For now the list looks like this: 1. Bob Fitzsimmons 2. Julian Jackson 3. Sam Langford 4. Earnie Shavers 5. Jimmy Wilde 6. Bob Satterfield 7. Thomas Hearns 8. Sandy Saddler 9. Jack Dempsey 10. Roberto Duran 11. Randall Bailey 12. Ruben Olivares 13. George Foreman 14. Bob Foster 15. Edwin Rosario 16. Gerald McClellan 17. Sugar Ray Robinson 18. Max Baer 19. Lloyd Marshall 20. Alexis Arguello 21. Eugene Hart 22. Naseem Hamed 23. Cleveland Williams 24. Felix Trinidad 25. Herbie Hide 26. Joe Louis 27. Wilfredo Gomez 28. Manny Pacquiao 29. Archie Moore 30. Mike Tyson I'm still on my way to 100. Any opinion, thought and punchers I should add to this list would be highly appreciated. (tho I'm not gonna listen to all of them, I also have my own opinion too)
Very interesting, I will take some time to have a proper look later in my life. Terry McGovern is must add, blasted out the reigning bantam, feather and lightweight champs within a year of eachother and they all had excellent chins. He fought a feather named Aurelio Herrera who you should look at, unless you are film only, and that might be the two hardest p4p punchers ever to have met. McGoveren is a lock to the top 30 and possibly top 10. Further to that, so is Bob Foster IMO. He may have cracked more unique elite chins than any other fighter there has been, though Saddler was up there too I think. It is incredibly difficult and probably meaningless, but I think you are off to a good start.
I recently put Foster at around #19 and #20, but after knowing that he's the only guy who kayoed D!ck Tiger and Henry Hank made me respect his power so much more.
Duran was the first thing that stood out to me. Also, like him or not, Wilder probably deserves a better place on that list than Baer as far as heavyweights go.
Lloyd Marshall in the top 20 stuck out as a head scratcher. And if you're gonna have a glorified club fighter like Randall Bailey that high, you oughta look into Pat Barrett.
Yes he should be for sure. At lightweight he nearly decapitated people, when he moved up he was still a hard puncher just not like he was at lw. Also, Tyson, Foreman and Foster are too low.
You know who hit like an absolute ******* and got zero credit, ever, anywhere, Giovani Segura. He has knockouts at 108, 112, 115 and 126 and of 33 victories, 29 were by KO, spent a lot of time in with ranked guys, too. He had the boom boom. Dunno if he belongs on a top 50 all time, but it will get so meaningless after about 25 spots, doesn't matter...in fact, it's official, he's a top 100 puncher ever for me Jesus Pimentel is right around Olivares. He's not on your list, should be.
Missings Marciano Wilder Curtis Sheppard despite what you may think of these men they belong closer to top ten then out of the top 30.
I don't think it's a head scratcher. Lloyd Marshall is easily one of the hardest punchers I've ever seen. His destruction over Freddie Mills says all about it. Even greats such as Archie Moore, Charley Burley and Ezzard Charles said he hit extremely hard.
I don't about Wilder tho, people usually got mad if I even put him top 20, and I'll consider Curtis Sheppard. Don't know about Marciano.
