100 Greatest Punchers of All-Time (Ring Magazine, 2003)

Punching hard isn't all it's cracked up to be.
Many other factors on both sides play a role.
Foreman hits much harder than Ali, but it was Foreman who hit the canvas.

 

Depending on how well the rest of their career goes, Golovkin and Adonis might make it but they need to beat guys like Ward, Hopkins, Kovalev, Sergio etc

Mosley might make the bottom of the list
Anybody he lost to, the punch wasn't big enough and he couldn't KO Winky/Floyd despite the big shots

 

Arguments can be raised for many fighters being higher or lower. But a very impressive work by RING.

 

As Teddy Atlas says, u need a rocket to launch that bomb...

Takes more than just a big punch, it needs to be adequately set up

 

The good old days of The Ring prior to Golden Boy Promotions

They would prob have Canelo in their these days

 

Should never have been allowed to happen. Boxing's final impartial voice silenced.

 

That's why I give Saddler a good chance against Mayweather at featherweight. Saddler was long, had over 100 stoppages, a great beard and was dirty as hell.

 

Indeed and such a prodigious magazine too

Lord Lonsdale would be rolling in his Queensbury Rules grave

 

:deal

 

Joe Louis, rightful king here.

 

I had that Mag but my Girl mistakenly threw it away.

Her punishment was to wake me up with a blow job for the rest of the week.

The list is good theres some guys who could have made like Curtis Sheppard, Pat Barrett,Antonio Avelar, Jose Luis Pimentel but all in all its a good list and a great mag(Dumb *****).
