Judging by what Ali, Holy field, Foreman, Shavers, Lyle, and other high profile trainers commentators and boxers say the top 3 hardest hitters ever are:
1) Earnie Shavers
2) Ron Lyle
3) George Foreman
Everyone that fought both Foreman and Shavers said Shavers hit hardest, everyone that fought Lyle and Foreman said Lyle hit harder, everyone that fought Shavers and Lyle said shavers hit hardest.
Holyfield said that an old Foreman even hit harder than everyone he faced which includes Bowe, Tyson and Lennox Lewis.
So while thats not conclusive evidence it seems to be the strongest evidence is in favor of this order and not one boxer that talked about his experience has a differing opinion on it they all agree and had teh same experience.
P4P is more tricky.
My Guess is
1) Julian Jackson - few dispute him as number 1 p4p
2) Hearns - comes up often in the p4p discussion
3) Gerald McClellan - someone who banged out as many people in the 1st round as Tyson
But my p4p guess is probably wrong because theres so little evidence to decide apon unlike with the heavies
Please guess what you think the top 3 are rather than randomly mentioning the names of great punchers
