I your opinion, who hits harder?

Foreman or Liston?

Mcclellan or Jackson?

Hearns or Robinson?

It's not based strictly on pure punching power but also the overall punching skills, combinations etc.... I'll post my thought later...

In raw power?

Foreman over Liston.

McClellan over Jackson.

Hearns over Robinson.

But... Liston, Jackson and Robinson were more accurate than their formers.

Liston was more explosive. Foreman was a clubber.

Jackson over Gerald

I actually think Liston hit harder then Foreman, but Foreman went for the early knockouts, while Liston usually preferred to box and let the knockout come. But when guys got nailed by a Liston left hook, they went down. Foreman usually clubbed guys around the ring until they just packed it in.

Jackson over Gerald-both great hitters but Jackson was a freak of nature

Heanrs-Robinson-tough, I'll edge Hearns as the harder one-punch guy.

Foreman but not as Accurate as Liston

I'd say Jackson but I'm not as willing to bet the house on this one.

I'd say Hearns on a "one punch" basis. But Robinsons Combo's would be the greater threat to any fighter.

Foreman over Liston, Hearns over Robinson, As far as Jackson Mclelan its a tough call but I do have a prespective on Mclellans power. In 1989 he scored a !st round K.O over a guy. In that fighters next fight I fought him to a draw. It was a war and I didnt come close to rockin the guy. I thought he had a helluva chin. So.... I guess Gerald punched real good.Or maybe I couldnt. Oh well.

Mike Tyson had the speed and power with those hooks

Great analysis. I agree completely.

Tyson probably has the best combination of speed & power in HW history.

Joe Louis hit as hard and was faster.
