Ezzard Charles should be remembered as a great puncher at light-heavyweight. But he's not. Roy Jones was an ATG puncher. That gets overlooked a lot.
Toney couldn`t hurt Thornton, but Jones stopped Thornton in two rounds, plus Toney has a lot of fights that didn`t finish in the early rounds.
Not mentioning a great fighter here but Ross Purity was a dangerous guy for someone who is commonly labeled as a mere journeyman. I think he hit pretty hard
That's a lame argument Mark. So by your rational James Toney is a harder puncher than George Foreman. Toney stopped Holyfield but Foreman couldn't. To many variables to judge power. Jones speed was his power. Toney's came from counterpunching.
Bazooka Limon. He was an arm puncher I suppose, but when he flailed at guys it had a very definite effect.
