The montage at the end with Joe Louis gave me goosebumps. Perfect music outlining the historical significance of his second fight with Max Schmelling. Brilliance.
okay that Joe Louis segment was something else man, unbelievable, could u please upload that segment as a video by itself? it’s by far the best Joe Louis tribute ever
Reznick is making boxing videos whose comment sections don't become mean-spirited and hostile. That's a helluva feat. It's all hero worship down here. None of the bitter arguments.
Great video. The Joe Louis segment was the 3 best minutes of any boxing tribute footage I've ever seen - simply sensational. It does make sense to have quite a few 190 - 210 pounders in there because this is the range where optimal power and leverage can be used to maximum advantage. The bigger guys struggle against their own levers and weight sometimes. Having said that, people like Joshua and the later day Foreman will always make these lists because the sheer size and explosiveness will be sufficient to annihilate anyone.
@@daddydaddy_c00l82 Ezzard Charles had power, his one punch knockouts against Moore and Sattersfield proved that but hes definitely not top 10, let alone top 3
Interesting list...I don't totally agree though but that is the beauty of the sport. i think the Criteria favors some fighters more than others and id have personally had Foreman higher..one of the best jabs in the game along with the most effective uppercut to date...he tore thru men like no other.. i LOVE how you included Max Bear..always have thought highly of him and is very underated when it comes to his underlining skill and power... for me top 3 are Foreman, Marciano, Louis. In no real order.
Yeah I thought he was wack because he faced mainly white fighters, unlike rocky Marciano who fought everyone. In an era with mediocre fighters though. But I changed my mind hoe Louis is a true champ. He was fast and strong and crafty too. I got caught up with what Ali said about Louis, how he’s slow and stiff. But if you pay attention he’s very agile. And he’s reflexes are impeccable. I never seen a hw like him. I thought Liston deserved to be higher because he was a monster, and Tyson because he was the greatest. But I decided this list is a great mesurement of all these great fighters accomplishments and strength.
Although the Liston bouts against Patterson were mercifully brief, watching those haymakers that did take Floyd out was enough to inspire a sympathetic pain. It takes a special kind of persona to wish to become a fighter.
@@Wuschi2001 he beat Max Schmeling in 1938 which made him a national hero they say Hitler was so angry he sent Schmeling to fight on the Eastern front against the Russians ( that was really a death sentence) but he survived the war, after Coca -Cola used Max instead of Joe Lewis for their advertising, Lewis was forced to make a living opening doors at Las Vegas casinos.. while Max Schmeling who fought for the Nazis did very well. That's how.
Yet, another superb video Rez. One thing I noticed is that JL never blinks when throwing his punches. I believe that is why he was so accurate. All the others seem to flinch, blink, or look away, when nearing impact with their punches. In my opinion JL had a gift for somehow managing that fundamental human instinct.
Love the list! So glad Dempsey made it up so high. I agree with his placement because of his ability to drop men who out weighted him by over 50 pounds (Willard) which is pretty impressive. Plus that Joe Louis montage was amazingly crafted.
Joe Louis is my favorite Heavyweight Champion of all time. To see him on your boxing clips and getting the respect he deserves is both honorable and awe inspiring. I have always loved the background music that you mesh with your clips. Just like I would've, way to end it with music from Two Steps From Hell.
@Not so Wealthy Gamer George definitely does, being a heavy puncher. But joe louis was a dynamite puncher, with incredible speed and accuracy that is just insane.
@@earthtruthhunters1642 look at his record and you'll see the tomato cans. His best wins are all legends and champs way past their prime. In fact he was a punching bag in all his fights before getting the finish. In no way technical. Always outbound before his comebacks.
@@cheetoyeeto1232 to be fair, every single fighter ever has fought a few bums and tomato cans. Marciano fought and beat the best of his era, and you cannot ask for any more from a fighter.
I was so glad to see Ernie Shavers in this list! Very overlooked fighter. But filled with raw, awesome power! That pause for the number 1 was so long, I swear I thought it was going to be Don Knotts or something.
Damnit man. Another fantastic video. I can't disagree with the list too much either. Just a lot of incredible punchers. Lots of other great punchers from the sport are around but you got a really great set of them with some fantastic footage. That Joe Louis segment was outstanding!
jlrockafella I'm a huge Marciano advocate. The list Rez put up is solid and he also has a criteria that he's following. Marciano was not the most accurate and wasn't very fast. He had power, consistency, testimonials and I believe great form. But this is Reznick's list and I can't argue with what he's elected to put up.
I believe Rocky Marciano should be #1 since he went undefeated and TKO Joe Louis when they fought. I'd say Joe Loius is #2 and Sugar Ray Robinson #3 (p4p best boxers of all time imo)
No livelife101. Joe Louis is number 1 for a reason. He's the greatest puncher of all time. Joe's Got 26 title defenses and the longest reign in heavyweight history at almost 12 years. Rocky only got 7 title defenses and a 5 year reign as champ. Do your research first.
I like how he listed Sugar Ray as #1 when he wasn't even a heavyweight. I think he was confusing greatest boxer of all time with hardest hitting heavyweights of all time.
Louis was lethal because of power and placement. He could hit very hard but knew where and when to throw to execute like a Ray Robinson or Archie Moore.
BEST BOXING VIDEO EVER!!!!!!!! Very good reznik I’ve been watching your stuff every since I was little, loved the joe Louis vid, inspired me to become a boxer
Can't really agree with the entire order, but you got them all - Shavers, Foreman, Rocky and the oft-overlooked Liston. He may have the hardest jab in heavyweight history. Joe Frazier is also an underrated puncher, but I won't split that hair. Good video!
Richard Murray Liston in his early years may have been untouchable later on he got out of shape tho but when he was around 21 he was possibly better than foreman, who he actually used to spar with incidentally
I expected to see Joe Frazier among the top 10, but it's your opinion and I respect it. Amazing vídeo. Absolutely fantastic. The political scene behind the Schmelling - Louis fight is priceless. Brilliant work.
Excellent list. However I'm surprised Archie Moore wasn't included given the fact he has the most amount of knockouts in heavy weight history. I would also add in Frazier too. Top 5 for me though is Marciano, Liston, Shavers, Foreman, Louis.
Heavyweights really don’t hit their prime until early 30s. He was just a few years past his prime, still a great boxer. Look at the recent heavyweight champion fight. Wilder was 35 Fury was 33 Joe Louis was 37 vs Rocky
@@28282222 he was like 5-7years out of his prime and you can't say every boxer for example iron mike in his prime was 22 or George and was 25 it is the person and performance not the age
@@28282222 Rocky Marciano only had six great fights in his career, but they were all against OLD men past their primes Joe Louis, Jersey Joe Walcott 1-2 , Archie Moore, and Ezzard Charles 1-2 the rest of the boxers on his record were bums who either worked in hotels, bars, ice services, ect set up by his brothers and others. That's why you can't find any boxing historian that calls Marciano the greatest HW boxer because everyone knows about his record and he didn't face great competition on the highest level he only fought old great fighters past their primes and bums. #FACTS
Great list and video, the Joe Louis part could have been its own video lol. Although, if the list was created with pure punching power in mind I think that Tua may have deserved a spot, possibly at the expense of Jeffries whose power is proven through legend as opposed to actual footage.
I love this video it was fantastic. My only critique is where Earnie Shavers is on that list considering that he's officially been ranked the hardest hitting heavyweight of all time. I understand that you made the video before that happened. Love the clips you made and keep it up!!!
Dempsey was a brutal fighter but idk if it was his punching power, rather his relentlessness. Earnie Shavers was specifically named as a harder puncher by several boxers who fought Foreman, including Ali. Marciano said the hardest puncher he faced was Jersey Joe Walcott, but he also fought (an older) Joe Louis, who’s power is a little overstated by his “bomber” moniker (that being said he was probably the best heavyweight boxer/fighter on that list. Lennox Lewis was not as well known for his power as a puncher as much as quite other few heavyweight boxers from his era (most of which he beat, however) and was even accused of having a “pawing” jab, so idk if he really deserves to be on this list.
Thought-provoking list. As far as one-punch KO power, I'd have to go with Big George, although Liston came very close and had the better jab. For combination punching, and the union of speed and power, Louis and Tyson in their primes are hard to top, although Dempsey's knocking on the door. Great video. Thanks for posting it.
Greatest knockout artist any weight, all time = Joe Louis. Body blows, shots upstairs to head, straight right, overhand right, jab, hook, uppercut. ...you name it; Louis threw it in text book, step by step, proper fashion to do the most possible damage on your opponent. Nobody put his punches together in rhythm to hurt an opponent better than Joe Louis did. Joe was taught by the legendary Jack Blackburn. Best trainer in boxing history. Ray Arcel trainer of greats like Benny Leonard, Ezzard Charles, Larry Holmes, Roberto Duran, and many other terrific boxers praised Blackburn. So did Eddie Futch. Eddie sparred with Louis. Futch was fast and small compared to Louis, and Joe worked with Futch training to try to avoid punches. Sharpening his defensive skills and his reflexes. Want to learn how to box throwing punches in proper fashion in order to win fights and kick ass in the ring? Watch Joe Louis.
Sonny Liston, George foreman, Riddick bowe, mike Tyson, Rocky Marciano, jersey joe Walcott, earnie shavers, Jack Johnson,ken Norton Jr,and Joe Louis are the hardest hitting heavyweights of all time.
Men I would not want to be in the ring with at specific times in their careers. Jack Dempsey 1922 Joe Louis 1938 Rocky Marciano 1953 Sonny Liston 1962 George Foreman 1973 Mike Tyson 1988 At those points in their careers I think the potential for being permanently hurt by them was very high. Destroyers of men...
@@cruelleader4782 I would take the payday to fight anyone in my weight class, but if I were alive and a healthy boxer at the times these men were fighting I would not take the pay day. You might not live to spend it after a fight with a 1938 Joe Louis or a 1973 George Foreman.
Many will laugh but Sonny Liston followed Joe Louis in second place.Sonny was awesome and a good friend of Joes,right till Liston`s death/murder/suicide or whatever.....who knows !
clip 11 If you read Nick Tosche`s book Liston spent the last night of his life with Joe Louis. at Joe`s house in Vegas.I think you are right .Sonny did not have the hand speed of Louis.Liston used to just bludgeon people to death but i wonder whether that was because of his age .Apparently some who knew him thought he was a good 10 years older than his stated age Chuck Wepner,Liston`s last opponent thought he looked about 50 years old ,up close.
Can't Love you more brother,,, Joe Louis at the top and the total list is absolutely the actual what it should be. ... Just too good and unbiased ... Hats off
It's best punchers, not hardest punchers. Dempsey's speed, accuracy and vicious intentions are all above the guys you stated. That's why Joe Louis is #1 despite the fact that Marciano hit harder than him
Hardest Punchers of All Time (Based on Raw Power) 1. Earnie Shavers - Labeled by boxing experts and boxers to be the hardest puncher of all time. Muhammad Ali who faced Liston, Foreman, Lyle, Frazier, and had a brief sparring with Marciano stated that Shavers hit the hardest among them. Holmes, Norton, Lyle, Cobb, Jimmy Young, and others boxers alll agree that Shavers hits harder than anybody including Foreman, Tyson, Lyle, and The Klitschkos 2. Sonny Liston - The greatest slugger to have ever stepped in the ring. He is also known to possess the largest hands in boxing history. He is also the boxer with the hardest jab. His jab is capable of knocking out his foes and majority said that his jab was sinilar to a telephone pole. Ali, Wepner and other boxers who fought him stated that he hits harder than Foreman. Johnny Tocco, who worked with Foreman, Tyson and Sonny Liston, said of the three, Liston hit the hardest, and was the strongest. So did Emmanuel Steward, who said of Liston, "he was unbelievably strong, and his punching like a wrecking machine." He also has one of the hardest left hooks and right overhands im the history of boxing. Foreman said that he was forced to go on defensive in one of their sparring matches, considering that Liston was older than him that time. One of the most intimidating boxers past their prime. He is best known for knocking Floyd Patterson out. 3. George Foreman - One of the scariest monsters in boxing history due to his size, durability and insane punching power. He is known for beating Frazier, Norton, and Moorer. He is also known for his brilliant slugfest with Lyle in which he won and his fight with Ali, Morrison, and Holyfield. He is the oldest boxer to have ever win in a boxing championship. According to Holyfield; Old George Foreman hit him harder than any of the opponents he's ever faced which includes: Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis, Buster Douglas, and Riddick Bowe. In his fight with the undefeated Joe Frazier who Ali, he caused an upset when he defeated Frazier by stoppage after knocking him down several times. Ken Norton a notable boxer puncher known for beating Ali, also got brutally knocked out by Foreman in the second round. 4. Rocky Marciano - The greatest swarmer of all time and the only undefeated fighter in this list. With formidable punching power, insane stamina, and granite chin, he is known for beating legendary boxers; Joe Louis (though he was past his prime), Jersey Joe Walcott, Ezzard Charles, Archie Moore and more. He is best known for one of the most devastating punches ever thrown, which is his right cross aka Suzy Q to Walcott. He is also the only boxing champion in this list to have never been knocked out. Despite having the smallest arms in the heavyweight division and being one of the shortest boxers, he was able to knock most of his opponents out. His punching power was tested when the military conducted an experiment to measure the force of his punch. His punch according to the military was capable of piercing a military vest and has a strong force capable of knocking a refrigerator 10 feet away from him. 5. Max Baer - probably the hardest puncher in his era. This guy killed some boxers in the ring, that is a testament of his punching power. It took someone like Joe Louis to beat him up, but he was already way past his prime that time and he had an injury that affected his performance in the ring that time. He knocked Max Schmelling out and ended a lot of boxer's career. According to Joe Louis, his right hand produced the strongest punch that ever hit him though it was after the bell rang. If not for his reluctance to knock most of his opponents out, he could have knocked more of them out or worse killed them. While he possesses one of the greatest right hands in boxing, he also has an underrated left hook which is responsible for some knockouts and even caused the death of Campbell - a boxer he fought. 6. Ron Lyle - A hard puncher, a tough slugger, and a crowd pleaser, Lyle is one of the greatest boxers who has never won any championship. He is best remembered for his slugfest with Foreman. Even though Lyle lost to Foreman he is the only boxer who has ever knocked Foreman down twice and not because of exhaustion but because of his punching power. He also outslugged Earnie Shavers, who is considered to be the hardest puncher of all time. He was also notable for breaking Ali's nose in their fight even though he lost. One of the hardest punchers ever as stated by George Foreman. 7. Mike Tyson - With incredible speed, power, and reflexes: Tyson is definitely one of the greatest boxers and heavy hitters of all time, especially in his prime years under Cus and Rooney. Even though he became a shadow of his own self later on (He lost his great reflex and discipline because of Don King) he was still a formidable puncher and the most intimidating boxer of all time. Whether it's a Left Hook, Gazelle Punch, Right Uppercut, or a Right Cross that hits you, you'll be down for the count. He can hit hard from both angles. 8. Wladimir and Vitali Klitschko - The latest hardest punchers in the history of boxing. According to Freddie Roach, Wladimir's hands are heavier than Mike Tyson and he actually hits slightly harder than him, though this was in comparison to a washed out Tyson. Vitali on the other hand has a sharper punch than Foreman (though Foreman is already old and definitely way past his prime) according to Shannon Briggs. They would lose to other boxers in this list except for Shavers, since boxers back then have more durable chin and harder punching power. 9. Lennox Lewis - One of the most complete boxers of all time. A renowned boxer puncher known for his boxing iq and punching power. He also defeated boxers like Holyfield, Vitali Klitschko, Tua, Morrison, and Mike Tyson (though Tyson was way past his prime). He is easily one of the greatest hevayweight fighters of all time. His long arms and accurate punches are the reason for his powerful punches. 10. Joe Louis - The greatest boxer of all time as labelled by some boxing experts, no offense to Ali and Robinson. His punching power comes from his accurate, precise, and flawless punching style. One of the earliest boxer-punchers, his talent was ahead of his own time. Whether it's a jab, a hook or a cross, you don't want to get hit. In his prime, he was a force to be reckoned with and only Schmelling was able to beat him in his younger years. Louis later avenged his defeat by knocking out Scmelling in the first round in their rematch. This "Black Bomber" is considered to be a hero of the United States. While not as hard hitting as Foreman, Liston, and Shavers, he is probably the greatest puncher in boxing history. Honorable Mentions 1. David Tua - a hard puncher, but known only for his left hook. His other punches are impressive, but not as impressive as the top 10. 2. Joe Frazier - same as David Tua. Also a one armed cannon. He had the best left hook in history 3. Gerry Cooney - Another one armed cannon. It's all left hook or nothing. 4. Deontay Wilder - he needs to beat relevant opponents which possess great chin. It's way too early to rank him. 5. Julian Jackson - I didn't include him, since boxers from the heavyweight division punch harder. Though p4p he could be the hardest puncher. 6. Tommy Hearns - same reason as Julian Jackson 7. Roberto Duran - same reason as Julian Jackson. 8. Hasim Rahman - a powerful puncher indeed, but the top 10 contenders in this list have knocked more relevant people. 9. Sam Langford - He is definitely one of the hardest punchers out there, but I didn't include him because he is smaller and lighter than these heavyweights. 10. Jack Dempsey - I'll definitely place him in the top 10, but my gut tells me his punching power is inferior to the people in the list. 11. Anthony Joshua - same reason as Deontay Wilder. 12. Cleveland Williams - I'm not yet sure about him. 13. Tommy Morrison - He hits hard, but not hard enough to be ranked alongside these ten fighters. 14. Bob Foster - While he did hit hard, his punching power was at it's peak when he was below Heavy Weight. 15. Archie Moore - Same reason as Bob Foster.
Great list. I would put Lyle in number 8 and get Louis out of the list. When it comes to raw power he didn’t have as much as other guys. He needed to be really accurate with his punches and make sure they landed on a vulnerable body part along with using proper form and technique to actually deal damage. Unlike for example Max Baer who didn’t care about anything and could still put men to sleep by just swinging his arms widely
Great list! David tua I felt hit just as hard as prime tyson. Shame he wasn't fast and didn't win a belt but man he had 1 punch bone shattering KO power
I keep seeing people comment about how foreman or shavers or listen ect hit harder than luis or marciano ect. but this list isn't just about punching power if you read the description it also takes accuracy, form, speed, and consistency into consideration . in example foreman had all the power in the world but he was slow so he loses some points there, and his form was somewhat wild his punches were not particularly crisp or well thrown he just had so much power it didn't matter most of the time. luis had every criteria checked to be the top of this list
Kudos for including Jim Jeffries, maybe the most underrated heavyweight champion in history, at least now. For decades after he retired he was considered the greatest. He's mostly remembered for the farcical match against Jack Johnson 6 years after he retired, when he was in horrendous shape.The guy was undefeated in his real career. Insanely fit, strong, and a great all around athlete, the 6'1/2" 225 lbs Jeffries was a lefty who fought orthodox and had tremendous power. The match against Johnson is the one that should be dismissed. Even Johnson later said Jeffries was the greatest. His utter domination during his career should be his primary legacy. Jess Willard, a freakishly strong working cowboy who unfortunately killed an opponent with a brutal shot, deserves a mention too.
The guy had about 10 fights mate and only knocked people out very late, rarely had early knockouts, no way he should be on this list, over people like Frazier, Tua and Klitschko. But a great video nonetheless 👌🏻
@@TFB97 Wrong, lol. He officially had a couple of dozen, a lot more overall, winning most in knockouts, and had the record for fastest knockout in a lineal heavyweight title fight (55 seconds). Sure some went late rounds but that's true of Ali, Marciano, and Foreman too. The guy retired undefeated champion and was famous for his punching power, even if it was more that of a strong, plodding thumper than a dynamic, lightning style. It's not just about how fast you score KOs. An even stronger case can be made for him being on an "underrated" list, but his inclusion here is legit too.
Hamza Khaliq you are fucking dumb. Robinson have ko'd 2 times more people than ali ever fight. Overall, pound for pound muhhamad ali is not even close to sugar ray, tyson or lewis would ko ali in prime... Hahahaha ali better than sugar ray robinson p4p? Dumbass.
What a fantastic Joe Louis tribute, really good context with the war narrative. That said slightly chronologically inaccurate- although the bout was hugely politically charged, it predates the outbreak of war.
I think if George Foreman had fought when they used little leather gloves that were really just to protect your hands , people would have died in the ring
Wonderful video! Though, in my opinion, George Foreman have to be the second number after Joe Louis. And one more remark: you shouldn't describe Max Schmeling as a representative of the Nazi German. In fact he was a nice guy, which was unlucky enough to be borned in bad time and in bad place.
That Joe Louis tribute at the end was fucking insanely good man! And glad to see Liston in the top 5 my two favorites champs
The montage at the end with Joe Louis gave me goosebumps. Perfect music outlining the historical significance of his second fight with Max Schmelling. Brilliance.
Big George's walking uppercuts are still the coolest punches in the world, no doubt
"He's got a minute and eight seconds left. Let's see if he's learned anything about hot to suvi- THIS FIGHT'S OVER!! THIS FIGHT'S OVER!!!"
Friday Monday watch Walcott v Charles
It's definitely the most "bitch get on my level" punch in boxing history lol The foreman-walk-away-uppercut KO
if you looked up heavy-handed in the dictionary you see a picture of big George
Very unique for sure. I like the Kenny Norton overhands, the Ron Lyle overhands and Tyson's weird uppercuts.
The Joe Louis part was out of this world. Amazing as always!
Awesome list! Happy to see Liston rightfully in the top 5.

No shit.

Not too graceful, just beat the shit out of guys. Respect.

Joe Louis undoubtedly number one. Great vid Rez!
I believe Rocky Marciano should be #1 since he went undefeated and TKO Joe Louis when they fought. I'd say Joe Loius is #2 and Sugar Ray Robinson #3 (p4p best boxers of all time imo)
No livelife101. Joe Louis is number 1 for a reason. He's the greatest puncher of all time. Joe's Got 26 title defenses and the longest reign in heavyweight history at almost 12 years. Rocky only got 7 title defenses and a 5 year reign as champ. Do your research first.
I like how he listed Sugar Ray as #1 when he wasn't even a heavyweight. I think he was confusing greatest boxer of all time with hardest hitting heavyweights of all time.
Louis was lethal because of power and placement. He could hit very hard but knew where and when to throw to execute like a Ray Robinson or Archie Moore.
Jerome- Rock-49-0- Nuff said.
BEST BOXING VIDEO EVER!!!!!!!! Very good reznik I’ve been watching your stuff every since I was little, loved the joe Louis vid, inspired me to become a boxer
2:07 Louis: 'Uh oh, I gotta this guy outta here.'
Can't really agree with the entire order, but you got them all - Shavers, Foreman, Rocky and the oft-overlooked Liston. He may have the hardest jab in heavyweight history. Joe Frazier is also an underrated puncher, but I won't split that hair. Good video!
Richard Murray Liston in his early years may have been untouchable later on he got out of shape tho but when he was around 21 he was possibly better than foreman, who he actually used to spar with incidentally
Incredible. Joe Louis footage...wow.
the moment I saw the thumbnail I knew who would hold that #1 spot🐐🐐🐐
Tysons in the thumbnail tho
Richard V lol OK Louis #1 tho
I expected to see Joe Frazier among the top 10, but it's your opinion and I respect it.
Amazing vídeo. Absolutely fantastic. The political scene behind the Schmelling - Louis fight is priceless. Brilliant work.
Great work, I especially loved how you captured the political significance of the Louis-Schmeling part.
Excellent list. However I'm surprised Archie Moore wasn't included given the fact he has the most amount of knockouts in heavy weight history. I would also add in Frazier too. Top 5 for me though is Marciano, Liston, Shavers, Foreman, Louis.
Marciano hit his opponents so hard their arms would break...not sure how any fighter can top that
Rocky never gets the credit he deserves, even on these comments you can see people saying Joe Louis was the best ever....yep Rocky beat Joe Louis.
@@28282222 he beat an old man
Heavyweights really don’t hit their prime until early 30s. He was just a few years past his prime, still a great boxer. Look at the recent heavyweight champion fight.
Wilder was 35
Fury was 33
Joe Louis was 37 vs Rocky
@@28282222 he was like 5-7years out of his prime and you can't say every boxer for example iron mike in his prime was 22 or George and was 25 it is the person and performance not the age
@@28282222 Rocky Marciano only had six great fights in his career, but they were all against OLD men past their primes Joe Louis, Jersey Joe Walcott 1-2 , Archie Moore, and Ezzard Charles 1-2 the rest of the boxers on his record were bums who either worked in hotels, bars, ice services, ect set up by his brothers and others. That's why you can't find any boxing historian that calls Marciano the greatest HW boxer because everyone knows about his record and he didn't face great competition on the highest level he only fought old great fighters past their primes and bums. #FACTS
The Louis part is incredible
i agree...Joe Louis, real life captain America...and his life story is more legendary and tragic than Captain America....
One of the most Inspirational & well done lists of True Warriors! Thank You.
Finally a worth while production
Great list and video, the Joe Louis part could have been its own video lol. Although, if the list was created with pure punching power in mind I think that Tua may have deserved a spot, possibly at the expense of Jeffries whose power is proven through legend as opposed to actual footage.
Beautiful list. at-Number #1, there can be no denying who it is
I love this video it was fantastic. My only critique is where Earnie Shavers is on that list considering that he's officially been ranked the hardest hitting heavyweight of all time. I understand that you made the video before that happened. Love the clips you made and keep it up!!!
Joe Louis looked so closely at is opponents, it was like he was deciding on options on which areas to hit.
Dempsey was a brutal fighter but idk if it was his punching power, rather his relentlessness. Earnie Shavers was specifically named as a harder puncher by several boxers who fought Foreman, including Ali. Marciano said the hardest puncher he faced was Jersey Joe Walcott, but he also fought (an older) Joe Louis, who’s power is a little overstated by his “bomber” moniker (that being said he was probably the best heavyweight boxer/fighter on that list. Lennox Lewis was not as well known for his power as a puncher as much as quite other few heavyweight boxers from his era (most of which he beat, however) and was even accused of having a “pawing” jab, so idk if he really deserves to be on this list.
the combination at 9:54 is absolutely beautiful
Why hasn't Hollywood made a movie about this great man? Joe Louis! The greatest heavy weight of all time!
They have
The Joe Louis story
And max and joe
Thought-provoking list. As far as one-punch KO power, I'd have to go with Big George, although Liston came very close and had the better jab. For combination punching, and the union of speed and power, Louis and Tyson in their primes are hard to top, although Dempsey's knocking on the door. Great video. Thanks for posting it.
That illustration at 11:18 is beyond breathtaking. It simply describes fight night
Greatest knockout artist any weight, all time = Joe Louis. Body blows, shots upstairs to head, straight right, overhand right, jab, hook, uppercut. ...you name it; Louis threw it in text book, step by step, proper fashion to do the most possible damage on your opponent. Nobody put his punches together in rhythm to hurt an opponent better than Joe Louis did.
Joe was taught by the legendary Jack Blackburn.
Best trainer in boxing history. Ray Arcel trainer of greats like Benny Leonard, Ezzard Charles, Larry Holmes, Roberto Duran, and many other terrific boxers praised Blackburn. So did Eddie Futch. Eddie sparred with Louis. Futch was fast and small compared to Louis, and Joe worked with Futch training to try to avoid punches. Sharpening his defensive skills and his reflexes.
Want to learn how to box throwing punches in proper fashion in order to win fights and kick ass in the ring? Watch Joe Louis.
Sonny Liston, George foreman, Riddick bowe, mike Tyson, Rocky Marciano, jersey joe Walcott, earnie shavers, Jack Johnson,ken Norton Jr,and Joe Louis are the hardest hitting heavyweights of all time.
A video of this quality with only 38k views is astonishing in light of the hip hop videos that number in the hundreds of millions.
Exactly!
Excellent ! I'm glad that you included Liston and Bear.
Wow man that joe louis part was the best boxing tribute i ever seen ever.
best sports tribute*
Once again another quality production and perfect backing music, not sure why ESPN classics haven’t snapped you up yet😂.Keep up the good work buddy.
Totally agree with this.Great job man
The Joe Louis part is just amazing
I can't put into words what this work of art of a video made me feel. Thanks
Men I would not want to be in the ring with at specific times in their careers.
Jack Dempsey 1922
Joe Louis 1938
Rocky Marciano 1953
Sonny Liston 1962
George Foreman 1973
Mike Tyson 1988
At those points in their careers I think the potential for being permanently hurt by them was very high. Destroyers of men...
U will not wanted to fight any of them
@@cruelleader4782 I would take the payday to fight anyone in my weight class, but if I were alive and a healthy boxer at the times these men were fighting I would not take the pay day. You might not live to spend it after a fight with a 1938 Joe Louis or a 1973 George Foreman.
louis was just devastating! great vid man as always. Still waiting on my roberto duran tribute ;) regards
Just go to reznick video list, he already has one called Roberto Duran top 10 knockouts
i watched all his vids multiple times mate, he just told me he was about to do a new Duran tribute :) thanks though
well done, your rankings are spot on.
Joe Louis,best heavyweight of all time in his prime.
Spot on !
Many will laugh but Sonny Liston followed Joe Louis in second place.Sonny was awesome and a good friend of Joes,right till Liston`s death/murder/suicide or whatever.....who knows !
clip 11 If you read Nick Tosche`s book Liston spent the last night of his life with Joe Louis. at Joe`s house in Vegas.I think you are right .Sonny did not have the hand speed of Louis.Liston used to just bludgeon people to death but i wonder whether that was because of his age .Apparently some who knew him thought he was a good 10 years older than his stated age Chuck Wepner,Liston`s last opponent thought he looked about 50 years old ,up close.
clip11 joe actually helped train liston so I wouldn't call it "copying"
Chappie Blackburn manager of Louis said he would always say Joe Louis was the best but he said Joe would get KOd in 1st round by Dempsey
Lewis knocking out Rahman is the best knockout I've ever seen, real fast and slick
you should do a whole video
in the biggest and most important fight in boxing history louis vs schmelling
probably the biggest sporting event ever
Can't Love you more brother,,, Joe Louis at the top and the total list is absolutely the actual what it should be. ... Just too good and unbiased ... Hats off
Jersey Joe Walcott said that Marciano hit harder than Joe Louis. Joe Louis said himself that Marciano would beat him in his prime.
It's not just about hitting hard, it's also about accuracy and technique
True.Marciano hit the hardest.
Your productions are great! Always looking forward to new ones!!!!
Jack Dempsey is ranked way too high. He did not hit harder than Foreman, Tyson, Liston, Shavers, Lewis.
I think he based it on the greatest fighters higher on the list. Otherwise it would have been Shavers or Foreman on top of the list.
It's best punchers, not hardest punchers. Dempsey's speed, accuracy and vicious intentions are all above the guys you stated. That's why Joe Louis is #1 despite the fact that Marciano hit harder than him
@@LordLegender exactly. If this list was single punch power, it would be an entirely different list.
Song is badass with the fight clips
Where the FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN REZ?
Awesome as always man. Love the quality in this video.
Awesome video, thank you. I don't agree with the list do much. My top 5 in terms of punching power Shavers, Louis, Foreman, Tyson, Baer
Why are we disrespecting Liston?
Shaver,foreman,louis,tyson then liston ,my list
Replace Louis with Liston and it’s perfect
Hardest Punchers of All Time (Based on Raw Power)
1. Earnie Shavers - Labeled by boxing experts and boxers to be the hardest puncher of all time. Muhammad Ali who faced Liston, Foreman, Lyle, Frazier, and had a brief sparring with Marciano stated that Shavers hit the hardest among them. Holmes, Norton, Lyle, Cobb, Jimmy Young, and others boxers alll agree that Shavers hits harder than anybody including Foreman, Tyson, Lyle, and The Klitschkos
2. Sonny Liston - The greatest slugger to have ever stepped in the ring. He is also known to possess the largest hands in boxing history. He is also the boxer with the hardest jab. His jab is capable of knocking out his foes and majority said that his jab was sinilar to a telephone pole. Ali, Wepner and other boxers who fought him stated that he hits harder than Foreman. Johnny Tocco, who worked with Foreman, Tyson and Sonny Liston, said of the three, Liston hit the hardest, and was the strongest. So did Emmanuel Steward, who said of Liston, "he was unbelievably strong, and his punching like a wrecking machine." He also has one of the hardest left hooks and right overhands im the history of boxing. Foreman said that he was forced to go on defensive in one of their sparring matches, considering that Liston was older than him that time. One of the most intimidating boxers past their prime. He is best known for knocking Floyd Patterson out.
3. George Foreman - One of the scariest monsters in boxing history due to his size, durability and insane punching power. He is known for beating Frazier, Norton, and Moorer. He is also known for his brilliant slugfest with Lyle in which he won and his fight with Ali, Morrison, and Holyfield. He is the oldest boxer to have ever win in a boxing championship. According to Holyfield; Old George Foreman hit him harder than any of the opponents he's ever faced which includes: Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis, Buster Douglas, and Riddick Bowe. In his fight with the undefeated Joe Frazier who Ali, he caused an upset when he defeated Frazier by stoppage after knocking him down several times. Ken Norton a notable boxer puncher known for beating Ali, also got brutally knocked out by Foreman in the second round.
4. Rocky Marciano - The greatest swarmer of all time and the only undefeated fighter in this list. With formidable punching power, insane stamina, and granite chin, he is known for beating legendary boxers; Joe Louis (though he was past his prime), Jersey Joe Walcott, Ezzard Charles, Archie Moore and more. He is best known for one of the most devastating punches ever thrown, which is his right cross aka Suzy Q to Walcott. He is also the only boxing champion in this list to have never been knocked out. Despite having the smallest arms in the heavyweight division and being one of the shortest boxers, he was able to knock most of his opponents out. His punching power was tested when the military conducted an experiment to measure the force of his punch. His punch according to the military was capable of piercing a military vest and has a strong force capable of knocking a refrigerator 10 feet away from him.
5. Max Baer - probably the hardest puncher in his era. This guy killed some boxers in the ring, that is a testament of his punching power. It took someone like Joe Louis to beat him up, but he was already way past his prime that time and he had an injury that affected his performance in the ring that time. He knocked Max Schmelling out and ended a lot of boxer's career. According to Joe Louis, his right hand produced the strongest punch that ever hit him though it was after the bell rang. If not for his reluctance to knock most of his opponents out, he could have knocked more of them out or worse killed them. While he possesses one of the greatest right hands in boxing, he also has an underrated left hook which is responsible for some knockouts and even caused the death of Campbell - a boxer he fought.
6. Ron Lyle - A hard puncher, a tough slugger, and a crowd pleaser, Lyle is one of the greatest boxers who has never won any championship. He is best remembered for his slugfest with Foreman. Even though Lyle lost to Foreman he is the only boxer who has ever knocked Foreman down twice and not because of exhaustion but because of his punching power. He also outslugged Earnie Shavers, who is considered to be the hardest puncher of all time. He was also notable for breaking Ali's nose in their fight even though he lost. One of the hardest punchers ever as stated by George Foreman.
7. Mike Tyson - With incredible speed, power, and reflexes: Tyson is definitely one of the greatest boxers and heavy hitters of all time, especially in his prime years under Cus and Rooney. Even though he became a shadow of his own self later on (He lost his great reflex and discipline because of Don King) he was still a formidable puncher and the most intimidating boxer of all time. Whether it's a Left Hook, Gazelle Punch, Right Uppercut, or a Right Cross that hits you, you'll be down for the count. He can hit hard from both angles.
8. Wladimir and Vitali Klitschko - The latest hardest punchers in the history of boxing. According to Freddie Roach, Wladimir's hands are heavier than Mike Tyson and he actually hits slightly harder than him, though this was in comparison to a washed out Tyson. Vitali on the other hand has a sharper punch than Foreman (though Foreman is already old and definitely way past his prime) according to Shannon Briggs. They would lose to other boxers in this list except for Shavers, since boxers back then have more durable chin and harder punching power.
9. Lennox Lewis - One of the most complete boxers of all time. A renowned boxer puncher known for his boxing iq and punching power. He also defeated boxers like Holyfield, Vitali Klitschko, Tua, Morrison, and Mike Tyson (though Tyson was way past his prime). He is easily one of the greatest hevayweight fighters of all time. His long arms and accurate punches are the reason for his powerful punches.
10. Joe Louis - The greatest boxer of all time as labelled by some boxing experts, no offense to Ali and Robinson. His punching power comes from his accurate, precise, and flawless punching style. One of the earliest boxer-punchers, his talent was ahead of his own time. Whether it's a jab, a hook or a cross, you don't want to get hit. In his prime, he was a force to be reckoned with and only Schmelling was able to beat him in his younger years. Louis later avenged his defeat by knocking out Scmelling in the first round in their rematch. This "Black Bomber" is considered to be a hero of the United States. While not as hard hitting as Foreman, Liston, and Shavers, he is probably the greatest puncher in boxing history.
Honorable Mentions
1. David Tua - a hard puncher, but known only for his left hook. His other punches are impressive, but not as impressive as the top 10.
2. Joe Frazier - same as David Tua. Also a one armed cannon. He had the best left hook in history
3. Gerry Cooney - Another one armed cannon. It's all left hook or nothing.
4. Deontay Wilder - he needs to beat relevant opponents which possess great chin. It's way too early to rank him.
5. Julian Jackson - I didn't include him, since boxers from the heavyweight division punch harder. Though p4p he could be the hardest puncher.
6. Tommy Hearns - same reason as Julian Jackson
7. Roberto Duran - same reason as Julian Jackson.
8. Hasim Rahman - a powerful puncher indeed, but the top 10 contenders in this list have knocked more relevant people.
9. Sam Langford - He is definitely one of the hardest punchers out there, but I didn't include him because he is smaller and lighter than these heavyweights.
10. Jack Dempsey - I'll definitely place him in the top 10, but my gut tells me his punching power is inferior to the people in the list.
11. Anthony Joshua - same reason as Deontay Wilder.
12. Cleveland Williams - I'm not yet sure about him.
13. Tommy Morrison - He hits hard, but not hard enough to be ranked alongside these ten fighters.
14. Bob Foster - While he did hit hard, his punching power was at it's peak when he was below Heavy Weight.
15. Archie Moore - Same reason as Bob Foster.
Now i agree with ur list bruh,max baer and shaver is top 5
@@cruelleader4782 This is my old list. Some people stated that I remove Max Baer because he only hits hard with his right hand. IDK anymore.
Now that's a fucking list.
Get wilder out of there though.
Great list. I would put Lyle in number 8 and get Louis out of the list. When it comes to raw power he didn’t have as much as other guys. He needed to be really accurate with his punches and make sure they landed on a vulnerable body part along with using proper form and technique to actually deal damage. Unlike for example Max Baer who didn’t care about anything and could still put men to sleep by just swinging his arms widely
Great list! David tua I felt hit just as hard as prime tyson. Shame he wasn't fast and didn't win a belt but man he had 1 punch bone shattering KO power
1 Earnie Shavers
2 George Foreman
3 Sonny Liston
4 Mike Tyson
5 Joe Louis
6 Jack Dempsey
7 Ron Lyle
8 Riddick Bowe
9 Rocky Marciano
10 Joe Frazier
Great video and thanks for posting the info on that great music!!
Joe luis's punches landed so clean and powerful, he's rightfully placed at #1 heavyweight puncher. He landed punches in BUNCHES
Top 3 for me is always foreman shavers and liston. Weird how Ali beat all of them.
I keep seeing people comment about how foreman or shavers or listen ect hit harder than luis or marciano ect.
but this list isn't just about punching power if you read the description it also takes accuracy, form, speed, and consistency into consideration . in example foreman had all the power in the world but he was slow so he loses some points there, and his form was somewhat wild his punches were not particularly crisp or well thrown he just had so much power it didn't matter most of the time. luis had every criteria checked to be the top of this list
Kudos for including Jim Jeffries, maybe the most underrated heavyweight champion in history, at least now. For decades after he retired he was considered the greatest. He's mostly remembered for the farcical match against Jack Johnson 6 years after he retired, when he was in horrendous shape.The guy was undefeated in his real career. Insanely fit, strong, and a great all around athlete, the 6'1/2" 225 lbs Jeffries was a lefty who fought orthodox and had tremendous power. The match against Johnson is the one that should be dismissed. Even Johnson later said Jeffries was the greatest. His utter domination during his career should be his primary legacy. Jess Willard, a freakishly strong working cowboy who unfortunately killed an opponent with a brutal shot, deserves a mention too.
The guy had about 10 fights mate and only knocked people out very late, rarely had early knockouts, no way he should be on this list, over people like Frazier, Tua and Klitschko. But a great video nonetheless 👌🏻
@@TFB97 Wrong, lol. He officially had a couple of dozen, a lot more overall, winning most in knockouts, and had the record for fastest knockout in a lineal heavyweight title fight (55 seconds). Sure some went late rounds but that's true of Ali, Marciano, and Foreman too. The guy retired undefeated champion and was famous for his punching power, even if it was more that of a strong, plodding thumper than a dynamic, lightning style. It's not just about how fast you score KOs. An even stronger case can be made for him being on an "underrated" list, but his inclusion here is legit too.
He had about 25 recorded fights he probably had much more but they weren’t documented at the time
Just imagine if Joe Frazier fought in the same era as Joe Louis.
(THE BATTLE OF THE JOE'S)!
Great Video, and Joe Louis deserves to be number 1, he's the greatest heavyweight fighter of all time and its not even close
Yih Dzelonh HELL NO!
Ali was the Greatest Heavyweight of all time
But greatest overall boxer of all time was Sugar Ray Robinson and no one is even close to him, especially Ali.
Gr3g Fk Ali is way better than Robinson.
Hamza Khaliq you are fucking dumb. Robinson have ko'd 2 times more people than ali ever fight. Overall, pound for pound muhhamad ali is not even close to sugar ray, tyson or lewis would ko ali in prime... Hahahaha ali better than sugar ray robinson p4p? Dumbass.
What a fantastic Joe Louis tribute, really good context with the war narrative. That said slightly chronologically inaccurate- although the bout was hugely politically charged, it predates the outbreak of war.
I think if George Foreman had fought when they used little leather gloves that were really just to protect your hands , people would have died in the ring
Shaver will be killed anyone lol
Fitting number 1 was taught by Jack Blackburn.
Wonderful video! Though, in my opinion, George Foreman have to be the second number after Joe Louis. And one more remark: you shouldn't describe Max Schmeling as a representative of the Nazi German. In fact he was a nice guy, which was unlucky enough to be borned in bad time and in bad place.
Man... If only you could include Earnie shavers' knockout of Jimmy Ellis. The most brutal I've seen.
Damn Listons jab looks heavy as fuck!
i had my qualms but uh...its hard to deny Joe Louis, respect.
I think Shavers is ranked a little too low
Its the best puncher not the hardest
If we talk about the hardest puncher well shaver was number 1
Amazing video.
Personally would've had Sam Langford in my top 3 but I have no real complaints about this nor the quality.
great to see joe louis at #1 in my opinon best heavy ever
Agreed.
Wladimir klitshcko will make his future list. But great work sir, and keep up the quality work!
Best boxing video ever
Louis and Schmeling went onto become buddies
Im so happy that ur back.
Earnie Shavers , George Foreman, Sonny Liston - No heavyweight in history hit harder than Shavers.
