    To me the answer is fairly obvious, but there's some small disagreement here in less rarified quarters. Can we have a poll?

    in the end it will always be subjective guessing. which is why i never post in classic. it is all subjective.

    I could break it down, referring to stance, weight of the puncher, weight of the opponents and reputation of the opponents for durability, showing that it's not just subjective opinion. But let's not spoil the threadby prejudicing the voters.

    I notice that you haven't voted yet :)

    Louis and it ain't really close. How many true HWs has KANvolev one-punch KO'ed?

    Nope, not a joke. Somebody really did think that there was doubt as to who hit harder, and I thought a quick poll would be apropos. ;)

    I don't see how you would make a case for Kovalev.

    Kovalev probably hit harder than Louis neighbor, Sugar Ray Robinson.....

    P.S.
    Louis and Robinson were neighbors at one time. They stayed a few doors down from one another in Detroit. Robinson credited Louis for getting him into the sweet science.
