Seriously who hits harder Foreman, Wilder, Tyson, Shavers, Wlad, or Lewis

Dustin "Worm" Nichols

 

Impossible to say really.

Even if you're a boxer who got KO'd by all of them, it's not sure you can tell which one of them actually hit the hardest.
It's the different types of power and the way and where they hit you, which can be a huge difference.
There has to be a large number of guys that took these shots from them (poor dudes) to really come up with a chart for it.

I think Shavers due to his lack of mass would be the P4P hardest hitter of this group, just going by the number of people that said he hit extremely hard and his very low weight. He'd probably be a LHW nowadays.

 

Hope when the Real King Kong gets Beyoncé Wilder hurt this time in the rematch he finishes the job!!!

Then if Fury gets KO'd before the year is up it'll make for a perfect year!! Maybe then all the hype-jobs will fight each other rather than fight Butterbean opponents like they're defending their King of the 4 Rounder Championship ...

 

Just say it man! Who were the 4? Fury? He lost that fight but he did drop Fury twice. Ortiz? He was in serious trouble but he stopped Ortiz. Who else? Stiverne? Stiverne went the distance once and was stopped once. Molina, Breazele, etcetera... who cares about those guys? Anyway, Wilder can punch. He is right up there with those guys. If I have to pick I am picking Foreman.

 

Light Heavy? No way! Maybe he'd fight at Cruiser a little bit but eventually he would move to Heavyweight. A prime Shavers stood 6'1" (some sources say 6') with a 79" reach. He was 209-211 solid Lbs. in his fights vs. Jimmy Young x2, Muhammad Ali, Larry Holmes x2, and Ken Norton.

 

There's only one way to find out.

Get the five of them together, and ask each of them to punch you in the face, one after the other.

 

Oh man, I always thought he was like 185-190lbs or thereabout. Nevermind!

 

I think Wilder's right hand is on par with the all-time great HW punches. One problem with that statement, though, is that he relies so heavily on that punch that you get to see in action frequently.

Put another way, suppose Tyson was primarily a right uppercut fighter and lacked a diverse arsenal. We might be comparing Wilder's right hand to Tyson's uppercut, but instead we might say Wilder has better one shot power because he lacks Tyson's repertoire. If Wilder had more KOs from his left hook like some of the other greats, his right hand wouldn't stand out as much.

 

Thought everyone would know. Fury, Ortiz and Stiverne.

 

Tier 1: Foreman > Lewis > Tyson
Tier 2: Wlad/Shavers
Tier 3 Wilder.

Going by level of competition, proven stoppages, how they stopped opponents and the condition opponents were left in.

I believe Foreman and Lewis had more thudding power than Tyson. I have Wlad and Shavers equal, both very heavy hitters but just below Foreman, Lewis and Tyson.

Wilder is last because he's only stopped one higher level opponent of note (Ortiz), everyone else that he has stopped had pretty much already been stopped previously (and don't give me Washington either as he was a KO waiting to happen). Also a more in shape Stiverne stood up to all of Wilder's shots in the first fight (the second fight he was basically a lump going in so that can really be discounted). A big hitter no doubt, but it's not anywhere near proven he's a hitter like the other 5.

 

"Thought everyone would know. Fury, Ortiz and Stiverne."

Yeah, I know... but Stiverne ain't sh!t, never really was. When he kinda was... he went 12 rounds with Wilder. So Ortiz would be the only one he stopped.

 

I'd have to go with this/

The sheer emotion and bad intentions Tyson threw behind his punches, along with putting all of his entire brutish body weight behind it, is frightening

 

If we are strictly talking overall who knows but Julian Jackson is up there in my p4p rankings. Guy hit like heavyweight truck.

 

Sonny Liston punched harder than all of them except Shavers.

 

In terms of controlled power it's Wlad for me, just above Foreman then Tyson then Lewis.

Wilder certainly has power but it's wild , uncontrolled and leaves him clearly open to counters.
