was Prime Tyson the hardest heavyweight puncher?.

Nope.

 

hard to say.

ive always thought foreman and shavers took that one, based on how tough their competition was. itd be nice if all boxers got their punch psi rated so this wouldnt even be a question.

 

No...you can make a case for Shavers and Foreman.

 

No.

 

Possibly the most explosive. I'm leaning towards yes.

 

no he could deffo bang but id put shavers and foreman above him

 

Definitely not. I don't usually make strong statements like that about things that are somewhat intangible, so you can be sure I am not going to change my mind here.

I have always felt that Tyson's raw power (this is separate from efficiency) was not what it was sometimes mistaken for.

Lewis is a better example of a power puncher, in my opinion.

 

doubt it...i think people were mostly scared of him thats all. it was in their mindset already that Tyson was going to KTTFO, but like others have said - Tyson was so explosive and strong as well, i'd say he was top 5, quite possibly top 3 AT...

 

He may well have been - it's hard to say.

 

I'd say yes too. Lets remember he's the only one to KO Holmes, something no other fighter has done, including Shavers.

 

Hell no

try foreman..

 

No Vitali was according to the WBC

 

No.

 

hes one of the best punchers ever, but not one of the hardest for single shot power. tyson was devastating because he was fast and ferocious(not so say he couldnt take u out with one punch on occasion).

morrison, shavers, ruddock, lewis, and prolly klits and foreman all had better power.
