    Hearns is very definitely an outside fighter and a pretty good puncher.

    Lennox Lewis, Wladimir Klitschko, Bob Foster, Ricardo Lopez, Julian Jackson, Roy Jones, Fred Fulton. Not all these guys were all the way outside fighters but they liked it there a lot and could really hit.

    Jack Johnson had a good punch. A very underrated puncher.
