    In some cases. In other cases it's technique too.

    What are you talking about? 45-year-old Foreman didn't have nearly as much power as young Foreman. The old version is famous for knocking out a very glass-jawed Michael Moorer.

    P4P, Julian Jackson, definetly. As strength goes, I'd say Shavers.

    No power = strength + speed in all cases idiot

    Technique is how you use it

    45 year old foreman was very strong but he was not very powerful as his speed was long gone

    Hardest doesn't always equate to most powerful. I would pick Foreman and being the hardest puncher. Tyson usually threw combinations and it was to landing of multiple punches that caused all the damage.
