Best Puncher of all time p4p

I would agree, Jackson deserves an obvious mention. He did however only prove his power at 154 & 160, though I'm sure he could of carried it up further.

 

I don't know how you can put Sam Langford in a list of best punchers of all time p4p, decent KO record when matched against his wins - not so good when matched against all of his fights: 295 fights, 130 KO's.

I know he went up to heavyweight but i still feel he doesn't deserve to be mentioned, not to say he isn't one of the best fighters P4P.

See my other post for reasons why I rank him so highly. :good

 

P4P I'd say Hearns. He kod opponents from 140 to 190.

 

Julian Jackson

 

Yeah but that's probably because he fought a ridiculous amount of fights. In an era when probably not a lot of the men he fought were training all that well etc. His ko% was only about 40%.

To be honest though I have only seen a couple of his clips on youtube (where he didn't look all that great at all) so, you probably know better than me.

 

The Acorn is an over rated puncher, he doesn't belong in the best hitters list, not even in the heavyweight division.

If Ron Burgunday says it, its the truth! Does the same go for George "Lennox Lewis would rip my head off" Foreman?

 

Nigel Benn

 

Works both ways my man. If his opponents weren't training well, then he probably wasn't either. His KO percentage is low because of the amount of losses he has, many which were dives, and because of 'pre-arranged' draws. He was a natural welterweight though as I said, former lightweight, and he KO'd a top 20, arguably top 10 HW of all-time in Harry Wills. :good

 

Very true. Although, I'd wager he did train more than the average boxer back then, as he was obviously talented and would try and make the most of it.

 

Just to comment, for what he achieved Langford is certainly a top 10 all-time P4P puncher, if not a guaranteed top 5 IMO. Putting him at #1 is perfectly reasonable as far as I'm concerned.
