Yes Foreman had way more power than Tyson but Douglas and Holyfield? Douglas had decent power but Holyfield can't be mentioned in same sentence. I think few people on here are confusing punching power with handspeed and technique. The last thing to go on a heavyweight is power and the first thing is speed. Mike Tyson had lightning handspeed and would clock you on the button with a punch you never saw. That is why he knocked people out not raw power. When he lost his speed he became a less than marginal heavyweight because he didn't have the punching power to fall back on. He couldn't knock out Kevin McBride who has a feather chin. If Foreman came out of retirement now at 60 years old he could still knock out McBride. That is punching power.
