What Does Walcott Say About Louis/Marciano?

[McGrain]

Does he specify who hit harder? Who he found harder to fight?

[janitor]

He said that the hardest puncher he ever faced was Gomez.

I have footage of a interview with Walcott and Louis. And Don Dunpry ask Walcott the same question. Walcott said it was differnt styles, Louis take you with combos, and was a BETTER finshiner than Marciano. But PUNCH FOR PUNCH, the Rock hit harder.

That sounds exactly what it looks like to me. Walcott can know it, he faced a lot of punchers in his career.

Wasn't he number one in that department...

Lay out the top three for us again Chris?

Top3 in pure punching power? No idea. I honestly think there's not much between a Tyson, Foreman, Lewis or Shavers in terms of punching power.
I have no troubling with him being #1.

Just that some people think he's on an entire different level than the former fighters i mentioned:

1. Shavers
......
...
....
...
32. Tyson
33. Foreman
etc

They all hit fucking hard, but i don't think there's all that much between the hardest punchers.

[McGrain]

Top3 in pure punching power?

No, no, punchers faced.

Wasn't it you that laid that all out recently in a thread on Lennox Lewis in opposition to a point made by Zakman about Lewis' chin?

I may have misremembered.

On the other hand Rex Layne said that Louis hit harder.

[Dempsey1238]

Well Maybe thats because Layne was still awake with Louis to tell lol. We must rember perhaps Layne could not tell, because he was OUT. And in most cases guys rember the shot that took them out for the ten count like Spinks Tyson or Tyson Douglas, when there still awake. But you cant judge how hard they hit when your out cold like Layne or Walcott. At least Walcott amitts Marciano hit harder, because he was OUT. When Louis, he was still awake. So he sort of puts that in his finale thoughts on who hit harder.

Oh, yes that was me.

I think it was:

1. Ali
2. Lewis
3. Louis

Walcott was top5 i think.
