    I think Shavers is overrated against really good fighters. Not a 1 punch knockerouter.

    Wow!
    Good question!
    #1 Hearns very few fighters in history has KO'ed as many fighters considered "granite chinned "
    #1B Arguello, if their is a such a thing as a "perfect right cross " Arguello had it.
    #1C Duran, hooking or cross or uppercut, each effective, each he KO'ed a fighter with.
    #2 D. Lopez, great right hand power.
    #3 M.Saad Mohammed, most times he was at war, his right hand saved him many times.
    #4 W.Gomez, at his best fighting weight was lethal with any shot.
    #5 G.Foreman, he actually lifted a over 200lbs man off his feet with a right hand.
    #6 J.Jackson possibly the hardest punching fighter in history with any power punch.
    #7 J.Mugabi his right hand was not as smooth as most fighters above him. But effective.
    #8 E.Rasario a viscous right hand puncher, just ask the" Coconut Head".
    #9 M.Tyson right hook to the body, followed by a right uppercut, beautiful and viscous.
    # 10 R.Leonard, underrated power, usually overlooked because of his combo punching,
    But film don't lie, he KO'ed many with his cross .
