Coming to a Consensus on the P4P Hardest Puncher Ever

Yes exactly,but certainly no one on this forum.

 

Not guilty.

 

Fitzsimmons P4P hardest hitter all time confirmed.

 

Loads of the ranked heavyweights now would be around that weight if they weren't fat though. Even without extreme cases like Byrd and Toney.

What heavyweights did he KO other than a past it Choynski?

 

What are measureings, and why do they only use backwards and slow nations?

 

Beats me!

 

He killed two fighters and nearly killed Ruhlin.I think he qualifies!

 

Huh? Butterbean when he was svelte was around an even 300, & ~ 400 at his max.
The weights of Johnson & Jeffries at their prime are accurate-maybe even heavier arguably-& neither were overweight.

 

Bear did not kill more than 2 people. Arguably #2 was already weakened when he dies.
Foreman was responsible for the death of no man.
Not that this happenstance proves who hit the hardest, many random factors, equipment & the state of the opponent & bad luck play into the matter.

 

Below are the top 10 heavyweights in the world as ranked by Ring. Included is the weight they fought at in their last bout. Eight of them are 50 pounds and more over 190. Another was skinny as a rake and still 25 pounds over.

What "loads" of names would you put forward from the below that would be around 190 if not fat?

Joshua - 245
Wilder - 215
Ortiz - 241
White - 258
Povetkin - 222
Parker - 242
Fury - 258
Kownacki - 263
Miller - 315
Pulev - 240

 

Fitzsimmons hand wraps were carefully examined by Jeffries in the ring before he gloved up ,I've told you this before at least twice, will it ever sink in?

 

You couldn't get any of those guys down to 190 without sacrificing some muscle, but except for Wilder pretty much every one of them could shed about 15-25 pounds and still not be as ripped as Norton or Walcott.[/QUOTE]

 

That leaves them a long way from 190 tho.

 

Well, if Povetkin dropped twenty pounds from the weight you listed (which seems plausible to me) he'd weigh just over 200. A way from 190, but I wouldn't say such a long way. And I think the 217 pound version of Toney could easily (in principle) come in at 190 with the same muscle mass.

Also, the blubbery 205 pound Holyfield -no, just kidding on that one.
