    Joe Louis
    SRR
    Hearns

    These 3 are probably the best examples of speed and cold power.

    Absolutely, particularly SRR. We have a fool on another thread who claims Ray left himself " wide open " because he is too stupid to understand he could encourage the other idiot to commit themselves, just so that he could knock them out. All the while giving away up to 1 stone ( 14lbs ) in weight.

    By the way the same fool believes that SRR has ZERO chance of beating Floyd ( the coward ) Mayweather. You know, the same Floyd Mayweather that would rather eat his own ****, than fight a Fillipino squirt, that has pumped himself from Flyweight.

    I certainly would not call Ali a monstrous puncher at any point in his career. Hagler I don't feel had sickening speed or monstrous power. He was quick and hit hard, but for me he doesn't really fit the bill in either department.

    Oscar De La Hoya at the lower weights. witness his mutilation of Chavez

    Ray Robinson, a bludgeoning puncher and the greatest combination puncher ever along with Hearns (154 pound version)

    Dempsey, Mcgovern and of course Terry Norris. before opponents could even THIN K, he had them in trouble or on the canvas (Gatti, Mugabi)

    please dont brng up his chin or I will bring up the fact that it was Leonard on the canvas both time in their fight (u can't win on this one)

    Julian Jackson's handspeed was very good and he hit like a truck so he belongs.

    Camacho? He was lightning fast but even at 130 I wouldn't call his power any more than moderate.
