    It's gotta be Roy Jones for me. I was watching his "Greatest Power Shots" dvd this morning for the 5th time and it still blows me away.

    It depends on what division you are talking about. Pac is right up there.

    All divisions. That's why I said p4p. Pac is a good answer though.

    P4P Pac and Roy gotta be up there.

    If I can include an oldie, some archive footage of SRR reveals his overall arm movement is amazing. :yikes

    Going up to the heavies, again sticking with oldies gotta mention Joe Louis. Other boxers tend to use foot movement to "push" through their punches, but good ol Joe seemed to be able to just plant and smash away. He had phenominally quick, lethal hands :!: that he could use from a standing position :ko . Amazing.

    Honorable mention goes to Mike Tyson :good

    Power goes without being said for Tyson. That is already understood. Roy's speed has to put him over the top though.

    Tyson is easily the best for HW, but p4p Jones was faster than Tyson and his power wasn't much behind at his lighter weights.

    I'm going with Tyson. The guy had unreal power in both hands and was a very fast HW, and he was able to do it without the benefit of steroids. The same can't be said about Roy.
