    Arguello, Gomez, and Bob Foster are right there too. I would go with Hearns off that list

    Archie Moore

    Stanley Ketchel

    Jack Dempsey.


    Imagine what Roy Jones could have been in this department if he'd had that killer instinct?

    Why so sure? FOr example Ketchel, who fought from middle-to heavy and against the best figher in the world has an almost indentical KO ratio. Against MUCH better competition including fights above his best weight he has three more fights and exactly the same number of KO's.

    From the list Foreman carried the best power he just wasnt as schooled as Tyson as to how to use it early on in his career, as George says he 'hadnt learnt his trade properly' (taking out Frazier / Norton like he did and he hadnt learnt his trade...oh my god)

    Otherwise gotta be Tyson.

    But the list had to have Archie 'knock ya out till the next day' Moore and of course Shavers.
