Top 25 Hardest Hitters Of The Last 25 Years... Pt1

I'm officially calling you to fight me Dave, you can't run from me forever and you have to continue this fight to get respect. How do we measure a fighter's power to know how hard he really hits? someone to sleep with in fight after fight is a pretty good indicator, but today we'll take a look at all aspects of what it takes to be an assassin droid in the ring. Hit me with one shot when a hit moon is happy. Frode, from George Foreman to David. Hello, Tommy Morrison to Deontay Wilder, sit back and enjoy as we take a look, in no particular order, at the best punchers the boxing world has seen in the

last

25

years

, well, 27 to be exact, as we focus Exclusively on fighters who were active from 1990 to Today are not ranked pound for pound, so of course every entry on this list is a heavyweight.

The most forgotten champions of recent times are the Nigerian nightmare. Samuel Beter with a KO percentage of 80% of his 36 wins. Peter was no joke in his time even though the most famous clip of his career was his post-fight interview after winning the WBC title in 2005 with a record 24. No Peter came desperately close to knocking out Vladimir Klitschko after falling to the canvas three times, but ultimately did not have the skills necessary to see the job through to the end and lost by unanimous decision overall. I would say Peter is a good puncher but nothing spectacular, his aggressive style worked in his favor most of the time but once he got into the championship rounds he fades drastically she was born and not me he is aggressive he is strong he is a real heavyweight he has a neck that is very short and compact Michael David Haye is a man that I am sure many of you viewers are familiar with, there were only two men that he defeated that managed to make it to The finish, leaving him with a 92% knockout rate in his 28 wins, left a stamp on the boxing scene in the late 2000s, when he virtually dominated the cruiserweight division and won three of the four major titles he then moved. up to heavyweight and beat Nikolay for the WBA title.

He had an astronomical height advantage, but they still managed to defeat Elan Points and even came close to stopping him in the

last

round, but as a heavyweight, I personally feel that they couldn't measure up. to expectations after being bullied by Vladimir Klitschko and most recently, whether injured or not, lost in a big showdown with fellow cruiserweight champion Bell, the first time his pain in the game was great and it worked, He said before the fight exactly what he was going to do. and what the fight was going to be like and it was basically 100% exactly how he said it was going to be.

I'm going to be a Buchi is a fighter I considered trading for many of the honorable mentions I listed for him, but despite not becoming world champion in the a short career of 20 fights that saw him with 15 of those wins by knockout Mike He was a tough guy in the ring, he put together combinations, his uppercut on Chris Bird in their last fight in 2005 still makes me cringe to this day and shows the kind of potential he has. Larry Holmes is one of the top 10 heavyweights of all time in my opinion and people who follow this channel know that I include fighters dating back to the very beginning of the 19th century.

Queen's burger rolls, we're making lists, so that's something I say with the highest praise. Larry didn't have the most threatening one-punch power, but he did have a truly devastating skill set that saw him knock out 44 of his 69 opponents in the fight. Check out one that in Larry's case were mainly title fights as he dominated the era between Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson. This may surprise people, but my favorite moment in the ring in all of boxing history was in the 15th round between Larry Holmes and Ken. Norton, even Rocky Balboa in the front row was stunned.

I won't be a champion, I love you, anger, do it, I have no heart. Shannen the cannon brakes may have become something of a meme in recent

years

with the whole "we're going to be champions" thing. but fans who followed him when he was young in the ranks will remember the way he made the semi-deserted Jamin look like nothing more than rookies. Briggs is speculated to hold the record for most first round knockouts in heavyweight history with 37, which is impressive whether you're knocking down tomato cans or not, heavyweights are big men and can take a hit a lot. stronger than the average guy on the street, so congratulations on that feat, but at the age of 45 and coming off a drug ban, I think it's cannon time to maybe consider calling it a day Tommy Morrison is A fighter who needs little explanation when talking about his power, just listen to the sound of those punches, his devastating left hooks knocking out 42 of his 48 opponents, many of whom were brutalized in the first two. rounds, although many will argue the fact that he failed to compile a resume of the same stature as his peers like Lennox Lewis or Mike Tyson, he beat some of the best fighters like George Foreman and Razor Ruddock and when Redick fell it was as if he had been removed. by a sniper Tommy had a lot of personal problems that prevented him from achieving an even better career, but he still definitely deserves his place here today.

Some favorite fighters. If you put Rocky Marciano in the Floyd style, you would have me, that's you. I think that's me, another fighter who was lucky to make the cut was the seven foot nickel giant. I value him despite being the biggest heavyweight champion of all time by a considerable distance, I failed to really impose size on the many small men he knew. In the ring, a 52-fight career saw him win 50 of those fights, 34 of them by knockout, but he never defeated an opponent who posed a real threat to him in any way averaging 330 pounds. I'm glad it was that way.

Bring me there, washing my face on his hairy, sweaty chest, he leans on you, that hairy chest that he sweats on and some people know that the betting list would be complete without the dynamo of the team. Iron Mike Tyson must be mentioned, many fans consider him one. of the toughest one-hit x' in the history of the sport, whether he won or lost, people would still be watching his knockout videos a thousand years from now, a perfectly handled and trained young Tyson was simply boxing to perfection when He was rising through the ranks. knocking out all the men in his path, whether you argue the fact that his level of competition was not up to par, he proved all the skeptics wrong when he set too strict a bar and treated them the same at the end of the Serie.

We will be calculating our personal top 25 and you can bet your house will be near the top simply an incredible athlete with a real killer there is no one Joe Messi is an insecure name many of the die-hard fans watching this might not be too sure he retired undefeated in 2007 with a record of 36 and OH with 29 knockouts after suffering a brain hemorrhage that left him unable to compete again. 22. The Nevada Athletic Commission decided it was too dangerous for Macey to return to the ring. It doesn't feature a fighter who hasn't at least proven himself against some decent contenders and Messi defeated Vasili one year against Monte Barrett.

David Eisen and Bert Cooper who, to be fair, weren't exactly world champions, but it takes a certain level of skill. To beat those guys, I may have just introduced Joe just to give him some credit that he couldn't get elsewhere. He didn't exactly hit like an excellent George Foreman, but he certainly knew how to take on a guy. he sleeps in the best night of him. I hope you didn't think we were going to lose the active guys because, whether Anthony Joshua has 19 fights or 90 fights, I think it's fair to say that he has proven himself to be of a certain level and is already the only fighter.

Listed with a 100% KO record, Joshua is a bad man when he enters the ring, although it is very early in his career, so I don't doubt that he will eventually suffer a loss or let a fighter go the distance, but for now . His knockout of Vladimir Klitschko demonstrated the raw strength and power this young man possesses whenever he pushes the pace of his opponents. We won't get too carried away with Joshua considering he's only been competing for a couple of years, but I have a feeling his in-ring presence will last for a long time. He fits the undefeated heavyweight youngster.

If pure emotion is what you like to see when watching boxing, then look no further than Evander Holyfield at his prime, it truly was something special to see. The relentless work requires quick hands to study power, and to top it all off, the uncanny ability to never accept defeat when Evander chased George and landed 18 or 19 punches in a row, he just wasn't going to take no for an answer if you hit a three. .. punch combo, you know he'll come back with a 10 hit combo, the 63% ko percentage doesn't really give this warrior the justice he deserves and that's probably due to the fact that he kept fighting well past his Best time, honestly, at its best.

It's little to no heavyweight I'm picking to beat Evander and that's saying something considering he moved up from cruiserweight. Tony Tucker was just another one of those great heavyweights of the late '80s and early '90s who suffered fights in the Same as a top-notch Mike. Tyson with 47 Kos and 57 wins, Tucker was not a man to be overlooked when looking back over the last 25 years, he showed that when he stopped Buster Douglas for the vacant IBF title in 1987, there was something that made him led there and right behind him or another. Injuries and management issues kept Tucker from reaching his full potential, but overall he was a great boxer who in his day was able to beat a vast majority of the fighters listed here, although they may look similar and share the same last name, it's important to separate to the Klitschko brothers.

When attacking his skills, Vitali Klitschko was an aggressive, hard-hitting heavyweight who virtually dominated the division in the 2000s. 45 wins with 41 knockouts speak for themselves, but honestly, it was more the way he dealt with the majors. contenders, that's more. Impressive after losing to Lennox Lewis and an all-time great heavyweight fight in 2003, Vitali remained undefeated for the remainder of his 10-year career and defended his WBC crown along the way, and for the unfortunate man who went all the way, they had to endure a life-changing beating on the platform Hashim Rahman is often overlooked when talking about recent heavyweight greats, although he doesn't have the most complete resume, but you can't overlook the fact that he knocked out Lennox Lewis and also brutally before him.

He met David Tua in 1998. Rahman had a record of 29 and Oh with 24 knockouts and even when he finally moved up in competition, his KL rating reached an impressive 82 percent. He was not blessed with natural abilities or talents, but rather he slowed down and excelled. The in-form Rahman never had a fan base in America, but he always had the power to defeat the top players in the heavyweight division. Earnie Shavers, one of the top 25

hitters

of the last 25 years, you may ask, yes, that may be confusing to many. fans who associate him with fighting in the 70s, but he is on the list on a technicality considering his last fight was in 1995, obviously this was not even a shadow of his best self, but good old Ernie sneaks in on the list and I'm I guess a lot of people watching already know how high it could potentially rank by compiling it at the elbows.

The best one punch fighter. The best shot I've ever seen is owned by a man named Earnie Shavers. Ernie was a freak of nature. One punch could seriously change your life and although much of the footage of his fight is grainy to watch by today's standards, you can still see the amount of force this man could generate with a single punch in shavers 74 wins crushed 68 of His opponents and any top contender of that time will tell you how relieved they were if they never had to meet. Be a photo shoot. Thank you. We have decided to cut the video into two parts.

We will be working overtime to have the next video ready as soon as possible.
