Can you name some extremely hard punchers that had very little muscle mass?

    So Guys like Tyson, Foreman, Earnie Shavers etc had alot of muscle, and hit as hard as hell.

    But what about fighters who had little muscle for their division but still hit as hard as hell? For example I believe foreman faced only a few true punchers in his time and one of them was a white guy, and he didnt have much muscle at all and yet still foreman said he got hit by him so hard he couldnt even feel it. (yes thats right he was hit so hard it must have shocked / overloaded his nervous system or something and he couldnt feel anything, it was that hard)

    I believe rocky had tree trunk legs. So he had the muscle where it counted imo.

    Julio is a good choice!

    Id have to say as far as shocking power Hearns and Holmes....Holmes never looked all that great, but had power in both hands and a jab that would knock down a tree.
