harder puncher lewis or tyson?

Way harder ??

I watched them both throught there entire careers, care to illustrate your point?

Lewis absolutely walked through Ruddock, Golota, Rahman (the second time around) so I don't know how anyone can hit "way harder" then the way he demolished these guys.

Yes, I know Tyson demolished many guys too, but how does that equate to one hitting "way harder" than the other?

 

Lewis. Take off the blinders...he knocked out much better opposition and comparing common opponents...Lewis took them out much quicker.

Tyson hit like a mother, but Lennox hit harder. It simply isn't disputable.

 

really? atsch lewis picks lewis. what a suprise.

 

this

 

IDK Tyson killed Bruno, he also knocked Botha out with just 1 punch.

 

What debate are you talking about? lewis might hit harder than Tyson, I personally think he does at least on a single punch basis..Tyson probably edges him out in the combo department though, but regardless, Lewis is in no one's top P4P list.

I'd personally pick Holyfield over them both on a P4P list, now if you're talking about a p4p punching list, I believe the Ring magazine picked Louis over both of them, and I tend to agree. Foreman too would rate higher than them both.

 

It's a difficult question to answer...Lewis is of course a much bigger and heavier man, both had good punching technique...Tyson flattened a couple of common opponents with one punch whereas Lewis dropped them with combos (Botha, Golota) and Lewis dropped one or two who Tyson didn't, or sooner/with less softening than Tyson (Ruddock, Tucker). Tyson dropped Bruno in both their fights, Lewis didn't and so on and so on. The fact is they both hit so ****ing hard that I doubt there's much of a difference either way but a significant something to take into account is that Lewis was a jabber and Tyson was a 'take your ****ing head off with every punch thrown' fighter. Also both were wont (oh look it up in a dictionary) to throw looping punches but given the difference in their builds and styles, a loaded, looping Tyson punch was far more likely to hit the target than a loaded, looping Lewis punch. Tyson was better at punching his weight but Lewis had more weight to punch.
Tyson was far more likely to land his best shot than Lewis was but I really don't think there'd be much in it either way if they each hit a Rocky IV pressure pad. Hope this makes sense as I'm half drunk at the time of writing.

 

:good:yepExactly what i was thinking.
For the record there is'nt much between them. Both fearsome punchers! Tyson's were more a sharp shock to the system, whereas Lewis' were more heavy and telling. Lewis i feel had the harder single punch. Probably because of his size.

 

For Raw Power:

Lewis Right Hand
Tyson Right Hand
Tyson Left Hand

Lewis Left Hand

 

LOL. At an elite level the differences will be minimal, like in any other sports. In golf, tennis etc. nobody hits "twice" or "thrice" as hard as the other guys. In boxing it will the same. The good punchers will be separated by 5-10 percent.

 

For the first time I agree with you. Both their power were off the scales, both scored one-punch knockouts.... there's not much between them, power-wise..

 

Lewis...
