Did anyone in history punch harder than David Tua ?

Guys like Foreman, Marciano, Lewis, Louis, and Id even say Cooper even beats Tua in power
Im not takin anything away from Daivid Tua!..His power was a sight to see and he put alot guys to sleep. One of the most entertaining HW in the past 15 years! What he did to Ruiz is just Brutality!

 

Prime Foreman likely hit harder. Not Marciano. Lewis was close, Tyson likely less, Cooper no. Louis maybe the greatest puncher, which involves skill speed & placement, but certainly did not hit as hard, maybe as hard as Frazier & Dempsey. For pure FORCE, not overall skill or accomplishments, Tua hit extremely hard.

 

Tua did not showcase his power when he moved up in class or was he able to execute vs a decent boxer...I seen him struggle with Jeff Wooden, He ko'd the guys he should have KO'd but Rahman was his best KO in the upper class, he could not do what Vlad and Ike did to Byrd ...he got Johnny Ruiz fast and young but even against the often Ko'd Maskeav it took him more than 1 punch.....Tua could hit but much was missing

 

I think Tuas power is overated. There i said it.

He did not beat a single DURABLE fighter his whole career, unless you want to count Ruiz.

Moorer, Maskaev had been knocked out numerous times before they faced Tua. Mcall stopped maskaev in one round, something Tua struggled to do. Is it really that impressive koong Moorer in one round? moorer was way past his best, was destroyed by Holyfield years earlier and always had dodgy chin anyway


Tyson hit a lot harder than Tua.

Tyson actually stepped up and knocked out guys whod never been stopped before, some were never stopped again. He also kod guys in one round whod fought other numerous great fighters.

Tua is the same as Wilder, impressive kos against **** poor opposition, but unlike Tua, Wilder hasn't stepped up yet

if anybody wants to debate this further please post Tuas top ten kos.
