    Coetzee was a good fighter with a good right no doubt about it, Hw was a dentist, put teeth in at day, and knocked them out at night.

    Foreman had no snap...so hes a little overrated
    Tysons power overrated but he could set almost anyone up with his hook

    I thought Adonis Stephenson's power wasn't nearly as impressive as advertised. Tommy Morrison. Mike Tyson. Tommy Hearns. Gerry Cooney.

    I’m surprised to see people say Tyson. How many more one punch knockouts do you need to prove that your power’s legit

    Half the people on this thread are banned...

    Anyway. Gerrie Coetzee gets overrated on power.

    Lots of guys who swung for the fences and accumulated many losses also get overrated. If a Wlad Klit swung like Max Baer everytime out he would have crazy KO highlights but more losses and certainly no 10 year reign of dominance. Hell, if Ali sat down on his punches and disregarded return fire he would have had a lot more KO's.

    I didn't know that anyone regarded Vinny a puncher. (?)

    I've talked to at least 8 guys who sparred or fought old George who would vehemently disagree with you.

    Somehow he accomplished a modicum of power without your vaunted "snap".
