    Hardest?Baer then Marciano then louis then dempsey then Patterson.


    Most dangerous punch 4 punchbecause of accuracy and speed)
    Dempsey Louis and Patterson all had alot of snap and handspeed and could put you on your back with a shot you didnt see.
    Baer and Marciano were blunt force trauma type bludgeoning hitters

    I think Cecil has it about right.

    Baer hit really hard ... his technique was caca.

    Louis didn't have the sheer impact of the monster punchers ... but he had the accuracy, the speed and the combinations to really switch off your lights.

    I dunno where youse guy get yer **** from. Honestly it's so alien and so far off base half the time I feel like the forum is ****ing with me. The only reason I believe youse believe this nonsense is because I do not believe I am important enough to anyone to be ****ed with by a whole forum.

    That said, I'd hear your explanation if you'd provide them, but in the meantime I'm just going to post some easy to digest physics. I do not mean this condescendingly, I'm just trying to understand how youse arrive at your opinion and explain how I do mine.
