  1. it is not the same information , plus he said " bruno and foreman did the test and bruno did hit harder" it is a lie. No article, no proof on it. And no expert say "bruno hit even as hard as foreman"

    This is the correct answer in my opinion. If they both hit a punch-o-meter I'd think Lewis has the more powerful punch but the speed & delivery of Tyson's punches probably equals it out. I voted for "equal"

    All this points to the obvious, which that for the most part it boils down to opinion. Certainly in the higher eshleons of power would be

    Shavers, Foreman, Lewis and Tyson, but where they rank relative to each other is mostly a matter of speculation.

    What's funny is the fighters who have often been KO'd by one of these fighters, often pick other fighters who they were able to go the distance with as those who hit the hardest. So there really is not possible way to come to any clear consensus. It's also possible that a particular fighter many have been hit multiple times by one fighter and only once by another, and simply not have factored that into his thought process when answering the question of who hit him the hardest. But I do think it's safe to say it's likely fairly close between these four as which of them hit the hardest and which of them hit the least hardest.

    I don't even think that punching into some kind of pressure meter means all that much either, since when it comes to boxing it's usually the punch you don't see that causes the most damage, and how does a machine measure something like that? Or the fact a particular fighter may be coming forward when hit verses a machine which is just stationary. So unless the degrees of difference are huge and significant from a scientific viewpoint, it's still somewhat subjective and meaningless.
