    Heavyweight: Earnie shavers

    Cruiserweight: idk but maybe gassiev or evander.

    Light heavyweight: Bob foster

    Super middleweight: Roy Jones

    Middleweight: Julian Jackson

    I'd give manny pacquiao anyone bellow middleweight, his punch p.s.i. is shocking close to Anthony joshua's score.

    When was the last time PAC knocked anyone out. Everyone has been going the distance with him.

    Because that is a very reputable source as to what kind of power is applicable and most devestating in an actual boxing match, correct?

    You make it sound like there's some actual correlation in reality that punching hard on a static machine has ever been any sort of legitimate indicator of anything at all.

    I doubt that if Pac could punch nearly as hard as AJ if there was big money on the line.
    AJ winds up for the kind of country fair shot that Pac must need to get close...Then it is not comparable anymore.

    A solid list here, mate. I tend to think of Joe Choynski or Bob Fitzsimmons as the hardest puncher at SMW though. Look forwad to checking out Oganov. Definitely exposed my knowledge gap there. Cheers
