    Jackson for me is one of if not THE hardest puncher P4P, but G-man is a close 2nd. I went for RJJ in 3rd mainly based on his 160-168lb fights where I think only 1 person managed to go the distance or something ridiculous? Either way that's pretty frightening. Benn was close, it was a tossup with him and Roy and Eubank is at the bottom of the list, but had a lot of pop when he wanted to be the aggressor.

    Going to have to disagree with that one.

    Jones had better speed, technique etc. but the question was who had the most raw power. Jones never brutalised lesser opponents in the way that Benn did.

    He definitely had the more raw power out of the pair, and masses of it too.

    Who did RJJ knockout with one punch -- keep in mind the elite fighters he fought.

    What exactly does being "elite" have to do with being able to take a shot exactly?
