Decent - yes, great - no. It's not like he had Bowe's defense, so most of these guys hadn't ever hit him with their best punches. Ruddock,...
Also, Cleveland Williams deserves to be mentioned as another possible top 5 punchers in Ali's resume. Also, interesting that Ali faced two LHW who...
Still, aside of Butler and probably Briggs all others (Rahman, McCall and even more so Golota, Mason and Vitali) were clearly inferior punchers...
Good calls, though I would definitely put Scmeling among 5 hardest punching Louis' opponents. Not only he KO'ed Louis himself, but he was also the...
Name me 5 hardest punchers (ranking them purely by one-punch raw power, not versatility, punching technique etc) these great heavyweights faced in...
Ali beat Norton quite clearly in the second fight. Close but clear
Ferocious against low-level opponents. Got completely annihilated by Ray Mercer and Michael Bentt. Also was lucky to get a draw against pre-prime...
Chris Byrd was the best of them
Who were the least skilled fighters among those who you consider genuine ATG?
By ATG LHW who was one of the greatest punchers of all time. Fortune, in comparison, was literally knocked out multiple times by bums
Holyfield vs Holmes Ibeabuchi vs Tua Leonard vs Hagler Hagler vs Duran

Rocky was light years better, tougher and more durable than 5'9" glass-jawed bum Justin Fortune who took better version of Lewis to 4th round. So...
Holyfield almost did it in the rematch while being way past his prime. But for Ricky I think it would be uphill battle.
