Very seldom do we get to see actual hard hitters going at it often. Usually its a boxer vs puncher type fight where one guy plays the role of not to trade with the stronger guy. In no order but close to it .....Top 20. 1. Joshua / Klitchko ( will happen ) 2. Tyson / Ruddock 3. Morrison / Ruddock 4. Morrison /Lewis 5. Foreman vs Morrison 6. Tyson /Lewis 7. Ruddock /Lewis 8. Tua / Lewis 9. Lewis / V. Klitchko 10. Foreman /Cooney 11. Liston / Williams 15. Foreman /Lyle 16. Marciano / Louis 17. Foreman /Cooper 18. Cooney /Lyle 19. Marciano /Walcott 20. Lewis/ Golota
Louis - Galento could be mentioned as well. Galento was not an elite fighter but was highly popular among his working-class peer fans and widely renowned for "hitting like two tons of bricks".

Sanders vs Rahman was a fun fight featuring 3 official (and a 4th unofficial) knockdowns. I was cheering for Sanders but left impressed with Rahman's guts ... and punching power.
Forgot about Bruno and Lewis...Lewis fought the most big punchers in history in his career..Bruno/Morrison/Tyson/ Ruddock / Klitchko/Tua/ Golota/ Mercer. would have had Foreman too if he beat Briggs who also had a punch.
I often wonder if Sanders landed that uppercut in the center of the ring would Rahman have been able to get up in time...
