This is very, very hard. Baer was a very dangerous puncher. But I do remember there being a few fights, where he got easy KOs, that fell under the su****ion of being dives to build up other fights.

Great topic...its going to get ugly here so in before the "what are you crazy?" crowd come in and trample over what is actually a very good topic.

First off: After Camilla's brother was killed in that first fight Baer was devistated and seldom hit like he used to. Occasionally when he throws that right it is devistating. He might have had the hardest right, it ranks up there as one of them. His whole body and shoulders whip into it.

Baer could hit very hard you have to endure some pretty bad cheek to watch him, because he could be a clown, but when thrown properly that right was devistating.

Comparison to Tyson:

Baer had very long levers, his reach was up there, he also had lankiness and explosiveness. Tyson had explosiveness and speed, both guys were fast with the punch. The real difference might be the longer arms of Baer and the speed of Tyson. Tyson being shorter got there first, and could be more compact, Baer being rangier added more levering, potential energy to the punch from the centrifugal force.

Mike Tyson + Smaller /less padded gloves = Devastation

Theres simply no comparison to a Mike Tyson technique /accuracy /speed of how he delivered his punches . Anytime Tyson sat down on those upper cuts it was almost always lights out ,listen to Tysons body punches and tell me who hits harder ? lol

Technically there is a problem with comparison. Both men generate power in a different fashion. We can agree that accuracy is an aside, more interested in pure bone crunching power.

Body punches are a consideration and Max wasn't a body puncher. HIs power was the right...and it was not particularly accurate, but was explosive. Generally when he is compared it is in the category of "the right" but this does not preclude his right from being one of the hardest punches....if that makes any sense

Juggy and myself agree a lot and disagree on other things...But I do have to say in this case, taking his comments in, I am a lot more comfortable saying that Baer has one of the hardest rights in boxing, rather than saying he is one of the hardest hitters... Juggy has a point and with Baer according to many that knew him, he actually made a conscious effort not to tee off so much after the second fatality could be traced to him via the Canera fight. Complicated character he was lol.

Juggy once again laying down the knowledge.
