Question:

All-around/Overall hardest hitters?

by  |  earlier

0 LIKES UnLike

Fighter "A" has a killer left hook (example-Joe Frazier) And fighter "B" has a tremendous KO right hand (example- Max Baer)

What i'm refering to is, fighters with deadly power in BOTH hands, from ANY ANGLE, and whether to head OR body.(The elite power punchers.)

One's first in my mind are (In no order.) Jack Dempsey - Bob Fitzsimmons - Jimmy Wilde - Stanely ketchel. Your thoughts?

  2. ur right... max baer in my opinion was underrated but had a killer punch... modern days i would have to go with iron mike during his prime... George foreman was a wild hard hitter... Boxing is now 80% show and 20% strategy u really dont see first round ko as often as before.

  3. Joe Louis was without a doubt the hardest hitter pound for pound, ring magazine even placed him at #1

  4. Jack Dempsey

    Joe Louis

    Sonny Liston

    Rocky Marciano

    George Foreman

    Mike Tyson

    Evander Holyfield

    Lennox Lewis

    Bernard Hopkins

  5. me !!!

  6. gerald mcclellan, tommy hearns, lennox lewis, mike tyson all could hit with either hand with force.

  7. I am amazed nobody listed Rocky Marciano.  Based on the six of Ketchel's teeth they removed from Jack Johnson's glove, Jack should be listed as well.  I'd add Sandy Sadler and Manny Pacquiao for the little guys along with my favorite little man Michael Carbajal.  No list of heavy punchers would be complete without Julio Cesar Chavez and Jose Luis Ramirez, the punch Ramirez hit Camacho with caused Hector to run for the next ten years.  Ray Leonard gets an honorable mention for his KO of Hearns, Rays power was always underestimated, Leonard hit a lot harder than people give him credit for.
