    Who had the best one punch KO ability ever, p4p?

    I only see Hearns, Jackson, Shavers, and Foreman in the conversation, and I think Jackson takes it

    Are we talking biggest potential one punch power? Or are we talking about witnessed/proven one-punch outs actually done in fights? In terms of heavyweights there are more proven one punch artists than Shavers and Foreman?:huh

    Hearns no question about it. Hearn's right hand was almost godly

    Foreman was not really a one punch KO guy.

    Even the Moorer fight, Moorer said that he was already hurt from the first 1-2

    Foreman was strong, but its hard put him as a one punch power guy when you see Frazier or Norton getting up time and time again.

    Nothing lights out like Tyson.

    Dempsey who did Tyson knock out who was world class with one punch? Nobody. Tyson flat out stated Foreman was a much harder puncher than he was. I will take his word over you a guy in a boxing forum.

    Anyway I can't believe nobody mentioned Julian Jackson. Fitz and Langford? 2 fighters from back in the day and there is little to no footage of these guys right? But again a old so called boxing expert told you they were hard punchers right so you believe it huh? So typical of this forum.

    How many one-punch knockouts did George score? Not very many based on what I've seen. Foreman was more of an attrition puncher.

    Anyway, Julian Jackson gets my vote.

    Jackson is featured in the poll and is leading by a lot of votes.

    Foreman hit almost as hard as anyone, but 1 punch KO's are about surprise & acuuracy too. Dempsey? He himself said he needed a sustained attack to put a guy down, Rocky more 1 punch. And if you coose lb. 4 lb. it is likely to be a smaller guy like Jackson.
