    Not at all. My list is based on the opinions of other heavyweight fighters who fought these same guys. In fact, I like both Jerrys, Cooney & Quarry, Dempsey, Marciano, Tunney, Braddock and Jim Jeffries despite the racism during his time.

    I don't think any of these guys belong in the top 5 hardest hitting heavyweights of all time. Shavers, Foreman and Liston are arguably the top three hardest heavyweight punchers. You can argue all day who belongs at numbers 4 and 5, and where Lennox Lewis fits into the equation. Ali, Lyle, and Larry Holmes all said Shavers was the hardest puncher they've ever faced.

    If this was a top ten, I'd include Dempsey and Marciano, along with Frazier, Joe Louis.
