    Crusher, McCall, Baer, Ingo, Haye, Witherspoon?

    No idea how to rank Tim was he regarded as a huge puncher?

    Bruno said Witherspoon was one the three punchers that hit him harder than Mike Tyson.

    Huh- never knew. Honestly don’t watch a ton of HW and Tim was one of those 80s guys I didn’t really care about. I assumed he was an average puncher TBH

    Glad I'm not the only one who thinks Ingo should be rated higher.

    I just have one question. Why did you come up with this group and why do you wonder how people would rank these fighters?

    Is it the worst order we've got so far?

    The easy part-McCall & Haye were the last 2. Haye was explosive & you might not see the punches coming yet smaller framed...& McCall had a decent HW punch (& likely the best chin ever)-but neither were near top tier HW hitters.

    I am gonna put Ingo & Witherspoon about on a par as in the middle.
    Both had great overhand rights, Ingo was more known for his, but given his size & those he fought & KOed compared to the larger guys Tim fought, they are gonna be about the same.

    Baer & Bonecrusher are going to be the heaviest hitters. By reputation & effect.
    We know the devastation Baer could wreck, & Smith was among the very top smashers of modern sized HWs, so he could be #1. Anyway it is gonna be close.

    Whaddya all thunk of my logic here?
