    You know, the guys who can knock you out with a single punch from either hand in dexterous fashion, proficient with several sunday punches used as single shots or as combinations to finish off your opponent. Who are the best? Who's not appreciated?

    Some obvious:

    You put George Foreman and Jack Dempsey as obvious choices but not Sonny Liston and Rocky Marciano? Or were you just mentioning a few names?

    Clearly I was just mentioning a few choices, unless you're debating that Dempsey and Foreman are two-handed hitters? Or perhaps you think Marciano and Liston are better examples? I have no idea why you'd be disappointed with my choices unless you have personal issues with either fighter. For my money I think both Dempsey and Foreman are better punchers than Liston or the Rock.

    One punch, and down for the full count, one by a left hook, the
    other by a right hand, in championship round competition:

    You know, i almost put hearns in the topic title but I dont think of him as a two handed hitting monster for real. That KTFO right hand was what sealed the deal for him most of the time. He had a good jab and left hook that did damage.... But I don't see him as a two handed KO puncher.

    EDIT: How can you hate Naz? Guy is hilarious. Lame for basically givng up after barrera but best ring antics ever.

    Ahh there, the truth comes out. Why couldn't you just admit it in the first place? For my money, I think both Liston and Marciano are equal too if not better punchers than Foreman and Dempsey.
