    And I don't mean a 60 year old Johnson.

    Im talking about a prime Johnson.

    James Earl Jones even pails in comparison

    Frank Bruno has a very deep voice and was a pretty good puncher.
    He wasn't really a killer though.

    Only the beloved, incongruous, lamblike Bruno!

    But, yes, killer is not a word that should be mentioned in the same sentence as B _ _ _ _.

    Nobody bullied Marciano, he was known as a very tough person, even before he was interested in boxing.

    Marciano knocked out the toughest black kid in the neighborhood, his name was Julian. It was a street fight that occured arguing over Rocky's friends stealing a baseball on a foul ball. Julian was giving rocky a good licking, until apparently rocky landed a Suzy Q roundhouse right and julian fell down, and didn't get back up.

    True but then you have Barry White as the counter-example :D

    It does seem funny that so many hard-hitters have high-pitched voices though.

    Joe Louis had a very heavy voice. He was a crisp baritone, and his voice only got deeper as he aged.

    Joe Frazier's trainer Yank Dorum had a really deep voice.

    George Foreman's voice is pretty average. So is Joe Frazier's. Both of them are tenors, though.

    Zab Judah. Nah, I guess he just tends to squeal from time to time.
