A Quote by Larry Holmes

Mike Tyson is a sharp puncher. Earnie Shavers was a PUNISHING puncher. There was a difference between the two. Because when Shavers hit you, you feel it all the way through your body.

[Fedor] Arlovski proved himself against Ben Rothwell. As far as a power puncher in the mold of a Mike Tyson-style power puncher, you're not going to find anyone tougher than Fedor.

Shawn Tompkins

Earnie Shavers could punch you in the neck and break your ankle.

Randall Cobb

I am seeing all the guys, like Earnie Shavers, Tex Cobb, and Larry Holmes all the time.

Gerry Cooney

Yeah, I thought I could be heavyweight champion of the world when I was working with Ali and Joe Frazier and Earnie Shavers and all those guys. Because they were older than me and I was doing my thing.

Larry Holmes

I definitely proved that I'm more than just a puncher, but I'm also a puncher.

Jermell Charlo

Earnie hit me harder than any other fighter, including Mike Tyson. He hit me and I was face down on the canvas hearing saxophonist Jimmy Tillis.

Larry Holmes

What made my matches against Borg and Connors interesting was, comparing it to boxing, it was like a puncher and a counter-puncher.

John McEnroe

I think Johny Hendricks has a puncher's chance. He's obviously a big puncher. He's got the power to make it a short night for GSP, but I feel like GSP is going to out-technique Johny Hendricks.

Carlos Condit

Of a thousand shavers, two do not shave so much alike as not to be distinguished.

Samuel Johnson

When I'm on stage, I'm not me playing me. I'm somebody else doing me. I could never go on stage and be like, "Hey, I'm Mike Tyson. My mother and father was in the sex industry." That's the politically correct way to say it, but I would really say, "My mother and father were pimps and whores. This is my life." I could never do that as Mike Tyson. Because I'd feel sorry for myself. But if I could be objective about it and be somebody else, portraying Mike Tyson, saying this story, then it's easy sailing.

Mike Tyson

At one point, I didn't really consider myself as a puncher because it was more so that the speed created the knockouts. People were getting hit with punches they didn't see and they were going down.

Daniel Jacobs

I had an exciting style, I was very aggressive, a body puncher, and I attacked all the time.

Ricky Hatton

Ricky Hatton stands out; he was known for being a good body puncher.

Luke Campbell

I feel like I'm the fastest puncher in the featherweight division.

Cub Swanson

Donald Trump's a fighter. Great counter puncher. Great counter puncher. He's a fighter.

Steve Bannon

When I came to the United States, I saw a lot of Mike Tyson. I would stay up and watch all of the Mike Tyson fights. A friend here said, 'You got to do Jiu-Jitsu. That's the thing.' I said, 'C'mon, Jiu-Jitsu would never beat Mike Tyson.' So, he showed me the Royce Gracie tape. I was so impressed with the thing.
