The 1-10 is their rating in my opinion, but it is very close. I meant that every real heavyweight that I have sparred was a pain in the ass.
I have never sparred either brother, but I know lots of guys who have, and they all came back with bruises and stories. Btw, I'm not a Klit lover. Check my old post.
I think a person could understand Rahman not remembering how hard Lewis hit (and Oleg). He was sawing logs after getting clocked by both.
I've read another interview where Vitali said Sanders was the biggest puncher he faced, and that one of the punches felt "like my chest had caved in".
Yes it was me who spoke with Alex in Reno and he swore Holyfield hit far harder than anyone else he ever fought... Duncan has been a longtime friend of mine and i used to watch all of his sparring when he first arrived in Nevada. Duncan left a lot of sparring partners unwilling to work with him after the fact. Chris Byrd sparred a lot with Duncan before his fight in Germany with Wlad, he testified that Duncan was like a truck and would litterally kill you in there if you let him. Friday Ahunanya and i talk a lot about power and other fighters and he always says the same about Duncan... I used to see Rob in Toccos, he is an ok guy , he sparred a few times with Friday too... When he says they are murderous hitters , beleive what he says, they don't play games.. Duncan was a Power lifter as a very young man, but never recreationally lifted weights.. He has a couple of degrees from UNLV.. i spoke to him last year.. he also has the largest Mastiff dog u ever saw , its called ZURI. and is about 220 lbs..
many big time hitting heavyweights purposely dont hit their hardest during most stagez of sparring tyson early in hiz career waz chewed out big time for going at his sparring partnerz too hard too fast and ended up toning it way down when his trainerz told him he could start making the callz trying to line up more sparring partnerz after too many of them stopped showing up the next day my point is that itz very INACCURATELY to GAUGE a boxerz power compared to another boxerz power by using the POINTz of PERCEPTION from anyone single individual as there are so many reasonz why he may personally feel one guy hit harder then another letz take that alex stewart comment about holyfield (never heard that myself just trusting the dude that brought it up earlier in this thread) if holyfield waz TIMING alex really well and clubbing him bang on the button with hiz POWER and if tyson waznt TIMING alex as well and clubbing him not quite on the button alex could come away with the impression that holyfield hit him HARDER then tyson did personally i feel duncan could of been a better heavywieght if he would have worked on more thingz in sparring then focusing too much on throwing his very heavy leather with most of his shotz
