    I bet that shot for shot hassim rahman had more power than Joe Louis. It is not a crazy thing. For example morrison was rated as harder puncher than Tyson by every single guy that fought both them and obviously Tyson was the better fighter/puncher overall but Morrison did hit harder.

    That is good enough for me.

    Or because Archie Moore was a good heavyweight fighter.
    Nobody compares him to Lyle here.

    I think the fact that your going back to an amateur knockdown Tua received off Savon, proves to me your in denial his chin was granite. I would say Rachman clearly had more power in his right hand than either, especially Marciano. Rocky ground you down with fitness/toughness and a good punch, he wasn't a ko artist, Baer had more in his right than Rocky, maybe a better delivery than Rachman, but in terms of weight/power I think HR maybe heavier again

    Yes .I also know Valdes was the end of year number one contender for 1953 and 1954, no2 in 53 was Charles,no2 in 54 was Cokkell.

    To employ your logic If I beat you,there is no need for me to fight any of the guys you have beaten,because the results would be foregone conclusions in my favour.
    Parker beat Ruiz,how did he do with Joshua? How did Ruiz do with Joshua?
    Norton beat Ali ,how did he do with Foreman, and how did Foreman do with Ali? Ali v Frazier=Frazier v Foreman
    And so on, and so on, ad infinitum.
    Anyone who has the slightest idea about boxing knows head to head does not work like that!

    Nope, he lost to Moore then beat Charles in August 1953 which made him the number one contender but who got the title shot? Valdes beat two men who got title shots with Rocky, one of them twice.
    He also beat two others who got title shots with Patterson.

    I agree mate, I have no doubt Morrison could bang with that left hook as hard as anyone and harder than reputed bangers, it was quicker than Tyson's to, could double it up from body to head wickedly
