    I'm not sure that's true .. Morrison seemed pretty dangerous, power wise, all fight .. his liability was his chin ... that being said Vitali did not possess the same level power with either hand ..

    You felt that the question of who hit harder, Tommy Morrison or Vitali Klitschko warranted a thread? Really?

    Who cares who hit harder?? If they ever fought there'd be only now winner, as much as I like Tommy it definitely wouldn't be him.

    Did you Watch the Sanders stoppage? Corrie was still standing, looking unhurt, just overpummeled, its not a ko, when the man is still standing looking clear in the eyes...Vitalis only clean ko at top level was against Hide, his opposition was weak, and at the end handpicked, even here he couldnt put his man Down, Briggs, Chisora, and the turkish guy...

    He was the only man to ever KO Larry Donald. Riddick Bowe couldn't come close to doing in his fight with Donald or even so much as stagger him with two clean sucker punches at the pre fight press conference.

    To answer OP I would say Vitali has an edge in power despite what some fights would suggest. Vitali was for the most part a pot shotter who threw arm punches while Morrison always loaded up with his punches. Vitali with his bigger frame could generate more power.

    vits 'could' generate more power with his bigger frame, but he wasn't capapble of doing it. Hes never worked out the nous to do that.

    Vits is dangerous because of his size and good chin, but hes not a very good boxer, hes merely fairly good and hasn't worked out yet (even in retirement) how to maximise his size advantage.

    Wlad is the better boxer of the two and can land pretty well (although he never does until his handpicked early gassing fatboy opponent is safely gassed out).

    The Vitali klitschko-Donald ko was nothing to do with extreme power.
    Otherwise who's Donald. A ****ing nobody without good win .
    He beat an old and tired Holyfield.Donald was a crap featherfisted
    and maybe a cherrypicker loser.:lol:

    Good point, but the blind naive Klitnuthuggers is not capable of seeing logic...
