Hardest puncher ever?

[canonbowl]

I saw Ernie Shavers make Ali sleepy with a jab . Confirm it for yourself . Find a tape of the Ali Shavers fight . You also have to take size into consideration . Marciano used to hit guys on the arms and they could barely hold them up after the fight . Dempsey weighed about 185 and regularly KO'd guys that weighed 260 . Foreman could hit hard but he wound up from left field . These other guys I mentioned threw 6 to 12 inch punches . Oh yes , did I forget to mention Tyson .

Id have to say Earnie Shavers. I really dont come from that era but I hear many fighters say Earnie was the hardest hitter ever.

So id go with Shavers.

I would have to put Shannon Briggs near the top of this list.

Tyson in his prime would be the scariest man on the planet!
