    Off the top of my head (in no order):

    Joe Louis
    Ray Leonard
    Tommy Hearns
    Marvelous Marvin Hagler
    Aaron Pryor
    Tyson

    and up until recently, Kelly Pavlik.

    Malignaggi. If he somehow staggers you he will stop you. Just ask 5 boxers....

    Little Red deserves a shout. If that guy hurt ya, you're dead meat. However, most of his KO's came from a sudden right hand or left hook that seemed to come out of nowhere.

    Someone who wasn't mentioned was Gerald McClellan. If the hometown referee wouldn't have saved Nigel Benn he might have been the best ever.

    Agree. Also a shout out to Danny "Little Red" Lopez. How many times was he behind on cards or been down a couple times only to land a bomb and put the opponent away?:yep

    Edit: Oooops, didn't read the whole thread, and didn't see Boo's shout to Lopez up there. LR was bad ass though.

    Great point about Danny Lopez. If he hurt you, your ass was toast. He could suddenly end the fight with either hand too.

    Damn, I need to go through some of my archives. If I had the time, my GF wouldn't see me for days. Just watching tapes and footage 24/7. :p

    Great list...JCC definately belongs but, I don't really see Hamed on the all-time list...Although he may not match the term 'finisher' in a classic sense, Vitali Klitschko has a heck of a KO %...Julian Jackson could be up their as well as many others I can't think of on the spot...

    If the question is, 'who would you least want to be facing if you were woozy and trying to survive?', I would say Mike Tyson...P4P as a factor and I would say Jack Dempsy or Sugar Ray Leonard or Tyson...Okay Tyson...He was crazy scary...

    Too many to chose, but Vitali has the highest KO percentage of any heavyweight in boxing history.

    Pac does quite well.
