Thanks for your question. I wouldn't want anyone to misconstrue my answer. I have never really understood how anyone can rate punching power from...
I agree with everything except "Maybe he really was THE hardest puncher of all time ..."
I'll stick with Torres-Cotton for 1966.

Didn't Frank Stokes play a Stella?
Nice list. I have no quibbles. Others that might deserve consideration are Braddock, McCarty, Rinty Monaghan (sic?). There must be others but I...
