    Some quotes about big punchers:
    Earnie Shavers hit me, man, and knocked me face down on the canvas. I was in the land of make believe. I heard saxophones, trombones. I saw little blue rats, and they were all smoking cigars and drinking whisky. James Tillis
    Jack Dempsey hits like an epileptic pile-driver. Harry Witwert
    Larry Holmes doesn't hit as hard as Earnie Shavers. Nobody hits like Shavers. If anybody hit harder than Shavers, I'd shoot him. Tex Cobb
    On being hit by Joe Louis - It's like someone jammed an electric light bulb in your face, and busted it. I thought half my head was blowed off... When he knocked me down I could have stayed there for three weeks. James Braddock
    Rocky Marciano didn't know enough boxing to know what a feint was. He never tried to out-guess you. He just kept trying to knock your brains out. Archie Moore

    Lou nova after his fight with Max Baer.." I could literally feel something move in my head when I moved it, if I turned it to one side I could feel it move the same way. That right hand from Baer is brutal.."

    byrd on wladimir and vitali:
    on vitali: he is a strong puncher, if he gets too you it's a heavy blow, but not like you are getting dazzed or a hurt, it's like you whole face is burning and it's hurting and you don't want to get hit again, but he hits you all time with the same power and you face is hurting like hell.
    on wladimir: he is in a complete different league, you don't want to get hit by one punch, because it could finish you, it's like someone punching you with a big bag of cement

    "I was on my face. I heard the count from one to 10. I kept telling myself that I had to get up, but I couldn't move. I couldn't make myself move. It was the strangest feeling. "
    -Rex Layne after being knocked out by a single Marciano overhand right.

    Wyane McCullough: "Hameds power is over-rated, it's a myth"

    after round one

    "He hits like a ****ing horse!!"

    although it was interesting that when asked who his hardest hitting opponent was, McCullough said Morales
