Best powerpunchers in history per division?

I got to think about this one, thats tough:yep

 

Heavyweight: Earnie Shavers
Cruiserweight: David Haye (Rocky Marciano if you want to count him as a CW)
Light Heavyweight: Bob Foster
Super Middleweight: Nigel Benn or Gerald McClellan
Middleweight: Gerald McClellan
Light Middleweight: Julian Jackson
Welterweight: Thomas Hearns
Featherweight: Naseem Hamed (or Sandy Saddler)
Super Bantamweight: Wilfredo Gomez
Bantamweight: Carlos Zarate
Strawweight: Ricardo Lopez

I'll think about the lower weight classes that I missed...

 

Great list, I would change Bob Foster with Michael Moorer, but thats it.:good

 

Good call - I'd say he was the best "puncher," but I forgot about Naseem Hamed at FW.

 

Bob Fitzsimmons at Middle and Light Heavy,

 

No lightweight division?

And how about taking Kelly Pavlik into consideration for middleweight?

 

Great List, but I would put Arguello at Feather, and you forgot Lightweight. I might have to put Rosario there, plus I would say Sammy Langford would get the nod at 160.

 

At Lightweight? Edwin Rosario

 

He's right up there in both weight classes, but I haven't seen much footage of him to say he hit harder than Gerald McClellan at 160 or Bob Foster at 175.

 

He was never more than a middleweight and he consistently knocked heavyweight contenders, including Tom Sharkey. Here's an interestin piece of information.

I'd also contend that Stanley Ketchel was a harder punching middleweight than Mclellan, looking at both of their records, even though there's no good footage of Ketchel.

 

Jimmy Wilde at flyweight.
