Muhammad Ali vs Mike Tyson

Holyfield “rocking” Foreman means nothing. If Holyfield hit harder he would have knocked out more of his competition. He wasn’t feather fisted by any means I just don’t think he hit as hard as Ali...if anything maybe it’s even but Ali still had him on speed and strength anyway.

 

You forgot Max Baer.

 

Are you for real ?! Ali was a powder puff puncher. There are middleweights that probably hit harder than him.

 

Not worth debating IMO Ali stops him late

 

I’ll just say he had a 60 percent KO rate against the best lineup of fighters anyone’s ever faced...hardly powder puff.

 

Most of those were TKO's, basically stoppages due to accumulated punches. Ali never possessed 1 punch KO power.
Plus over 70% of his opponents were smaller men, some would be cruiserweights by today's standards.
When you talk about punchers in HW boxing, you talk about the likes of Liston, Foreman, Tyson, the Klitschko brothers, Louis, Lewis, Morrison, Tua, etc. Ali is never in that conversation.
