Id add Shavers to Foreman, Lewis and Wlad... not 100% sure on Louis. Great great puncher but i think it was more based on accuracy and timing than pure power.
Wlad is an awesome puncher. Unlike his brother, he is a very technically proficient puncher. He's sharp, accurate, quick and throws good straight shots. It's a shame that he isn't as aggressive as he was a few years ago because that version of Wlad could have been one of the best offensive heavyweights of all-time, up there with prime Joe Louis and Mike Tyson, but, sadly, his chin didn't really allow him to fight that way. When Wlad puts his punches together, there are few better. Technically perfect and very hard.
Yes, vs fighters under 210lbs. Most of Foreman's best knockouts came against opponents under 200lbs. Wladimir is KOing true heavyweights not Cuisers/light-heavyweights....:good
Vitali may not punch as hard but he has a wider offense with more variation in his punches Wlad has a jab and a right and left hook that he ignores, he finished Peter in the second fight with like a barrage of left and right hook/uppercut like shots he used to be more aggressive but then again i dont think his opponents in the 90's and early 00's clammed up or went into survival mode as much as they do now, plus guys like Chambers Haye Ibragimov and Chagaev arent exactly easy to hit Vitali to me has a better offense just no where near as much power, he also hit way harder pre retirement
You could also argue that nobody with a chin like Haye's could survive against Foreman. A chin doesn't improve with weight either. The best chins in heavyweight history are all belonging to fighters who weren't huge.
Frazier was down ten times (only two less than socalled weak chined Wladimir), you call that tough?:yep
Who said you were my "mate" ******? Funny how you included (2) of my choices for the Top 5.................:rofl Until they invent a machine that measures the exact amount of power in a single punch like the machine in Rocky, it's all just speculation. Baer fought in an era where the gloves were very small & I'm certain that contributed to his power. Liston? Probably not even in the top 10 of single punch power all time.
