The Marciano, Dempsey, Langford, Wilder thread got me thinking who is it? I've narrowed my own down to these, with more credit for beating bigger guys This content is protected This content is protected I think Fitsimmons and Langford are clearly the top 2, in any order. But the rest are pretty hard to rank. Any I missed? Your own rankings?
Barbados Walcott deserves a mention. Fitz is my 1st choice, with Langford as a second. Joe Louis is top 10 ever even p4p.
Confined to those I saw in my lifetime live or live on Tv Lopez and Cuevas #1 Duran Arguello Saad Muhammad Frazier Foreman Hearns Mugabi Tyson Colin Jones
Pfp more powerful punchers than Duran; Joe Louis Stanley Ketchel Archie Moore Sugar Ray Robinson Bob Foster Alexis Arguello Shaves, Foreman, Tyson too. Though heavyweights are hard to rate pfp
1. Sam Langford 2. Bob Fitzsimmons 3. Joe Choynski 4. Jimmy Wilde 5. Julian Jackson 6. Bob Foster 7. Stanley Ketchel 8. Gerald McLellan 9. Earnie Shavers 10. Thomas Hearns Or, something like that. I've probably forgotten a couple.

Their have been plenty devastating punchers during the long history of boxing. Noticed no one mentioned R.Olivares , or C.Zarate , D. "Little Red Lopez. J.Garza stopped his 1st 40 or so opponents. "Caveman" Lee is another name not mentioned was another viscous puncher. Of course G.Foreman and G.Cooney R.Lyle. M.Johnson at light heavy. No one mentioned M.Tyson , M.Spinks (Light heavy) K,Galaxy, Duran at lightweight, some of the names not mentioned off the top of my head. The hardest puncher p4p? Probably J.Jackson, his ko's were more of the fights over type , as opposed to the ref stops the contest variety.
