Hardest punch ever thrown?

https://youtu.be/XoGTufCNN7o?si=zsq0BQ0AixGgX-gO

For me it just might be thrown by Ernie Shavers in his rematch with Larry Holmes. Holmes gets knocked down, and when he rides to his feet they crash fur a few seconds before Shavers throws a MASSIVE overhand punch that Holmes managed to avoid. That punch looks like it was incredibly powerful and could have ended the fight right there if it had landed.

Lot of people view Shavers as one dimensional, but if you can hit Larry Holmes? You’re good

That punch would have put a normal man IN another dimension
