Big John Tate would have kicked all their asses.

When i was in high school my church youth group would often serve food at one of the soup kitchens in Knoxville. I met Big John Tate there as he came through the line to get food. I didn’t know who he was, but some of the older folks gushed about how famous he had been. He was in a pretty bad state by the early 90s though.
Here’s a good write up about him
John Tate (boxer) - Wikipedia

Interesting list based off of KO rate.

The 10 Hardest Punchers in Heavyweight History (premierboxingchampions.com)

KO % only tells a partial story. Doesn't take into account ability to connect, who the competition was, things like that.

Marciano didn't have the most devastating power, but the last punch he threw in a fight was as strong as the first, and he threw a million of em every round.

Liston's opponents spent most of their fights running away as best they could.

Frazier really just had the one punch, but he threw it as well or better than anyone ever has.

Tyson stunned you with two punches and knocked you out with the third.

Wilder is a sloppy ass fighter who knocks dudes out when he doesn't even connect completely, but the only fighter of worth has eaten his best shots and got up several times. Jurys out on his place.

the notion that lennox lewis, mike tyson, Joe louis, sonny liston and a number of others didnt have the power that Marciano had is absurd imo

 

[butchna]

Why? Surely….this guy is not the next qb at Ohio state.

He’d be in the running. No sure fire heir to CJ Stroud on the roster. Just some 5 stars and high 4 stars waiting their turn.

Surprised Tommy Morrison isn’t getting any love for KO power.

48-3-1 (42 KOs) 32 of them in the first 3 rounds

His 3 losses were Ray Mercer, Michael Bentt, & Lennox Lewis

Him and Tyson somehow never fought. He did have a few big wins, UD over Foreman & TKO over Donovan Ruddock

My second favorite boxer ever...............He was fun to watch, like a train wreck.

glass cannons get forgotten for whatever reason.
Patterson packed a hell of a punch for such a light fighter but only thing most remembers is how fast he was and how fast liston put him down

If that dude had stayed away from women & drugs he could’ve had an amazing career imo.

But boy were his bouts violent! He had serious speed and I think his hooks rival anyone in boxing.

I didn't say I agreed with the list, just thought it was interesting, and it was based off of KO rate. But most lists of hardest punchers include Tyson in the top 5.

 

[butchna]

I don’t cry enough…that brought it.

 

[UpstateVol613]

Glad he didn’t go to Florida.

 

[Weezer]

Glad he didn’t go to Florida.

Yeah, but will Lane creepy dance with him and put it on Twitter?

 

[MoCo_Vol]

I still say Thomas Hearns should make every KO power list too, but it’s almost always HWs that get the love.

Man that’d be an epic troll! Wish he would

Liar. I saw Rocky Balboa beat him too.

Lane channeling his inner Brian Kelly.

It hit me hard so I'm passing it on.

Glad I waited. I was stuck on VQ for years because Rivals didn’t have a decent unsubscribe option. Called and talked to reps and they’d transfer me to India who would transfer me to a voice mail with an expired voice mail box. Hubbs suspended me for a week once for discussing politics and I messaged him to teach me a proper lesson and cancel my subscription…never did. Then someone on the GQ slipped up and shared a link to access accounts…unsubscribed in seconds! Leery about jumping into that cesspool again.

It was a street fight and wasn't sanctioned.

Has anyone been following the soap opera going on with UF and it's former #1 recruit, a QB named Jaden Rashada? It seems he first committed to Miami but switched to UF due to what was supposedly a $13 million NIL deal with their NIL entity. But evidently issues have come up and he has requested a release from his signing.

Miami just lost their top QB recruit so they may go after him again but how weird would that be.

$13 million, and they gave us crap over Nico.

Plus, that change alone drops UF's recruiting class ranking on 247 four slots to #17 with no QB in the class and practically no QBs on their roster. Please let this be a crashing of the UF program. .

The Miami NiL collective should have legal standing to sue. Or not. Idk the legalities here...but they should sue the hell out of the Florida collective regardless...just because I want to see them burn

And I'd love to watch BOTH having to exhaust their funds on attorneys...while simultaneously exposing the Miami fund guy as a fraud...bring me the Mauigoa brothers...one an OL and the other an LB...yes please.

I was a Hagler fan. Didn’t properly appreciate The Hitman until YouTube.
