    Big Frank had a good, meaty dig on him. He definitely hurt Or shook up at least, Tyson and Lewis. He stunned hard chin McCall.
    Not sure tho where I rate his power.
    Iyo, 1 to 10, with 10 being Foreman type ko power?

    His jab & power were his main assets.
    I was at Wembley when he KO'd Coetzee, very impressive.
    I give his power a solid 8.

    That was one of his best, world class fighter ko of.
    I know Coetzee was fading by then, but no one else taken him out like that.!

    Few guys were as naturally heavy handed.
    Frank’s problem was his lack of speed, and his over muscled limbs lacked suppleness so his punches thudded, rather than snapped.

    Probably a 8 or 9 due to lack of speed.
    With speed, he'd be a clear 10.

    8.5 out of 10. Good, not great. I say he qualifies for a top 100 heavyweight punching list.

    Well he would probably have the same KO ratio and record as Wilder if he fought Deontay’s opposition in the same order..

    Ridiculous. Wilder was a much better and much harder puncher. I highly doubt he beats Ortiz once let alone twice.

    High. As heavy handed as any. I saw him take guys up off their feet with slow arm punch uppercuts, and out.

    Up there. Can't put a number but possibly Top 25-30 when it comes to the best heavyweight power punchers of all time.

    Wilders opposition was absolute toilet until he stepped up and met Ortiz and Fury. Even then he lost nearly every round against them in which he didn’t score a knockdown.. Wilder would be nothing more than a dangerous journeyman during Bruno’s era.
