    G-Man was the hardest puncher by far (28 of 29 ko's in 3 rounds or less!!) and probably the best chin. He walked through Jackson twice and Ive read he walked through Hearns during sparing.

    Nigel Benn had sickening power at 160. They are all huge punchers but I look a the number of one punch KOs and victory's in less than one round a fighter has.

    Gotta go with Benn the guys power was crazy. Jackson would be a close second.

    McClellan won by KO 29 out of his 31 wins... with 20 first round KO's... and his first round KO's were still happening against top level guys, not just tomato cans on his way up.

    Just look at the footage of the KO's .... Benn had great power, but he didn't put top guys completely "asleep" like Gman did... you guys seem to be just picking Benn because of a bias, he didn't even campaign at 160 during his championship years, he was mostly at 168.

    Still, Jackson had more power than G-Man...problem was, he was nearly blind to punch accurate enough...

    Yea Jackson probably had better power than G-man, but Benn is clearly not in this argument, he didn't even fight top guys at 160

    Agreed. Benn is one of my all time favourite ighters, but watching his fight with the G-man, even though Benn won, it was clear his punching power was nowhere near Mclellans.

    My mistake, I forgot that he fought them around 1990.
