    Rank them 1-10, and if you've got the time, in other ways as well.

    Who had the most power in both hands.

    Who maintained their power the best throughout their fights.

    Who did so the worst.

    Go!

    Hard to say. The 1990's were loaded with big punchers.

    Based on pure power, I'd still rank Foreman right up there.

    You think Wladimir hits harder than Morrison?

    Hmm. I think he had more power later in a fight, more "sustained" power...

    I think Morrison's more powerful early on, anyway.

    Sanders is pretty low there as well.

    Just playing devils advocate. I'm curious to hear differing opinions on this.

    The 1990s should include Razor Ruddock, Frank Bruno. And why not Tyson ?

    I never understand the Herbie Hide thing. He gets a lot of people on here loving up his power. Ok, he was a good quick puncher, but I think Micheal Moorer and Evander Holyfield were more proven punchers.

    Yeah, Moorer, Bruno ,Ruddock etc. should definitely be there. Tyson obviously. Probably Cooper too, if power is the only requirement.

    I'll post a list later.
