    Julian Jackson was my first thought as well.

    Randall Bailey is up there.

    If he lands clean, you're probably going down.

    Earnie Shavers....

    Tex Cobb: "Nobody hits like Shavers. If anybody hit harder than Shavers, I'd shoot him."

    Tex Cobb: "Shavers could punch you in the neck with his right hand and break your ankle."

    Ron Lyle: "Hey man, that's the hardest I've ever been hit in my life and Foreman could punch. But none of them could hit like Earnie Shavers did. When he hit you, the lights went out. I can laugh about it now, but at the time.... it wasn't funny."

    Jackson and Hearns are my top two in no particular order.

    Trinidad gets an honorable mention here. His left hook was brutal...

    Jackson definitely. Shoutout: Nigel Benn, McClellan, Trinidad, Tyson, Liston, Foreman, Shavers, Tua, Pryor, Hearns, and Valero.

    If you look at Hearns' career you'll see that he kept his KO power (almost exactly the same KO ratio, if I remember correctly) as he moved up from 147-190. THAT'S P4P power.

    JCC's chin was amazing to stand up to Rosario. His defense was underrated also
