Michael Moorer claimed David Tua hit harder than George Foreman. Who punched harder in your opinion?

No he does not want to give George credit,very bitter if you listen to him

 

What kind of a question is this? Tua was a good puncher particularly with the left hook but Foreman was one of the hardest punchers in history

 

They both blasted him out with one punch. He probably doesn't remember either ko. At least he didn't go the route of some and pick someone he survived as hardest puncher.

 

Also entirely possible man-

 

Foreman’s cross armed defense was actually pretty good. It’s one of the main things that enabled him to be successful in his comeback.

 

I voted Foreman

But, what really stood out was the hardest puncher. Mr Wlad. ---- Goes to show how underated he is.

 

Wlad is definitely in contention for hardest puncher ... And he might actually be overall #1 in power.

 

He was something special the power he had. He was so unlucky to meet an heavyweight champion with the chin and heart of Muhammad.

 

It's as if Moorer remembers how hard George Foreman punches

Simple answer is when u get old in boxing everyone hits harder. U just can’t take the punches like u could when u were younger…old foreman was a freak and an exception not the rule

 

Briggs, Vitali, McCall, Holmes….

 

For some reason he looked completely asleep from the Tua ko, which means Tua hit harder, whereas he simply looked plastered and couldn't beat the count vs Foreman. BUT Tua hit him square with 4 or so punches, while Foreman didn't tee off many; just one shot. I'm going with what Michael Moorer said.

 

Prefectly put, completely agree.

I agree with this too, but you have to understand that he's describing what he experienced.
Like I said on many posts, and Holyfield himself said it, when you ask a boxer who hit him the hardest, he's gonna answer who hit him the hardest. That doesn't mean the guy who hit him the hardest also has the biggest punch, it just mean he's the one who managed to land the hardest.
That is why I've always said that if could somehow have a time machine and bring all the boxers and put them to hit a punching machine with everything they've got, many unknowns would rank very high. Problem is, it's not that easy to apply that power effectively in a match.

 

His legs wouldn’t have been the same in the middle rounds as compared to two seconds into the fight. He also ate some right hands from Foreman.

 

Yes you can see a youtube video when he is ANGRY at suggestions that George was even implementing a successful strategy to move Moorer into his right hand.
He was also bitter than folks gave Teddy Atlas more credit than him when you likely recall he was haranguing him to fight harder & even took his seat in the corner in another battle...

Although I do not think Foreman lost a lot of power by then, I think Tua could hit at least a little harder than Foreman...When he was almost 46 years old!
