    Who are some fighters that you can think of who have fought (win or lose) at least 5 or more fighters known for their dangerous power?

    Muhammd Ali is an obvious example when he fought Moore, Liston, Frazier, Foster, Foreman, Shavers.

    Duran had Leonard, Moore, Cuevas, Hagler, Hearns and Barkley. Leonard and Hagler probably didn't have that level of raw power, but combined with their skill it was very dangerous.

    Holy had Foreman, Tyson and Lewis. And while Bowe didn't have that level of power, it was still good and combined with his sharpness it made him dangerous.

    Lewis met plenty of bangers. Ruddock, Bruno, Morrisson, Briggs, Tua and Tyson. Vitaly was more of the attrition kind maybe than these guys, but he had heavy hands.

    James Tillis fought:
    Shavers
    Tyson
    Weaver
    Witherspoon
    Bruno
    Coetzee
    Gary Mason (26 kos in 27 wins at the time)
    Tommy Morrison

    and Holyfield and Pinklon Thomas who I don´t consider big punchers at the weight but certainly could cause damage.
