    Boots' power is somewhat overlooked. IMO he's probably an even scarier puncher than Spence.

    I totally agree. I realize any world class Bantamweight would work me over despite the fact they're the same size as 8th graders. I just find it ood though that anybody could think Inoue punches harder than Beterbiev p4p. I know for a 100% fact that a Beterbiev right cross to the noggin against a fellow LHW will do far more damage than an Inoue right cross to a Bantamweight noggin. Let both men load up a shot on an opponent. Beterbiev's shot does mroe damage.

    Spence is in no way, shape or form a devastating puncher. All but two of his wins over world class competition are career 140s or blown up 135s he's naturally bigger and stronger than. He's a volume guy who has big man power.

    Somewhat the same applies to Benavidez but his power is more concussive than Spence's P4P

    Spence, Boots, Ortiz Jr and Benavidez don't belong on this list. Especially not Spence. Spence doesn't even have a great KO ratio, Ennis is talented but unproven at the top level. Ortiz same as before and I think his stoppages look like they partly come from accumulation.

    Top of the list has to be Beterbiev then Innoue. Beterbiev because he's stopping people that don't get stopped. Innoue's power is rare because fighters that small rarely produce so many KO's.

    Wilder deserves to be on the list too.

    And AJ is 250 lbs so why aren't you picking him instead?

    Beterbiev right cross to the noggin will wobble and drop any man walking this planet.

    Funny how many, to this day, are still so loath to give Dusty Nichols credit for his vicious KO power and silky slickness.

    30 years from now Dusty will be remembered with the same reverence as sluggers from bygone eras like Lyle and Shavers.

    Fury was dropped by a far weaker puncher in Cunningham.

    Inoue.

    Beterbiev puts EVERYTHING into his shots. Inoue has done serious damage with ultra short punches that look like there's not a lot of force behind them.

    Like the super short hook in the second round that scrambled Nonito's brains and caused him to go jelly-legged.

    I can't wait until he smokes MJ and Fulton.
