my top 10 p4p punchers ever

I don't think there is much difference between their p4p punching power. Should it be taken into account the physical sizes of both fighters in their respective divisions? Hearns was of course a massive WW and you would expect some advantages against the WW division power wise.

Naz on the other hand was small for a featherweight yet still had the one punch power to KTFO of most his larger opponents.

If these factors matter when deciding who was the bigger p4p puncher then i could see why Naz could be above Hearns.

But obviously No.2 is too high for Naz

 

I agree on Arguello though, my favourite puncher of all-time too, the KO of Kevin Rooney is frightening!!

 

How highly would you rate Mclellan as a hard hitter mate ?

 

When I'm deciding on punching power, I make my decision on punching power. It doesn't matter if someone is tall for their weight division or short, IMO Hearns hit harder at his weight division than Naz did at his, thus Hearns should be above Naz in p4p punching stakes IMO.

 

Sensational. Not quite as evil as Julian Jackson, but the next tier down sort of thing. He does merit inclusion in this discussion IMO, but I think he would fall short of a top 10. I ****ing adore a brutal bodypuncher though, don't you??

 

****ing right i do . It's an art form.
Maybe a list of best bodypunchers is in order ?

 

I think G-Man was a hard hitter, a mix of speed and brute force that you don't see very often. He had very damaging punches that would make opponents not want to get up.

But Nigel Benn had more one-punch K.O power, but I think part of that is because his hooks and uppercuts were so unexpcted....thrown when he looked like he was about to go down :hi: is what would then happen to the opponents.

G-Man was more of a boxer-puncher who could turn it on when he needed too, or when he wanted too (see the 2nd Jackson fight) whereas Benn was more of a puncher in the sense that in a lot of his fights he would've been down and out without his ability to punch.

I wouldn't know quite where to rank them in accordance with each other, but I'd probably have Gerald just above Benn in my top 20 (smewhere towards the 15-20 mark for both)

 

Earnie Shavers has to be on any list of punchers.

 

.............Interesting list, but I'd swap out Gomez for Foster or Shavers. Gomez was more of an accumulation puncher who wore fighters down with consistency and accuracy. His one-punch power wasn't as good as this list would make one think.

 

No love for Tzsyu? I think he creeps into a top ten list

 

Now this issue then leaves me confused, this whole p4p thing.

When considering p4p fighters can move from 154 to 160 easily, or 160 - 168 easily. I get confused because they can merge so easily.

An example i would choose to demonstrate this is julian jackson, at almost 6" he was a big 154 and average 160. Had KO power in both divisions.

So when comparing him to mcclellan and benn who were at 160 - 168 should we consider all 3 equal or say jackson was in the lower weight div and so that should be a factor.???

someone please help explain!!

 

Good to see Tyson so high, the guy was unique. Somewhat surprised to see Jones Jnr though . No Hearns but Hagler ? Maybe i need to look up " composite " ?

 

cant argue with that....good research.
