day, but the best heavyweights I've sparred handled me a lot easier than David did. Feels kinda bad critiquing the dude, though. He's a fun guy, super hospitable and friendly, hit like a truck and put me through plenty of painful paces. I only hope our careers and lives don't end up with me required to face him with 12's and no mask. I can't afford the surgery.

Evander Holyfield was a machine gun. He put me on my butt first round we ever sparred with a 7 or 8 punch volley. He just punched well; He'd move around and when he let them go, they hit, hard and fast and in large numbers. He was the weakest of the group since Bowe, but probably the most dangerous. He never found me difficult to find, and turned me into a bobble head more than once.

George Foreman was tricky. His jab was absolutely numbing-Ive never felt a jab like that, where your whole face would feel like it got novacained after he hit you with it. He'd also throw light punches primarily, almost pitty pat, till he had the opening, and then he'd wallop you. His punches had the most force; They didn't hurt any worse than Tua or Lewis, but I remember how badly they'd screw with my balance. His shots moved me. He also broke my nose with a straight right.

Wladimir Klitschko hit me by far the hardest, though. I couldn't get past the jab, and his right hands hit like thunder. They reminded me of Lewis', but they were quicker and sharper. Wladimir staggered me regularly in sparring. There are literally whole rounds I don't remember. He also knocked me out with a left hook. Not down, out. Only time in my life I've seen canvas and not been able to stand up by 10 seconds. "*

That guy used post on here and after he was exposed as a bullchitter he never came back.

A good poster called SpMauler blew his act wide open.

You guys sure it's the same dude? He still posts on that same forum seemingly with his credibility still in tact.

http://www.boxinginsider.com/headlines/oliver-mccall-recalls-the-night-he-knocked-out-lennox/

BoxingInsider: Who was the hardest puncher you faced?

Oliver McCall: “Bert Cooper. Left hook. That was the hardest punch that I ever felt and that I had to overcome. It felt like a truck had hit me. I never got hit by a truck but it felt like if a truck would have hit me.”

BoxingInsider: Who else is up there? Lennox?

Oliver McCall: “No, Lennox wasn’t one of the hardest punchers that I…Buster Douglas hit me harder than Lennox did. Right hand.”

BoxingInsider: How about Tyson? Is he up there?

Oliver McCall: “Tyson right there too. Lennox would probably be about fifth.”

He told me he intentionally left some misinformation to throw people off the path. Unfortunately, he did mention his birthday had recently passed at one point, which didn't make it too difficult to figure the rest.

Why the hell would he want to do that? Is he related to Adolf Hitler or something.....

The other boxers in the other forum have mentioned that the guy is very private.

Well, he point blank told me he was someone who apparently he told you he isn't.
There's a chance he's punch drunk and gets confused about who he is.
Good poster though.

Yes, that's him.

Can't blame Herc for being skeptical. I could very well be wrong but my intuintion tells me that this is a fan trying nonchalantly to convince us that his hero has power beyond compare. Maybe it was the "by far the hardest puncher" part that made me feel that the whole thing is B.S.

Well after sparring with the best heavyweights of the last 30 years that's no surprise..... me thinks someone has been playing Knockout Kings too much.

The guy has 600 posts on that forum, and when you start to read more of his content, it's clear that he's for real. Don't think the other pros on that forum would vouche for him if that wasn't the case. In fact they would be the first to point out that he was a fraud. Stolen valor kind of deal.

If his 5 years on a forum is all a fraud, that's one long dedicated con. But if you actually read more of his stuff common sense tells you he's for real.
