Hardest Hitting HW's That Fought Eachother

Foreman vs Shavers would've been something else.

Sticking with the 70's theme, I'd say FOreman vs Frazier. Even though it was a one-sided destruction, Smokin' Joe is considered to be one of the hardest hitting punchers in the history of the sport.

 

Yes, both were knocked down twice including double-knockdown in round 4(?)

 

I think Foreman v.s Shavers would have looked a lot like Foreman v.s Lyle. That's one that WOULD NOT have went the distance. Lol

 

Bert Cooper v.s Moorer

 

Ibeabuchi vs Tua

 

Great thread. Going back through hw atgs I'd come up with the following: Vitali Lewis, Sanders, and Peter belong on there. Wlad Haye Peter. Lewis Tyson Rahman Bruno Golota. Tyson Bruno Ruddock. Foreman Frazier Lyle. Marciano Louis.

 

Mike Tyson vs Tony Tucker
David Tua vs Rahman
Rahman vs Maskaev
Bowe vs Gonzalez
Lewis vs Briggs
Briggs vs Liakovich

 

Yea man. Both hard hitters but furthermore, both had granite chins and both didnt know you could step back! As you can imagine, it was that mouthwatering.

I think I remember hearing one of the commentators saying their fight recorded the highest number of punches throwin in a single heavyweight bout.

Yup, but Rahman managed to hang onto the ropes so Sanders was penalized the KD alone, much to his disgust lol.

 

Tua vs Tyson

Just Imagining the action in that is exciting

For actual fights, Tua vs Ibeabuchi

 

Weak thread.

Fails to list the best competition of all them all;

David Tua - Ike Ibeabuchi

 

no mention of wilder-nichols
