Best puncher by weight class

Wow, I like it. I would mix in George Foreman and early Tommy Hearns.

 

Isn't it odd when people say power is overrated? That power is the least important attribute for a boxer?

Then you think about the hardest punchers in each weight class and names like Ray Robinson, Joe Louis, Roberto Duran, Ricardo Lopez, Alexis Arguello, Wilfredo Gomez come to mind.

Which happen to be some of the best if not the best fighter ever from those weight classes.

 

I'd put shavers in at heavy maybe and foster in at light heavy but no quibbles with any of them really

 

There have been plenty of lesser junior welterweights with harder one punch power than Pryor.

 

Solid copy :good

 

:rofl

 

I think id edge Hearns over srr at welter

 

Such as?

 

But power wasn't the number 1 attribute of any of those guys

 

The most recent potential candidates that come to mind are Randall Bailey, Lucas Matthysse, and Danny Garcia's hook...

 

I think it's the single most important attribute.

If you can punch, you have a chance, always. And I think having power is the foundation to making a great boxer. There are exceptions to the rule, but that's my personal philosophy.

 

Completely disagree. :good

 

Marciano was a true heavyweight...please don,t disrespect him
