    Lovely list pal. :thumbsup :thumbsup

    i love to see Ray Mercer getting a mention - he proved his Mega-Power when he KTFO of Tommy Morrison And Francesco Damiani. It mad to watch gigantic Mercer haymakers bounce off teh chin of Lennox Lewis for 10rounds - it proves Lennox had a pure iron-chin. :deal

    Ron Lyle is a super mention - he proved his Ultra-Power when he knocked-down teh iron-chinned of George Foreman 2times.

    i love too see Rahman on power lists to - Hasim proved he had Uber-Power when he KO'd Correy Sanders And teh Iron-chinned Lennox Lewis.

    Were do Tommy Morrison, Oliver MCcall , Rocky Marciano , Shanon Briggs, Zeljko Mavrovic And Joe Louis rank for power for you mate??

    This version of George Foreman will knock you senseless. He belongs between 5-8.

    McCall was going to be high but i gave Mercer just ahead of him. Briggs would get a good shout in it but i dont know how consistantly he has this big power , even in his prime it didnt seem to be somthing he always had although i do like his power. Morrison would maybe get a mention it was good , not sure it is much better than Briggs usual power. Louis had good power but i dont know enough about his opposition to rate their chins.

    For his weight Marciano had incredible power and i think bring the exact Marciano in today,even with his nutrition and training, and he becomes the greatest CW of all time and tears up the devision. I am not a big fan of the "under modern training and nutrition" argument but say we use it and he carries up well to 205/210 then i think he is a devastating swamer with great power , certainly enough to KO a good chin after his previous punches start totaling up.

    Mavrovic had good power but we failed to see it (other than the Lewis fight) against greade A oppostion.

    His RD1 KO over Salita does show great power. It took McCall 4 rounds to get a TKO over a much more past it Salita, we dont realy knwo hwo good his chin was though because other than Mavrovic his only other good opposition was McCall.

    Its still crazy to me that Mavrovic retired after the Lewis fight he was a good prospect and that was his first loss.

    Lewis seemed to handle his power with no problem ... Mavronic took an exceptional punch .. Lewis hit him with bombs and the man did not budge ..

    I know his chin is good but we are talking about power. Lewis taking his power dosent show us much he took many peoples power well who have great power.

    In the Rahman fight he was ill prepared and hadnt trained. McCall fight he took a perfect shot that he wasnt ready for and was KOed. Both fighters who KOed Lewis have the power to potentialy KO anyone if they land a perfect clean punch.
