    So, if you were standing a mid ring and to each direction, North-East-West-South, stood The Rock, The Hobo King, The Grill Crusher and that Law Vegas coatcheck guy, and they all throw their best punch at the same time, which one is going to knock you out?

    And are the rest homosexuals?

    Serious replies only.

    Gotta say Shavers. He had more snap and better form than Foreman. Foreman would be the second hardest puncher in my book.

    The only people Rocky Marciano was/is knocking out are 180 pound fighters who were pushing 50. Dempey was a club fighter who was only a 180 pounds. Shavers was a one arm puncher who best wins were against a washed up Norton and a inexperienced Jimmy Young. George Foreman didn't have great technique but I believe his single shot punches were harder than Shavers.

    Finally someone asking the real questions! This will take some thought.

    If they all punched me at once from equal distances apart my head would explode. The only question to ask is would it explode uniformly? That'd be the best way to sort out who, in fact, punched me the hardest. Or in Shavers's case, you could ask me for a quote afterwards.

    I'd duck ... and witness the first quadruple KO in heavyweight history.

    You think all four could beat up a Lion if they worked together and believed?

    Thats a false dichotomy. Either the guy can KO you in 1 punch or he's a homosexual? Is there no middle ground?
