    In terms of delivery and accuracy he was a great puncher. I was talking about pure power with everything I said in my last post, so I guess we agree. Even though Leonard wasn't floored by Duran in their first fight he complimeted his power, he said "Duran landing his punches on me was like getting his hit with bricks"

    Louis at 1 is a good choice

    The footage of Langford is terrible at best & its an utter disgrac aswell as sheer carelessness that they found time to film this footage of Sam but have got more or less 0 footage of the best ever p4p boxer at his best when there where many other fights filmed at that time (SRR at 147 of course, so sad.)

    I started to think that Duran was a bigger puncher than we generally give him credit for a while back, People like to pass him off as simply an accumulation puncher just because he hit you with plenty of shots. That was just his workrate and his style, he could turn the tide with one big punch, and finish a man in the same way.

    P4P I think Ketchel was the hardest hitting boxer ever Fitzsimmon's just "punched like he wanted to kill you you" ever time he threw.

    Joe is a beautiful puncher with either hand. The true 'pure puncher' if ever there was one. Straight out of the textbook...
    His knockouts are like technical poetry.
