    Their considered the two most powerful punchers in history. Do you think anyone has hit just as hard or harder.

    Lennox, Wlad, Tua, Tyson, Cooney etc...

    You can make a good argument for any of them.

    No. No you can't.

    For sheer blunt force trauma, it's hard to beat those two guys. If we're talking p4p there are a few worthwhile names, like Tommy Hearns and Julian Jackson, but for sheer punching power, those guys pretty much take the cake.

    At heavyweight, probably not. Therein are guys who have been mentioned that are close though. The all around best puncher was Joe Louis though.

    I'd say Tua is one of the hardest punchers ever, his landed shots were ****ing sick just listening to them land. Amazing left hook.
