Re: Which fighters said hit them the hardest ?
Richie Woodall interview.
Best Puncher
Keith Holmes: I could feel his power throughout that fight. There were problems in the build-up with my elbow and training that I’d missed but I felt more power from him than any other fighter.

I like it when fighters actually answer this question and don’t just say - my mum. We‘re interested in these things as fans, so kudos to the boxers who actually give a real answer

Unfortunately I can't remember who it was that hit him![]()

HW journeyman Eddie Gregg
Q: Was Cooney the hardest puncher you ever met?
E.G: No. Cooney was a good puncher, no doubt, but the hardest puncher ever, I met in sparring; that was Ron Lyle. I sparred Lyle during the early part of my pro career, we went about five-rounds – and it was hard.”

Wimpy Halstead told me Buster Douglas hit him the hardest of anyone he faced. Quite the compliment considering Wimpy fought plenty of heavy hitters.

I interviewed him on ATGRADIO, and have him on Facebook. He's a really easy going, cool guy. Very personable.

I just read an interview with Jack O'Halloran and he said the hardest he was ever hit was by Cleveland Williams.

British HW Richard Towers said he has sparred with Dillian Whyte, Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder, Anthony Joshua and both Klitschko brothers. The hardest puncher of all was Wilder in his opinion.
Re: Which fighters said hit them the hardest ?
Ron Lyle said in an interview that Shavers hit him so hard it was as if the canvas came up to meet him. Said Shavers was the hardest hitter.
Re: Which fighters said hit them the hardest ?
Chuvalo said getting hit by Frazier was like being hit by a Porche going 90 MPH
Getting hit by Foreman was like being hit by a Mac Truck doing 40 MPH

Pernell Whitaker interview
BEST PUNCHER
Julio Cesar Chavez: Everybody I’ve been in the ring with was considered a big puncher. The one who stands out the most would be Julio Cesar Chavez. I didn’t experience any big shots. I don’t like taking punches.

John H Strachey interview
BEST PUNCHER
Napoles: When I boxed Napoles, he put me down in the first round. He switched, I thought he was going to throw a right hand and he came across with a left hook and I didn’t even see it coming. I went back on the ropes and he came through with a left hook that put me down. He was a hard puncher.

BEST PUNCHER
Lopez: The one who I felt was a great puncher was Juanma Lopez. He was the one who punched more and gave me the hardest punches. His punches were powerful.

Emanuel Augustus interview
BEST PUNCHER
Provodnikov: Everything he hit me with hurt. Some guys you can block and some you better just make miss. It’s like he had bad intentions on everything. Even his jab hurt.

Wladimir Klitschko interview
BEST PUNCHER
Corrie Sanders: He was very fast and he had really powerful hands. I’ve been in boxing for 25 years and I never fought anybody in this game that punched like Corrie Sanders.

Lucien Bute interview
BEST PUNCHER
Alejandro Berrio: Very good puncher. With Andrade, he had a good chin, (he) was tough, but (he) was not a big puncher. I think the accumulation of the punches made you tired. Froch has a good punch, good power, but I think it was Berrio.

BEST PUNCHER
Victor Ortiz: This is the hardest puncher I’ve faced. He didn’t drop me three times in our fight for nothing. Yet, I knocked him out.

Re: Which fighters said hit them the hardest ?
Kevin Kelley interview
BEST PUNCHER – Goyo Vargas – He hit me so hard, he landed on my arm sometimes I could feel it in my bones. I told Floyd Mayweather when he was fighting him, I said, ‘I believe he’s the hardest puncher you’ll be in the ring with,’ and at that point in his career he said, ‘Yeah, I agree, this guy can really crack.’ Where he got the power from you couldn’t figure out. When he hits you couldn’t figure it out. He didn’t have muscle definition, he had this crazy punching power.
They all could punch but you said which one really caught my attention. Hamed could punch, Barrera could hit really hard, I thought Morales was OK [but] I didn’t think it was that great compared to Barrera. I fought some punchers and I think Goyo Vargas, when he hit you it was a little different. Punching power is a perception. I thought Hamed didn’t hit as hard as Goyo Vargas.
