    If you put a gun to my head:

    1. Marciano
    2. Langford
    3. Dempsey

    But it could honestly be in any order.

    I'm not sure there's ever been a better one-punch finisher than Langford at any weight. SO i'd put him first. I think Marciano hit harder than Dempsey with one shot.

    Maybe Dempsey would tend to hit harder with the second and third punch in a combo most of the time?

    Langford
    Dempsey
    Marciano

    Rocky loaded up almost every time which slightly over rates his power to me .. Langford was simply a freak of nature .. no other natural middleweight flattened as many quality heavyweights excluding Fitz ..

    1. Dempsey
    2. Marciano
    3. Langford

    Dempsey and Marciano have equal power but Dempsey was was a more explosive puncher.

    Langford's power is on the level of the other two he just wasn't as consistent with his knockouts imo and he was bigger than Marciano and Dempsey.

    Seems like you're exposing yourself. Langford weighed from 190-200 most of the time at heavyweight at his best. Dempsey weighed 180 against Willard which was his best fight. Marciano weighed 187 at his best.

    More weight equals more tissue therefore Langford was bigger.

    Quit embarrassing yourself.

    He might have a point, crazy as it sounds.

    Langford weighed nearly the same as Dempsey or Marciano at his peak, but he was much shorter.

    He had a bigger torso, shoulders, and head.

    He was not small, he was stunted.
