Rank these HW punchers: Liston, Tyson, Foreman, Shavers, Wilder, Tua, Lewis, Klitschko, Louis

Glad u brought up Lewis. He is a prime example of what i'm talking about! Top champion who got KO'ed twice by lesser opponents!

 

I would favour McCall and Rahman against Wilder.
McCall would walk right through Deonkey's shots and brutally KO him.

 

Foreman 1st...toss up between the others..

 

You need to look at actual sources as well,and I mean top of the line.

Freddy Roach and E.Steward claim Wlad hits hardest out of the HW's they worked with. People will write these guys off bc they choose to, you need an eagle eye and really be a power puncher yourself with unbiased agendas watching hundereds of hrs of video to reall determine this .

In the end its the actual fights that tell who hits hardest through skill/ opponents quality and size really has to come in to play when k.o percentages decrease by weight ,this is a fact..its how weight classes were evolved . Very hard to balance but you have to mash them all up and configure it all ,most importantly you have to know how a hard punch is generated and most don't .

 

There are diminishing returns in power above a certain size,
That is why those who throw or hit a ball the furthest are often not that big.
Like the best hitters in lower divisions striking much harder than their weight-& giving diminishing returns-it is possible Shavers hit the hardest. But also maybe he did not.

Your bias is betrayed by calling Frazier "a fat LHW".
When in shape like vs. Foster or in FOTC, IF modern day, day before weigh ins were allowed, he could have easily made CW. But not lost 30 lbs. to make LHW. These types of falsehoods erode credibility.

 

Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho AJs resume is way ahead of Wilders
