    The OP said "small for the division," but maybe I misinterpreted it. Louis wasn't small in his day, but historically as a heavyweight. A monstrous puncher for a 205-210lb man.

    I know that. But even in the 70s, 80s, and 90s Louis would have been no shrimp.

    Well it's the 2000's. Lewis, Bowe, Klits. Joshua etc etc etc.

    The thing is, for a 200lb man Louis hit IMMENSE.

    Rodrigo Valdes wasn't the biggest of middleweights but hit like a ton of bricks. Graziano was the same.

    From left field and of a lower resume was Tony Baltazar Jr. He had ballistic power in that left hook.

    Bob Fitzsimmoms was very small for a HW and yet very few could rival his power.
