    Make a list then instead of denigrating others choices.

    Hearns had more hand speed at 160 than Monzon and displayed devastating power, Benn had a better match of hand speed and power than Monzon too, maybe Robinson also who had quicker hands and knocked Fullmer with one shot.

    Acelino Fretias is a good choice for super feather good speed and serious power at that weight. Although I feel Ike Williams is probably best example at lightweight a modern choice could be Edwin Valero he could be mentioned at super feather too.

    But that's common sense. Hearns was fast enough to handle a fighter noted for his speed in Hill.
    Forgot about Norris too. And yes he may have been faster than prime Leonard at Jr. Middleweight.

    What exactly is there to "lol" about Marcus?

    Your exact and complete statement was - "Khan had 3 points wins at light welter, he wasn`t powerful at all."

    I correctly pointed out Jackson had 4 bouts that went the distance at 160. Having 3 points wins really doesn't define someone as a puncher or non puncher.

    In a three fight patch during his peak period Tyson didn't stop Tucker and Smith. Does this really mean much or does one need to look deeper?

    I'm not even saying Khan is a puncher but if you are going to dissect someones choice at least put something substantial forward not just one line of rot.

    As Saad said lets see your choices.

    I'll let you off on any division under bantamweight @mark ant. Lets see your list from bantam to heavyweight please.

    I'm genuinely interested in your choices. Participating and putting forth your own list across various weights and having it scrutinized could well help your development and at worst will make you actually think a bit deeper.

    I`ll give my list later as I`m going to my volunteer site now, but Khan wwas never a puncher, he had tremendous speed but he doesn`t fit on this list, Pryor had quick hands and punched far harder than Khan etc.
