    Thank you for you inquiry. Sanders hit harder with the left and Shavers with the right.

    Truly yours,

    Since when has Corrie Sanders ever been known to be a hall of fame puncher ? This is new ?:huh
     
  7. Sanders is not an ATG KO artist. Didnt hit half as hard as Shavers of Foreman but still managed to KO Wlad and rock the **** out of Vitali. Imagine what Foreman and Shavers would do to them!

    Sanders had one of the most devastating left hands in boxing.

    He is #10 on Ring Magazine's list of 100 greatest punchers of all time.


    Where the **** is Corrie Sanders ? Really stfu already with this nonsense !!! This will not make the Klits all time great by pretending that Corrie The Pro Golfer Sanders can be compared in punching power to the likes of Ernie Shavers !! :bart

    :yep

    I do think that Corrie's straight left > Earnie's left hook. (but Tua's left hook > Sanders' straight left)

    Shavers' right > anything.

    Shavers although as some posters pointed out i think left hand for left hand Sanders hit harder but a Shavers right hand>all.

    I do think Shavers power gets overrated though and by that i mean i do think he might have hit the hardest of all time but people sometimes make it out like even a light touch would end any fighter.

    I think someone with this mythical bonecrushing power would have put down Holmes for the count when he gets full leverage on a right hand.
    Now Holmes had a really good chin and recovered quickly but still.

    P4P i think Julian Jackson hit harder tbh, especially 2 handed power.

    I might get **** for it but i think Foreman and Wlad are at least in the same ballpark when it comes to 1 punch power.

    Wow you are critical :lol:

    75 Wins (69 KO'S) And you think his power is overratted ..:huh

    And because he didn't put down hall of famer Larry Holmes you still question his power after admitting he had a chin ?:think

    Once again please take what i said into context.
    I DO think he was probably the hardest hitter of all time, im just saying his power sometimes gets so inflated to superhuman proportions.

    I also acknowledged the greatness of Holmes including very good chin and recuperative powers.
    But i do think someone with such superhuman power getting full leverage on his money punch would put down Holmes for the count.

    So once again i do think he was the hardest hitter but over time people have started inflating his power to mythical proportions which i don't think is entirely accurate.

    Just my opinion though i knew i would get **** for voicing it.
    I just think p4p someone like Jackson got a lot more effect for visibly lesser effort, and seemed to be even more naturally heavy handed to me.
