    The obvious are pretty much covered but i reckon Charlie Burley would have had a fair punch when around the weight, which was probably his best natural weight.

    On a less successful level of practitioner Gary Guiden and Charlie Weir, both Davey Moore victims, had a pretty decent wallop.

    Davey Moore could punch.
    Matthew Hilton could as well.

    Carpenter was a clown. One of the worst commentators ever.

    It would have been interesting Ayala vs. Hearns or Duran, as far as the legends, and Moore and even Drayton. I think Hearns and Duran beat him.. Duran would have been made for the Ayala style.

    Yes,I think Mugabi belongs here rather than in the similar middleweight thread.

    I have no idea why i didn't mention SRR. He had big power all the way from 147-160.
