    Is this another vote for "George Foreman with a monocle" at number one?

    I may have to reconsider my list. To think of all the George Foreman's I left out... :think

    There are multiple common oponents between Shavers and Foreman who say Shavers was the harder puncher.

    Old Foreman's power is very overrated. I watched him tee off on Crawford Grimsley the other day for 12 rounds without being able to put him down. Average Heavyweight Jimmy Thunder knocked out Grimsley in just 13 seconds, with 1 punch! LMAO.

    I too am in a glass case of emotion when I realize how awesome all the versions of Foreman's power are. Every version is a top ten. They even put the monocled version on Sports Illustrated magazine because they know. ...They know.

    "Everybody says I'm a hard puncher, but I've only been compared to taco-eating Foreman's power. Don't get me wrong, that's still a huge compliment, but I've been hoping to get up to monocled Foreman's power." ~ Earnie Shavers, 1978's Sports Illustrated

    Suzie, you dink. Foreman got an UNDEFEATED Grimsley and then Thunder stole George's thunder in what was essentially round 13 of the Foreman fight. What if Bob Fitzsimmons beat the hell out of Corbett for 13 rounds and then they let Vitali Klitschko step in for the fourteenth and he took Corbett out right there? You going to tell us how overrated Fitz's power was? :-(
