    A true puncher is the rarest of breeds. Vicious killers that can destroy an opponent and leave them lifeless with one thunderous shot.

    Not all were great boxers but most earned a fearsome reputation while fans and opponents alike gazed in awe at their ability to deliver such destructive force with their fists. Determining the rank and order of this all-time list was an arduous task, merely speculative at best and completely subjective.

    Please keep in mind that this is a composite list of the 100 hardest punchers ever. Rocky Marciano–always the obligatory example for any of these comparative studies–certainly never threw a punch as powerful and as heavy as the offensive juggernauts of the modern eras.

    We are talking about giants like Lennox Lewis, Wladimir Klitschko and Deontay Wilder. The argument in favor of Marciano was that no other Heavyweight his size could have generated the same amount of force in his punches, particularly his pulverizing right cross. And had he weighed anywhere near what the others did, there would be no discussion.

    It's currently my go to bathroom read. Top 100 punchers of the last 100 years. Mostly anecdotes I've heard a thousand times but the packaging is good and I can't cross the bridge that allows me to take my phone to my constitutional.
