    Earnie Shavers
    Rocky Marciano hed be a cruiser today but Sellers was a good shout too.
    Bob Foster
    Roy Jones or Anwun Echols but he wasnt top sm long enough
    Gerald Mccellan
    Julian Jackson
    Thomas Hearns Or Pipino Cuevas and Robinson is right there too.
    Randall Bailey ???
    Edwin Rosario but u can make argument for Ike Williams even Oscar,Arguello
    Alexis Arguello
    Danny Lopez or Sandy Sadler
    Wilfredo Gomez
    Ruben Olivares
    Khaosai Galaxy
    Jimmy Wilde but in modern times i like Danny Romero
    Michael Carbajal - Chiquita Gonzalez think they had equall power i think Giovanni Segura has power like that but lets wait a bit on that one
    Ricardo Lopez

    Gomez had nowhere near the punching power that Garza did, in my opinion. He really wasn't even that big a puncher as far as single shot power is concerned (the one-off Kobayashi KO notwithstanding). He was just a great combination puncher, and far superior on the whole to Garza.

    Good points i agree a strong argument can be made for Jaime Garza, but i still think Gomez was a very hard puncher at JF... Another guy i was tempted to name was Manny pacquiao,although he wasnt at JF too long. But Manny hit very hard at JF too.

    All these guys had never been knocked down (that i can remember) and none of them had ever been stopped.

    Peter
    Chambers *The ringside doctor said he actually stopped breathing for about 15-20 seconds and he was about to start to try resuscitating him but Chambers started breathing on his own again*
    Chagaev
    Thompson
    Brewster
    Brock
    Mercer
    Schultz

    *Byrd only stopped once and was known for having a very good chin.


    Name someone who is more proven at HW.
