    Haye for Cruiserweight. He's a **** but he was a big puncher at that weight.

    I wouldnt argue with that but personally, I'd have Sellers over Haye because the guy had freakishly heavy hands. Both were/are massive punchers :good

    Light-welter: Kostya Tszyu seems to stand out but are Kendall Holt & Miguel Cotto worth a mention?

    Superfeather: Takashi Uchiyama?

    Supermiddle is a tricky one, maybe Kessler?

    in terms of pure power yes, but Cotto is a better puncher overall, Holt only has a left hook, mathysse is up there
