    At heavy? Probably Shavers hit harder punch for punch.

    I too would go with Shavers with Big George a close second.

    Heavyweight - George Foreman (knocked out better opposition than Shavers)
    P4P - Julian Jackson (scary knockout after scary knockout)

    If he's not at the top, he certainly makes the top 3.

    Foreman, Cooney and Shavers are all pretty close. Sanders could be up there as well.

    I have to go with Earnie Shavers,Shavers stunned and hurt Ali real bad and almost stopped him in the 2nd rd of their fight and last the distance wit Ali losing a very close decision

    Because he was more of a combination puncher in terms of power, than a one punch KO artist. Lewis on the other hand could be mentioned. His one punch KO of Rahman was a thing of beauty, as was that upper cut against Grant, albeit, he had a glove behind his head, which certainly added to the impact of the punch.

    Iron Mike was a powerful puncher,But I believe Foreman and Shavers hands were a bit more heavy then Tysons
