    My vote would go to Ken Norton. From wiki...

    "Norton was an outstanding athlete at Jacksonville High School. He was a member of the state championship football team and was selected to the all-state team on defense as a senior in 1960. His track coach entered him in eight events and Ken placed first in all. As a result, the "Ken Norton Rule" was instituted in Illinois high school sports which limits participation of an athlete to a maximum of three track and field events. After graduating from high school, Norton went to Northeast Missouri State University (now Truman State University) on a football scholarship and studied elementary education"

    Just on physique (no homo) Mike Weaver deserves a mention. Never lifted weights just thousands of pressups & other floor exercises

    Thomas Hearns..

    Great power, probably the hardest hitter of all time @147 and 154

    Very good speed

    Great fluid movements

    Great abillity to deliver leverage


    Overall a fast explosive puncher with a 6"1" frame, fighting @147.. What a specimen he was
