@BoxingisgoatedBoxingisgo-sy7jyok? What does that change? Ali was scared to rematch foreman and almost got knocked out by shavers in their fight. Liston well. His style vs Ali’s style was just a nightmare for Liston.
@@vikinghoodbluelighthouse2911okay brother too much Ali wasn't scared to fight Frazier the only thing that stoped Frazier V/S Ali rematch was because after 2 or 3 fights he retired
For me, the two physically strongest boxers and boxers of all time and that by nature are Sonny Liston and George Foreman, unfortunately Sonny just let himself go in the second fight against Ali, a shame. Foreman showed in the 1976 fight against Ron Lyle that he also has heart and can take inhuman punishment. When he came back in the 90 ' no boxer had the power to knock Foreman down that chin was part of his cover , his punches coming so slow and ponderous for action , the heaviest hands ever . Had he had such nice smooth shots like Earnie Shavers who knows who knows. So for this reason Big George Foreman Antworten
Cleveland Williams and Ron Lyle deserve a shout out. Lyle came back from a knock down from one of Shavers bombs and knocked Earnie out. Almost KOd George too.
I was thinking Ron Lyle, myself. He gave George about all he could handle in one of the very few, toe to toe every round matches, George had to fight. George named Lyle as one of the three hardest hitters he had fought, along with Liston and Cooney, only sparring with Liston.
Earnie Shavers is the hardest hitter of all time. Testimonies by Ali, Norton, Lyle and Cobb all point out that they hit the hardest. Of course they might say this for fame and sorts. But Shavers knocked Lyle down with a hook in the third round, Foreman knocked Lyle down in the fourth but because he was more skilled. Foreman finished the job. Ali fought Liston but Liston only connected with a few jabs and hooks and just swung at air. Foreman mostly targeted at Ali’s body and had most of his head-punches dispelled. Shavers landed a massive overhand right on Ali that had him running around the ring. So Ali saying that he was the hardest puncher HE ever faced is true and utmost. But of course. Shavers couldn’t finish the job. And consider this. Wilder definitely hits hard. And has a 42 KO’s out of his 43 wins. But Shavers has 70 KO’s out of his 76 wins. That’s unbelievable. And you factor in Wilder has speed, Liston has skills and Foreman too with his amazing chin as well. You begin to wonder what Shavers has. Maybe good boxing fundamentals, is it size or is it heart? But whatever the case. He wasn’t as fast and athletic as Wilder, he wasn’t tough and skilled like Liston and Foreman. And yet, because of his crazy power. He won 76 out of his 91 bouts. And you know what’s scary? Unlike Wilder, most of Shaver’s knockouts and TKO’s aren’t even recorded. We literally only have a handful of footages, most of it losses and some wins. Just like Robinson in his prime, we could’ve watched murder after murder, seizures and unconscious bodies. But because of his lack of fame and most of it going to Ali and a few others. All of his wins aren’t even recorded. So unless somebody’s grandpa is a diehard Shavers fan who carries a camera to record his bouts. It’s not likely that most, if not all of Shavers KOs wouldn’t even surface. So that’s just my take.
Those who fought Liston and Foreman, said Liston hit harder. Ali wbo faced all of them, said the strongest is Shavers...so it goes In order Shavers Liston Foreman Foreman had the power to knock you off your feet and strength but the other two were more scientific and would cause worse damage. Liston and Foreman had granite chins, and were better all round boxers than Shavers. Shavers could take a punch better than given credit for or he wouldn't of gone many rounds with top fighters.
Yup’ everybody who fought Shavers say Shavers hit Harder than any boxer they went up against…..Even Larry Holmes who faced a Prime Iron Mike Tyson said that Shavers hit harder
@@torvilasulvstle362 if you think about, all the modern cruiserweights cut a lot of weight to get to the weight class, most of them are cutting 20lbs to get to cruiserweight, so ali,tyson and even george forman of the 70s are the same reach and height of 90% and weight of the modern crusierweights
@@torvilasulvstle362I don’t think Joe lousy could beat Ali in his prime but that doesn’t mean he wasn’t a heavyweight contender Ali fought much worse than him in his first run as champion and Louis would’ve been a good fight
Liston did have more power in both hands than Foreman and Shavers. He just used it differently including his left jab which was the hardest in HW history. Don't let his last fights with Dick Saddler mislead you on his KO ratio. He was more of a boxer than the other two and if he wanted to (Patterson, Williams and many other) he can end the fight in 1 or 2 round
Shavers may have had the hardest single punch but not the best delivery system. Honorable mention: Klitschko brothers, Marciano, Max Baer, Deontay Wilder, Joe Frazier, Joe Louis, Mike Tyson, Jack Dempsey.
Everyone talks about how hard liston hit in the mean time there are SEVERAL guys with Ko% at least 6 and more points Higher than him. My Hardest Hitters are Shavers, Foreman, Tyson, Marciano and Wilder with Liston about 6th. And of this group Tyson had the fastest hands by far. And Pound for Pound Marciano hit harder than all of them in terms of per body pound.
Thats cuz Sonny Liston didn't use his full power like the other guys. He was too careful, but he had potential more power than he gave. Shame we didnt see it he relied more on his left hand cuz he was southpaw originally
I agree these are the three hardest punchers ever . But P4P I would say Sam Langford who had more knockouts then both Foreman and Shavers put together with 138 ko's . Langford is rated by ring magazine as the 2nd greatest puncher of all times .
@@thomashightower7881 Foreman ( 68) and Shavers (68 ) which is 136 ? Nobody will ever know Sam Langford's true record its said by boxing historians that he was in over 600 fights 642 to be exact , but only half were recorded . The one's that were say his record is 214 - 46 - 44 with 138 ko's
The all time puncher was Marciano. Knocked the most men actually out cold (if we watch the knockouts, he was consistently sleeping men for over 10 seconds counting, often even up to 5 minutes. If you watch his knockout vs Walcott, walcott doesn’t even get up, the film just cuts while he’s sleeping.

If you look at Liston knock people out. You will immediately realize why MarCiano refused to fight him. And before any of you MarCiano men start crying. MarCiano Men start crying, he did not fight anyone. He refused to fight Liston, Ali, Williams, Statterfield, or Valdez. The funny part is, the great rock, could find the old used up men of the division. But never could seem to find any of the above. Why is that MarCiano men. Who did he fight?
He fought Jersey Joe Wellcot, I wouldn’t consider that an old man. And maybe the reason why you think he didn’t fight any good people is because he literally outshined all the people in his division in his prime. So maybe before stating such a bold statement you should do some research. Also I didn’t even know that much about Marciano until I watched a documentary a few days ago so you can’t claim I’m a “fanboy” of his, and that also proves that even with the slightest amount of research, you would see why your statement is incorrect. And sure maybe he didn’t fight a few people, almost every other boxer also did including Ali, Tyson and more
@@RetakeConstantinople Well Roscoe. How old was Walcott? Let me save you some time looking it up. He was 38 and 39 when the great rock fought him. Annnnnnnd, Walcott was never a great champion, he won just about 60% of his fights. MarCiano fought nobody, when you look at who he fought and when he fought them.
@@grandduke2145 Well thanks for that fun fact. Here’s another one Foreman was 45 and at his best when he became world champion again and I’d like to argue Walcott was also not too bad at that age. And as I previously stated he outshined almost everybody, he has fought plenty of young people in their prime and won. So let’s come to a fair conclusion shall we, Rocky was a great fighter however he was not the greatest? Not that I tried to state he was the greatest before, and like most boxers including Ali, Liston and Foreman, he avoided a few fights?
@@RetakeConstantinople Walcott hung around because the division was getting weak. Funny he could not win the championship when everyone was young and in their prime.
@@torvilasulvstle362foreman had GREAT wrestling and ring control in his prime. He would literally move his opponents to angles that he wanted them in. The only difference is that Ali used the same techniques. Only better and more effectively than foreman. If old and prime foreman were to clash prime foreman would make old foreman look like a terrible punching bag.
Ali beat all of them even shavers when he was not in his prime. I am sure shaver and foreman took something out of him but Ali was a beast to best all three.
@@brunch8051 undefeated with the highest ko ratio, so wilder has a slightly better KO ratio but isn't undefeated ........ yeh I probably should word it differently ........there has never been an undefeated heavyweight with a higher KO ratio than marciano
@@Respect12948if you don't know old classic fighters then you should learn about it. Rocky Marciano beats many great fighters such as Archie Moore, Ezzard Charles, Joe Louis And Jersey Joe Walcott. These boxers is better than Patterson, Frazier, Ron Lyle even Cus D Amato said Floyd Patterson had no chance against Rocky Marciano he knew his fighter can't beat him. Poor your mom and dad are passed away that's why you so dumb
I’d say shavers hit the hardest but was the worst fighter of the three still a legend tho Foreman was second. Much better technique and of the three could take the best punch. Liston while having the least power of the three is easily the most advanced technically
@@GiaNt_TaLOn Briggs did hit hard. No question about that. I just wouldn't put him in my top 10 punchers. Perhaps top 20 or 30 GOAT punchers, which is still pretty damn good.
I will never believe Ali beat Liston legit. Foreman should have creamed him if he didnt fall for the mind games & having Dick Sadler giving him bad advice
@basimali619 Dick Sadlet was in Foremans corner and after the fight left to work with Ali. He advised George to bomb away, which was the worst possible strategy If George didn't punch himself out in the African hear, he would have beat Ali 10/10 times. Bad coaching & weak mental prep from George
@@thegadflygang5381 Foreman lose to 32 year old Ali 10 out of 10 times no matter how Foreman fought Ali, him punching himself out against Ali is actually his BEST chance to get to Ali, if he had held back his attack and try to box more, he would have lost every single round and not even touched Ali at all, and still lose even more badly
Judging by what Foreman, Ali and others said unfortunately Liston shouldn't be on this list. Yes he was a devastating puncher but he wasn't an all time one punch killer like Shavers, Lyle, Foreman, Baer, Tua, Cooney, Williams etc etc.
@@Dempsey1873 Show me where Ali said that. Also Ali said the Frazier hit harder that Foreman. If you watch the rumble you can see that Foreman didn't really land a clean full power head shot on ali and he was out of gas and power by the 4th. Also Wepner said no one hit me like that. He was a bloody mess and a tko loss. Foreman banged him out quickly. Sometimes the person in the ring just doesn't get hit by a guys full power or doest remember the ko. Have you ever been knocked out in a boxing match? You don't remember anything 20 seconds before or after the punch that knocks you out and you certainly don't remember the force of the shot. Quarry never said Shavers hit the hardest. Ali never mentioned Lyle in his top punchers list.
@@FirstLast-vl1uyso true you cant rely on what fighters say on the spur of the moment ,I've heard Foreman say Cooney hit him just as hard as Lyle.but when you get ko- d you have your senses scrambled ,sometimes the effects last longer some dont remember the whole day before and after .They used to say Rocky had the biggest punch ,what about Joe Louis ?he used to be the hardest hitter
@@FirstLast-vl1uy You're basing it off the style of the fighter rather than the fighter themselves. Liston couldn't really land a clean headshot on Ali, nor was Liston a slugger like those mentioned. Sonny Liston threw his punches with good technique and never really let loose in the way George did even when you look at footage of both on the heavy bag Sonny just doesn't try and put all his power on display like George. What have Foreman, Ali and others said that takes him off this list? Everything that's been said about Sonny power wise has praised him and put him on the level of Foreman and Shavers. Liston knocked out all of Wayne Bethea's teeth out in the first round. The stories about Liston alone demonstrate phenomenal punching power and his performances in the ring say no different.
@@Dingzet the fights say it all, common knowledge is Tyson hits much harder than Liston. The guys Tyson wrecked easily Liston would struggle to knock down.
110% agree. just look at their Ko % its not even close. Did Liston hit hard ? no doubt but something like 25% of his oppenents went the distance vs him.
Some people cannot see the difference between raw power and power combined with speed and accuracy. Tyson was NOT one of the hardest one punch hitters and neither was Liston. Yes both hit insanely hard but there are many levels and different types of power. Tyson had snap + speed power and extremely high accuracy that created the illusion that he hit harder than he did. Liston had more raw weight and strength power and over all hit significantly harder than Tyson. When I'm explaining this to non combatants I like to use the analogy of bullet ballistics. A 45 is a large slow moving round with less penetration. It typically has more stopping power and does more direct surface damage and it does wider damage. A 357 magnum is smaller and much faster and does more internal damage. They are actually almost identical in overall effectiveness yet by different means. Tyson would of course be the 357 and Liston the 45. You can make the same analogy with Frazier - Foreman. Then one must add all the other attributes. Tyson had the greatest combination of power , speed , and accuracy in the history of the heavyweight division. He did not have one of the hardest single punches in history. Not even in the top ten. His other strong attributes even this out. Very few of the top fighters Tyson fought listed him as the hardest puncher they fought. It's also interesting and should be noted that Tyson avoided every single dangerous one punch power hitter his entire career with the exception of Ruddock meanwhile Liston destroyed Cleveland Williams who was listed by both Ali and Foreman as one of the hardest single punchers they were ever hit by
@@FirstLast-vl1uy I could buy that Tyson is not one of the top 3 hardest hitters ever but when you said NOT even top 10 you basically lost all crediability.
The most intimidating of them is Liston. The most terrifying knockout artist Foreman. The hardest puncher Shavers.
Too bad Liston was over the top when he met Ali. Still , Ali would have won.
Well put---perfect description of these 3 warriors.
Big Cat Cleveland Williams was another devastating puncher in his prime (pre shooting), right up there with the hardest hitters in HW history.

Also I didn’t even know that much about Marciano until I watched a documentary a few days ago so you can’t claim I’m a “fanboy” of his, and that also proves that even with the slightest amount of research, you would see why your statement is incorrect. And sure maybe he didn’t fight a few people, almost every other boxer also did including Ali, Tyson and more
@@RetakeConstantinople Well Roscoe. How old was Walcott? Let me save you some time looking it up. He was 38 and 39 when the great rock fought him. Annnnnnnd, Walcott was never a great champion, he won just about 60% of his fights. MarCiano fought nobody, when you look at who he fought and when he fought them.
@@grandduke2145 Well thanks for that fun fact. Here’s another one Foreman was 45 and at his best when he became world champion again and I’d like to argue Walcott was also not too bad at that age. And as I previously stated he outshined almost everybody, he has fought plenty of young people in their prime and won. So let’s come to a fair conclusion shall we, Rocky was a great fighter however he was not the greatest? Not that I tried to state he was the greatest before, and like most boxers including Ali, Liston and Foreman, he avoided a few fights?
@@RetakeConstantinopleForeman is an outlier
@@RetakeConstantinople Walcott hung around because the division was getting weak. Funny he could not win the championship when everyone was young and in their prime.
What about Ken korton
Ken could bang 💥 make no mistake... But in terms of brute power these three another level... 🎉
@@Plough78hard hitter but not quite as hard as these guys
He was more skilled than them tho and had much better body work
@@Respect12948 Yep, Norton's style a joy to watch...
Consider Ali was 4-0 against these beasts.
All those three were VERY hard hitters, but none master boxers.
Well, Foreman became clever in his comeback!
@@torvilasulvstle362foreman had GREAT wrestling and ring control in his prime. He would literally move his opponents to angles that he wanted them in. The only difference is that Ali used the same techniques. Only better and more effectively than foreman. If old and prime foreman were to clash prime foreman would make old foreman look like a terrible punching bag.
Agree!@@vikinghoodbluelighthouse2911
Just doing Heavyweights? I'dd add Joe Louis, Mike Tyson, Jack Dempsey, Max Baer, Deontay Wilder, Rocky Marciano., Wlad Klitschko, Lennox Lewis.
Ali beat all of them even shavers when he was not in his prime. I am sure shaver and foreman took something out of him but Ali was a beast to best all three.
Yaa 100%🎉

Marciano! Undefeated with the highest knockout ratio
@@rickster9065he doesn't have the highest knockout ratio
@@brunch8051 undefeated with the highest ko ratio, so wilder has a slightly better KO ratio but isn't undefeated ........ yeh I probably should word it differently ........there has never been an undefeated heavyweight with a higher KO ratio than marciano
Jack Dempsey
Where is Rocky Marciano ????
He’ll be in the next one of the most hard hitting boxers ever
P4P maybe, but on his best day he is much smaller and will punch way, way less harder
@@masterchiefpettyofficer1176 I guess the same goes for Mike Tyson then! Nothing to do with size!
@@michaelwilliams1723 Rocky Marciano is a lightweight
Wrong - Marciano
😂 good joke bro
He hit hard sure but he’d stand no chance stopping Patterson in round 1 Frazier in round 2 or dropping Ron Lyle in round 3
@@Respect12948if you don't know old classic fighters then you should learn about it. Rocky Marciano beats many great fighters such as Archie Moore, Ezzard Charles, Joe Louis And Jersey Joe Walcott. These boxers is better than Patterson, Frazier, Ron Lyle even Cus D Amato said Floyd Patterson had no chance against Rocky Marciano he knew his fighter can't beat him. Poor your mom and dad are passed away that's why you so dumb
An then there was ALI🥊😄🤣😆👋🏿🛸
what about marciano
He’s so basic
@@Dreczhar Agreed. Only basic devastating puncher ever that was undefeated😂😂😂
@@milojanis4901 I can defeat
3 hardest punchers of all time in heavyweight boxing. Everyone else (except Deontay Wilder and Sam langford) comes before these 3.
David Tua imo hit harder
I’d say shavers hit the hardest but was the worst fighter of the three still a legend tho
Foreman was second. Much better technique and of the three could take the best punch.
Liston while having the least power of the three is easily the most advanced technically
Listons inspires me to be intimidating when I encounter some vipers and he really mastered the art of intimidation
Muhammad Ali win all 🫢
Ur missing cleveland williams
Ur right but I ain’t gonna add all of em to the video
Big cat Williams
Tyson not here why? Shannon Briggs k.o.ed almost everyone he fought in round 1
These 3 hit harder than Tyson
would've been something to see Tyson vs Shannon Briggs instead of biggs
Tyson yes. Briggs no.
@@tsb7911 Beiggs hit hard bro he knocked out basically eveyome 1st round
@@GiaNt_TaLOn Briggs did hit hard. No question about that. I just wouldn't put him in my top 10 punchers. Perhaps top 20 or 30 GOAT punchers, which is still pretty damn good.
And who whupped all three?
Probably no one
Ali
Ali
Shavers beat the brain cells out of Ali...
@@TheOneAndOnlyZelenkaGuru Muhammed ali was old and was diagnosed with parkinsons disease
I will never believe Ali beat Liston legit. Foreman should have creamed him if he didnt fall for the mind games & having Dick Sadler giving him bad advice
Not the second one, but the 1st fight seems legit. Ali’s coach was screaming at him to get off the ropes against foreman, but look what happened.
@basimali619 Dick Sadlet was in Foremans corner and after the fight left to work with Ali. He advised George to bomb away, which was the worst possible strategy
If George didn't punch himself out in the African hear, he would have beat Ali 10/10 times. Bad coaching & weak mental prep from George
@@thegadflygang5381 Foreman lose to 32 year old Ali 10 out of 10 times no matter how Foreman fought Ali, him punching himself out against Ali is actually his BEST chance to get to Ali, if he had held back his attack and try to box more, he would have lost every single round and not even touched Ali at all, and still lose even more badly
Where Wilder at?
It’s just 3 I ain’t adding all of em in this one video
Wilder isn’t top 3
@@TheGOAT-dr1sqFacts.
Judging by what Foreman, Ali and others said unfortunately Liston shouldn't be on this list. Yes he was a devastating puncher but he wasn't an all time one punch killer like Shavers, Lyle, Foreman, Baer, Tua, Cooney, Williams etc etc.
Wrong Foreman himself Ali chuck Wepner all Said sonny hit harder than foreman
@@Dempsey1873 Show me where Ali said that. Also Ali said the Frazier hit harder that Foreman. If you watch the rumble you can see that Foreman didn't really land a clean full power head shot on ali and he was out of gas and power by the 4th. Also Wepner said no one hit me like that. He was a bloody mess and a tko loss. Foreman banged him out quickly. Sometimes the person in the ring just doesn't get hit by a guys full power or doest remember the ko. Have you ever been knocked out in a boxing match? You don't remember anything 20 seconds before or after the punch that knocks you out and you certainly don't remember the force of the shot. Quarry never said Shavers hit the hardest. Ali never mentioned Lyle in his top punchers list.
@@FirstLast-vl1uyso true you cant rely on what fighters say on the spur of the moment ,I've heard Foreman say Cooney hit him just as hard as Lyle.but when you get ko- d you have your senses scrambled ,sometimes the effects last longer some dont remember the whole day before and after .They used to say Rocky had the biggest punch ,what about Joe Louis ?he used to be the hardest hitter
@@FirstLast-vl1uy You're basing it off the style of the fighter rather than the fighter themselves. Liston couldn't really land a clean headshot on Ali, nor was Liston a slugger like those mentioned. Sonny Liston threw his punches with good technique and never really let loose in the way George did even when you look at footage of both on the heavy bag Sonny just doesn't try and put all his power on display like George. What have Foreman, Ali and others said that takes him off this list? Everything that's been said about Sonny power wise has praised him and put him on the level of Foreman and Shavers. Liston knocked out all of Wayne Bethea's teeth out in the first round. The stories about Liston alone demonstrate phenomenal punching power and his performances in the ring say no different.
Tyson hit harder than Liston. Also if you mention these guys then you have to mention Ron Lyle and Cleveland Williams
It’s only 3 I’m not adding all of em which I will in the next video
Who tf say that mike tyson hit harder than sonny, u go watch chuck wepner talk about liston then u might know why i talk this
@@Dingzet Kid I’ve seen Wepner fight and seen what he say, the fights say it all. Wepner a club fighter at most, never even fought Tyson.
@@jawbreaker8363 the fights say it all, that mean u know that Liston hit harder than tyson
@@Dingzet the fights say it all, common knowledge is Tyson hits much harder than Liston. The guys Tyson wrecked easily Liston would struggle to knock down.
im pretty sure tyson hit harder than liston
110% agree. just look at their Ko % its not even close. Did Liston hit hard ? no doubt but something like 25% of his oppenents went the distance vs him.
Nah
Some people cannot see the difference between raw power and power combined with speed and accuracy. Tyson was NOT one of the hardest one punch hitters and neither was Liston. Yes both hit insanely hard but there are many levels and different types of power.
Tyson had snap + speed power and extremely high accuracy that created the illusion that he hit harder than he did. Liston had more raw weight and strength power and over all hit significantly harder than Tyson.
When I'm explaining this to non combatants I like to use the analogy of bullet ballistics. A 45 is a large slow moving round with less penetration. It typically has more stopping power and does more direct surface damage and it does wider damage. A 357 magnum is smaller and much faster and does more internal damage. They are actually almost identical in overall effectiveness yet by different means.
Tyson would of course be the 357 and Liston the 45. You can make the same analogy with Frazier - Foreman.
Then one must add all the other attributes. Tyson had the greatest combination of power , speed , and accuracy in the history of the heavyweight division. He did not have one of the hardest single punches in history. Not even in the top ten. His other strong attributes even this out. Very few of the top fighters Tyson fought listed him as the hardest puncher they fought.
It's also interesting and should be noted that Tyson avoided every single dangerous one punch power hitter his entire career with the exception of Ruddock meanwhile Liston destroyed Cleveland Williams who was listed by both Ali and Foreman as one of the hardest single punchers they were ever hit by
@@FirstLast-vl1uy I could buy that Tyson is not one of the top 3 hardest hitters ever but when you said NOT even top 10 you basically lost all crediability.
