100 Greatest Punchers of All-Time

the only thing i'd change is put Joe Calzaghe in the top 3.

 

I think it's the same reason why guys like Aaron Pryor would be left off this list. Pacquiao relies on the accumulation of punches to wear down his opponents, that crushing knockout of Hatton notwithstanding. He takes a barrage of punches to do to opponents, what some of the guys on this list were able to do with one well-timed, well-placed shot.

It takes into account things like accuracy, timing, and placement, rather than the sheer power behind a person's punches. That's my guess.

 

Nonsense.

 

Awesome, although it's kind of hard to tell what kind of criteria they used on that list, because there are cerain guys who are ranked higher who were harder punchers than fighters ranked below them, but weren't necessarily more ffective punchers as they didn't KO as many good fighters as those ranked below.

Also, some of those mentioned in that list weren't truly big, one punch knockout artists.

Overall a very flawed list IMO.

 

Roy Jones at 89? The credibility of this list got destroyed.

 

the list may not be great but the issue is an AWESOME read. For every fighter it gives you their best punch, best knockout, guy they couldn't knock out, when their punch didn't help them win a fight and how they were as a fighter overall. Really worth a look if you can grab a copy.

 

In that case I wont argue with Louis at no1.

 

not as bad as no nigel benn a massive over sight

 

nigel's there but at like 91 or something atsch

 

Yes he is. Definitely. Robinson was a wicked puncher. And he could knock guys out with any punch in the book.

 

im happy that the tuaman is there...i still like the tuaman compared to his new moniker

 

Its really hard to qualify something like this.

Really there probably isnt much difference between the bloke at number 30 and the blokes in the top 5.

 

agreed, its not clear what attributes the judge to determine the "best punchers". defintealy dosent seem accurate
