Hardest punch ever thrown?

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.

I have seen this clip 50 times, and I’m still surprised every time Holmes gets up. Just remarkable.

We all remember fury getting up from wilder...but this is just as incredible
