Who hit harder, Vitali, Wlad, Lewis or Bowe?

Lewis
Wlad
Bowe
Vitali

 

Lewis,
vitali,
wlad,

Lewis
Wlad

Tossup between Vitali and Bowe

 

Wlad
Lewis
Vitali / Bowe pretty close.

I'd say that Bowe > Vitali overall for pure power on his punches but Vitali was much more accurate and usually didn't sit down on his shots as much.

 

I'll probably go with this order, though they all hit pretty damn hard.

 

One shot power

Wlad
Lewis
Vitali
Bowe

Power in the later rounds ( 8-12 ) to score stoppages

Wlad
Vitali
Lewis
Bowe

 

This seems about right.

 

It's a pointless question. These guys were experts at knocking out good fighters at the highest level. So Each are about as effective as each other.

All of them knock you out. You are no less knocked out if it was by one or the other.

Punching a machine to record force bares no relation to being able to replicate this in a ring. Far less than maximum force will knock a man out anyway.

Who appeared to hit opponents harder? The answer is they all hit hard enough.

Perhaps the way to word it might be who was the "better puncher" rather than "harder puncher".

 

Lewis
Wlad
Vitali
Bowe

 

This!

 

Bowe
Lewis
Wlad
Vitali

Thats based on anecdotal evidence that cannot be disputed.

LOL at Povtkin walking head first into Lewis and Bowe for 12 whole rounds non stop:nut

 

How many times did Vitali knock down Briggs again?? atsch:tired

It's close between Lewis and Wlad, both had obvious one shot power but it's different depending upon each punch. Wlad has the harder left hook, but Lewis had the much harder uppercut, right hands are comparable, Wlad's had more snap while Lewis' had more leverage and force.

 

If the evidence is anecdotal it is disputed otherwise it would be empirical.
