    It would be pretty absurd to leave the best Ko percentage of any HW champ off. Saw someone mention Liston he’s a must as well. Marciano Liston Sheppard Wilder are too guys…to not even include in top 30 let alone 100 seems way off. Especially if it’s a p4p list

    Such a list can't exist without Peter Maher. He probably had more KO wins than any HW ever and was known to be the most powerful puncher during Fitzsimmons era.

    Despite my dislike of Wilder, he has to be there. I don't understand how you can have Shavers so high but no Deontay at all.

    At lower weights, Stanley Ketchel must be there. He's overrated by many, but he deserves to be on that list.

    That shouldn't be the driver of this list. If you think Wilder deserves to be higher up, then he should be IMO.

    Put Satterfield on your list, He's a p4p puncher when a guy like lamotta said hit him the hardest by far. And put Lloyd Marshall, the destruction over Freddie Mills is very terrifying.

    Saad, Graziano and Carter (I assume it's rubin carter?) imo are not p4p. Saad may look good visually, but when asked for common opponents, they all said Spinks by far. Graziano is really not impressive visually and I never heard may quotes about his power. Maybe you might consider Gatti, Johannson and Briscoe but overall... you put all the elite names, well done.
