    Goerge Foreman & Pipino Cuevas come to mind . The only two fighters to actually brake the metal brackett on the speed bag @ Gleasons Gym in New York. Now that is fearsome power!

    Disagree. Shavers did not have one punch knockouts on film vs hall of fame fighters and top contenders the way Marciano and Hearns did.

    Joe Louis gets my vote. Foster and Julian Jackson are up there too, as well as Danny Lopez.

    certainly hard to argue with that evidence:good i hate watching it but hearns knockout of duran was beautiful. marciano destruction of walcott was calm, clinical and thorough

    In terms of pure power it has to be Jackson.
