    Povetkin is just one from the 10 when "loads" was the claim tho.

    Toney would be a no brainer given he was a middleweight and super middle.

    1.Jeffries never wrote an autobiography
    2.Jeffries carefully examined the handwraps in the ring, before the fight.
    3.Fitz's gloves were put on in the ring and Brady, Jeffries manager examined them before Fitz pulled them on.
    Ever think of doing research? Just a thought

    He knows! He just likes to blend immaturity with a subtle hint of elitist snobbery and of course bad grammar.

    You mean a hard puncher but a bad finisher?

    Marciano weighed 189lbs, Foster weighed under 175 Foster`s knockouts looked more dramatic than some of Marciano`s, they were cleaner and his punches had more snap but Marciano`s were heavier and blundgeoned his opponents until they wilted.

    Not a description I have heard before about Shavers. I am not sure he was a poor finisher. But a bit limited skill wise against top tier competition and not able to land flush with maximum power against top level comp.

    I am going to change the title of the thread you moaned about to finishers, I mentioned Duran not looking powrful enough to be on a vid about the top 10 punchers, but he was one of the top 10 finishers of all time, P4P he was a far better finisher than Shavers I feel.

    Idk hard to gauge power. Some KOs come from speed, swarming exhaustion/attrition, punches u don’t see coming, combos, one punch power, competition, exc. can’t just pick one or five for that matter lol.

    There's more to studying history than just randomly believing some claims over contradicting ones with better evidence.

    Well what you said was the below -

    What rankings were you talking about then and what "loads" of guys would you put forward?

    you could have two guys hit a punch measuring machine and have Fighter A come out clearly ahead. But in the ring, if Fighter B can deliver his power better i.e. catching somebody with a punch they didn't see.. use of angles etc etc... Who really has more power? The guy who hit the machine the hardest in a static environment, or the guy who gets the better results in the ring?

    About rankings of major sanctioning bodies?
    It's hard to say, as just by looking it isn't always easy to tell how much fat someone is carrying, I'd put forward these guys as candidates.

    Tom Schwarz
    Agit Kabayel
    Dereck Chisora
    Ali Eren Demirezen
    Kyotaro Fujimoto
    Adam Kownacki
    Andy Ruiz Jr
    Sergey Kuzmin
    Manuel Charr
    And I don't know why these guys are ramked but.
    Guillermo Jones
    Dillon Carman
    Trevor Bryan

    Maybe Junior Fa and Richird Lartey too, but not enough to tell.
