Which MMA fighter today or in history is a better puncher than Mike Tyson?
In MMA I can’t think of anybody, but Ernie Shavers is accepted as the hardest puncher ever among serious boxing historians. He had more “true” one punch knockouts than Tyson. Watch the old Tyson fights, almost always a combo. Not that I would want to get hit with that either. An arguement could be made for Big George Foreman being a harder puncher than Tyson as well. Tyson fought tomato cans for the most part when that reputation was formed. Early in his career just after his handlers decided it was time to step up the competion, a little known guy by the name James Tillis, took him the distance, and exposed his weakness to those that would later beat him.
