    Discuss who you think are the best knockout artists in the sport's history. I'm mainly basing my list on one-punch and finishing ability.

    1. Julian Jackson
    2 Joe Louis
    3. Rocky Marciano
    4. Archie Moore
    5. Mike Tyson
    6. George Foreman
    7. Tommy Hearns
    8. Sam Langford
    9. Sonny Liston
    10. Sandy Saddler

    I know he's thought of as more of a boxer puncher, but should Sugar Ray not be on any list?

    Zarate is often forgotten when lists like this are compiled. But have a look at his first 40 or so fights in particular. Only about one opponent went the distance. He was a one man demolition squad.

    Bob Fitzsimmons probably deserves some consideration also!
