You gotta be kidding putting Naseem in the same breath as Tyson. He was very good, but not in Tyson's league. Tyson was a small heavy weight rocking guys that outweighed him by 40 lbs+

With two lumps growing on his head like horns, the just-knocked-out-and-revived Larry Holmes said that Shavers hit harder than Tyson. I believe him.

What Tyson had was accuracy and explosiveness like no other heavyweight I've seen.

Tyson is no doubt one of the best power punchers ever, but the BEST is David Tua.

And yes, Tua would've beaten Tyson in his prime. Tua handled Holyfield during their sparring sessions in prepartion for Tyson.

Don't make me laugh!

NO WAY would Tua have beaten Tyson in his prime. Tyson was on another whole different level, in terms of skill, fitness, aggressiveness, and ruthlessness. Tua packed a strong punch for sure, and he has a thick Samoan skull which makes him hard to knock out. But he is nowhere near the class of Tyson in his prime.

PS - I have seen both of them in action, and actually met both of them. Both are actually really nice guys.

Tua fought much better competiton and beat better competiton.

Hasim Rahman, Michael Moorer, Fres Oquendo, Chris Byrd, Ike Ibeabuchi, Oleg Maskaev, David Izon, John Ruiz.

They share a common opponent in Lewis and Tua did much better considering he fought with several broken ribs.

Probably the strongest puncher ever recorded, ca. 1985 by Ivan Drago (2000+psi)

Che, have you read the book "War, baby"? It's all about Benn v McCllellen and the aftermath of the fight - it doesn't paint Gerald in the best light.

Archie Moore's record of 131 ko's deffo puts him in the running.

Sad to see now. After Cus died he started falling apart and Don King stepped in to take his money. Tyson is still a child at mind and heart.

I saw him on Oprah the other day crying his fucking eyes out every two seconds trying to explain his failed marriages and "supposed" rape charges....

If we're talking punching power and nothing more, then Fedor Emelianenko is probably the hardest puncher ever. Technically, his stand-up sucks, but his raw power is sick.

Yeah when you're a noob to MMA it looks like a brawl doesn't it?

Tyson was good, but be dodged Lennox Lewis in his prime and never saw the best of what the communist east had to offer.

I'm not a noob, boob. Fedor throws looping haymakers because MMA fighters can get away with stupid sloppy shit like that because they aren't technically sound. Putting Fedor and tyson in the same breath is ludicrous

His unorthodox style draws from sambo. You can't seem to make the distinction that they are separate sports.

Sure it does. I don't care if it draws from your ass. If you think Fedor is as hard a hitter as Tyson you need to get your eyes checked.
