I dont care what some machine registers.
If a Freakin fighter fights two guys and says one guy hits harder than the other, thats the opinion to go with period.
A fighter never forgets who it is that clocked him the hardest.
It may even be in the gym, and sometimes the fighter doesnt even want to admit it.
I can remember the hardest punch I was ever hit with and it was in the gym.
A body shot by a lighheavyweight named Henry Sims.
A rib on the left side still protrudes.
I can still feel it . Unreal.

God damn right

Oliver McCall said he wouldn't put Tyson in his top 5 punchers hes been in the ring with. And he said the hardest hitter he ever met was Smokin' Bert Cooper who hit him so hard it was "like being hit by a truck".

cooper certainly had holyfield wobbling all over the place.

And of course you don't always need brute strength to score KO's. Timing and accuracy are also so important. Just take a look at the great Jimmy Wilde. Tiny, tiny, frail looking guy but was a KO monster.
