Mirovic said that john hopoate hit harder than tyson.

Mirovic and Mavrovich are two different boxers. atsch

Mirovic has fought a lot of boxers and been a chief sparring partner for Tyson.

 

Lewis had monstrous power-especially in his overhand right.

Foreman was lighter,but was abnormally muscled in his hips and lats.He also had a heavy bone structure.

 

It depends.Roach seemed to be training Tyson at the end of his career,when he had lost a bit of his speed and power.

BTW I've never heard of Tyson's power ever being measured.
I recall that Bruno once was tested though.

 

their isnt as much of a diff between them as their is between wlad and tyson. Tyson is like 5 10 and 205-210 prime, Wlad is 6'6 and 240-250. Its obvious wlad is going to have more 1 punch power since both are rather athletic. But tyson is the better puncher, and would most likley beat him everytime they thought. And yes, weight and height are corelated to punching power.... Thats why we have weight classes :hey

 

My mistake, but you didn't spell the name right either. The fighter that fought Lewis is spelled Mavrovic.

Like I said before, who cares what this clown has to say. Most people don't even know who the guy is, I bet he wouldn't question Tyson's power without headgear and 16 oz gloves? He wouldn't have to worry about making money sparring, he would be on disability for the rest of his life.

 

More like 218 pounds.
No it's not obviously true that someone is the more powerful puncher because he was 30 pounds heavier.
Wlad could be though.

 

no its not always true... But generally height and weight do dictate a fighters power. Which is why most would say that a middle weight hits harder then a light weight generally

 

Probably.

How hard you can whale on the heavybag and how damaging a punch you can land on an professional opponent in the ring are slightly different though.

 

Just because your a 300 pound fat **** or musclehead, doesn't mean you can hit as hard as a trained professional at even 160. Weight matters, but you are taught in the gym how to put your punchers together and how get your weight behind the punch. Not to mention your technique in doing so, so you don't find yourself getting countered or injured by throwing a certain punch incorrectly.

I dont doubt Wlad hits harder than Tyson, but I could only remember one time over the last 5 years, him knocking out a oppenent with one punch, and that was against Calvin Brock in november of 06, since then it's been accumulation of punches that did his oppenents in. Wlad does not place his punches well, his straight right usually lands on the forehand or nose region of his oppenents, rarely ever catching his man on the chin. Now his hook seems to have better success, as will show in his knockout against Brock, the chicken dance he made Peter do from it, and his domination over Austin came from a series of hooks.

Tyson is probably the best all-around puncher the division has ever seen, but not the heaviest handed puncher.

 

True but lets say both are boxers of simalar skill, One is a 200 pound lean dude, the other is a 300 pounds monster. Same height, same natural power( if neither lifted weights). I think the guy whos 300 pounds will probobly hit harder. Even though a pick the guy who's 200 pounds to win by tko in 4 rounds. :good

 

Wlad nor Tyson were Roach's fighters when he made that statement.


And the powerpunching measurements were made back in England, between Tyson himself, Bruno, Ruddock and Foreman. Bruno apparently won and Tyson came in last. I can't find the article which I had referred classic- lounge members to in the past. But there was an article on it.

 

I hear what your saying buddy, but that depends on the person as well. I remember Tyson commentating a HBO fight back in 88-89, it was during a Julian Jackson fight. I recall him saying that Jackson had more one punch power than most of the heavyweights he fought up to that point. Jackson was probably fighting at 160 at that point in his career too, and most of Tyson's oppenents were at least 225. I know not every fighter is a freak puncher like Jackson, but there is such thing as having natural heavy hands, some guys have it, others dont.

 

The other 3 definitely had more raw power than Tyson.

As has been said before, Tyson didnt have the most RAW power. But he had very fast hands and threw in combination.

Similar to Pacquiao. They both have 8-9 level power, but their have fast hands and are fighting opponents that simply arent accustomed to speedster power punches.

The hardest punches are the ones your opponent cant prepare for.

Tyson knocked a shitload of guys out this way. He would come roaring the first round, his opponents simply couldnt handle his speed. They get caught flush with shots that came out of nowhere.
