    Hearns and Tyson come to mind. they used to get perfect leverage on their power punches.​

    Arguello. Best puncher ever IMO. Power, technique, variety - everything.

    So much of what Arguello did was based on timing and placement, rather than force. The hook he dispatched Escalera with in their rematch was not a shot he loaded up on, but hit the Snake Man on just the right location, causing Alfredo to fall multiple times.

    Eddie Mustafa Muhammad and Mike Spinks used excellent technique, I felt.

    Wilfredo Gomez made it look so easy.

    Jimmy Wilde. Used his speed, accuracy and sense of timing, more than anything else to knock out men twice his size.
