    I think he can find 5 ok maybe 6 cases(Tua-Rahman 1 was a joke ko).This mission is hopeless.Ok i go with 5 remarkable kos by the BTPWB group.
    Maybe Tyson has more classic ONE PUNCH kos against top fighters.
    Otherwise this shows how crap the heavyweight division without
    Tyson.

    Everyone feasts on cans when they turn pro.

    The difference is guys like Tyson and Foreman carried on knocking people out even when they stepped up.

    Tua, Peter, Briggs, Butterbean never did.

    Wilder is 32-0, 5 year pro and the best name on his CV is Audley Harrison

    The difference is Tyson and Foreman were better all round fighters than the likes of Tua and co, nothing to do with hitting harder.

    well then its impossible to measure who hit harder.

    The fact of the matter is, Tyson was knocking people out even when he stepped, the others simply didnt.

    Tyson, Louis and Foreman are three of the greatest heavyweight punchers. Because they actually backed it up

    Just by looking at the effects punches have on opponents, be it against journeymen or champions is a good way to judge a fighters power.

    Those three were better fighters full stop, but let's be serious here if Tua hit the likes of Spinks, Schmeling and Frazier with his best shot they're definitely going down.

    reactions dont mean much especially if your opposition is poor, which is what Tuas was.

    He never kod anybody of note.

    Yes he caught a green Ruiz i give him that, Moorer was always glass jawed and past his prime.

    Ruiz had fought nearly 30 fights so was far from green, does your chin improve with experience or something because he was never taken out in that fashion ever again.

    That glass jawed Moorer was in far less trouble than your hero when he fought Holyfield and took repeated bombs off Foreman before finally getting knocked out.

    So basically Moorer has a better chin than Tyson now?

    Well the consensus is that he had a flawed chin. A light heavyweight who brought his power with him but left his chin behind.

    Didn't do bad in the division did he now? Took bombs off Holyfield and Foreman. Maybe he was knocked out by Tua because he was a lethal puncher???
