    Actually the only guy on this list that could match foreman for pure power in a single shot was max baer .

    Why do I think that's intended for some people on this board?

    Complete dumbfvcks wrote that piece

    To date I have Shavers, Foreman, Wlad, Tyson, Ruddock in my top 5.

    The likes of Tua, Bruno, Liston and others are there too in terms of power

    You might want to make some allowance for the article being written in 1981!

    No doubt about it but top 5 is laughable and screams fanboy.

    I will put it this way.

    If you don't rate Ingo's power, then you must see some quality in him that I don't, because that right hand was all that he had!

    IMO, I'm not even sure Jeffries hit harder than Johnson. Johnson often fought with the cuffs on and preferred to play with his food. When he lets loose, I have a feeling he hit every bit as hard as Jeffries, if not harder. Who knows though, maybe you're right.
