    Archie Moore is best known, of course, as a height heavyweight (and to a lesser degree heavyweight) but he campaigned for a good while at 160 and he knocked out a goodly percentage of his opposition there (although he didn’t face as many top guys at middle).

    Worth a mention.

    They're just too old for me to actually judge them. Besides there's barely any footage Fitz and Langford. Yes they can punch but I just wanna rank the guys that I could see. No hard feelings

    Jackson. Ridiculously overpowered punches.
