    In terms of pure power: Tua, Shavers, and Foreman.

    In terms of overall punching ability: Tyson and Louis.

    :roll: Can you stop with the lame ass "I don't care what anyone thinks. I have my own opinions because I'm an individual" routine? It's getting old.

    I think Bonecrusher and Rudduck are very underated for too many people.

    Ruddock was a murderous puncher, you could make the case for him being among the most devastating of all time purely on power. Never thought much of Bonecrusher, certainly not enough to be rated above the likes of Foreman, Tua, or Shavers, or even guys like Lewis, Liston, Louis, etc.

    Well that's how I see it, sorry if it bothers you. Crusher hit very hard and so did Rudduck. Both of them hurt Tyson with bombs, Crusher rocked Tyson in the 12th and till this day Tyson says Rudduck was the hardest whoever hit him.

    I would put shavers and foreman in the top 2 and probably give a slight edge to big George considering he was still koing good opposition in his 40s. Lennox Lewis' right hand was pretty devastating too.

    George Foreman, and if we're talking current then it's Wlad, although he doesn't show it very often.

    What about frank bruno in his autobiography i think it mentions that he hit harder than tyson and a few others have mentioned it before as well. Just that he never utilised it.
