Tyson had explosive power & f*ck taking a dig of him, Haye is also very quick and we know he has power but we have yet to see what he can really do with it in the heavyweight division. Tua, although a bit of a plodder.. if he caught you clean it was definatley lights out. Wlad Klitschko is the harder puncher of the two brothers, but as we know he does not commit much to a full force punch, but when he does you have to feel sorry for whoever is on the recieving end This is quite a hard one I feel, but I'd probably give it to Tyson just over Wlad.
I think as far as raw power punch for punch it's Tua, but I would consider prime Mike Tyson a more "dangerous" puncher due to superior speed and technique that would cause him to be more likely to actually land a big shot...especially one that the opponent can't see coming, which we all know usually have the most devastating impact. Wlad is a close 3rd but because of the leverage he gets due to his height and technique he might actually be 2nd. Really hard to know though unless you let them all tee off on your face and can live to tell about it. :!: Where is Randall "Tex" Cobb when you need him? :thumbsup
tyson and the klitschko's always had bad intentions when they threw their right hand. tua seems a bit slower though due to his plodding punching style.
I didnt say he lost his power after '88, it was somehow diminished but still unbelievable power..try watching his fights before he became champ, I thought he was a freak of nature while watching him knocking everybody out in the 90"s... You'll be surprised as I am bro
Tua would be a contender, but only with the left hook. Tyson had great variety and huge power in every shot. They are the two standouts for me, I'm not sure which Klitschko you are referring to. I've never seen devastating displays of one punch power from Vitali Klitschko, Herbie Hide aside. Wlad is a harder hitter. Tyson Tua Wlad Haye / Vitali
1. Tua's left hook 2. Tysons swinging combination. 3. Haye's lunging in punches. 4. Wlad's perfected jab.
Tysons punching power is over rated, he rarely knocked guys out with one punch. How many clean punches did he land on Pinkland Thomas before he went down. He hit Bruno with a hundred clean shots and the guy finished on his feet. He threw brutal and shocking combinations, his hand speed was awesome and delivered shocking punches through velocity but he was nowhere near the biggest puncher in the division. Out of the four choices given Tua is way ahead of the others for pure hard punching knockout power.
Wlad K. Trainer tommy Brooks says that he even hit harder then Tyson. Strange also that V.K and Hasim Rahman said the hardest they were by was Corrie Sanders?! Guess it depends on the fighter and situation.
Doesn't mean he lost his power. It just means he was knocking out bums with glass jaws like Sammy Scaff ffs. Geez.
