    Look closer, Chucky. :good

    Forgot about Leonard, one of the greatest finishers, a real killer. But there's so many one could mention.

    No. I didn't ask "what fighters had the most raw power?" I asked who you thought were the best punchers p4p or your favorite ones to watch.

    Julian Jackson had immense raw power. Being a puncher is different.

    Arthur Abraham was widely considered the most powerful puncher in the Super 6 tournament. How far did that get him? Not very, because he isn't a puncher. Raw power needs a vehicle to land it, punchers vehicles are just as efficient as the power they deliver.:deal

    Yea I agree he did have great technique. I loved the guy as a fighter, not many if any made such a career out of highlight-reel KO's as he did, but when rating punchers I feel that the ones mentioned are above him overall. In a top 10 of mine, he'd be at about 6-8.
