    Here's a top 20 composite punchers list I drew up a couple of months back. It's pound for pound.

    01 - Joe Louis

    02 - Sam Langford

    03 - Mike Tyson

    04 - Sonny Liston

    05 - Bob Fitzimmons

    06 - Sugar Ray Robinson

    07 - Sandy Saddler

    08 - Archie Moore

    09 - Jack Dempsey

    10 - Bob Foster

    11 - Thomas Hearns

    12 - Stanley Ketchel

    13 - Jimmy Wilde

    14 - Charley Burley

    15 - Rocky Marciano

    16 - Ruben Olivares

    17 - Rocky Graziano

    18 - Roy Jones Junior

    19 - Henry Armstrong

    20 - Ike Williams.


    I think there is a very real case for putting Tyson at #1 in real terms, if not pound for pound.
