    Let me clarify: Which boxer do you think doesn't hit that hard despite having a plausible or respectable knockout record. For me, the first that comes in mind is Duane Bobick, In Chul Baek and Tony Fulilangi. If I were to name some elite, recognizable fighters, it would be George Chuvalo and Jorge Castro.

    Hammerin Hank Armstrong 1st name to pop in my head.
    He was a average, slightly above puncher.

    Yes they are. Shavers is the most overrated puncher in history.
    And Marciano was an attrition boxer.

    This is very true. His knockouts is consist of slowly grinding his opponents down. I'm confident that Hank is just and average puncher

    Interesting insight on how hard shavers and Marciano really hit from someone who would definitely know more than the guys who fought them
