Per boxing rec

"Blinded by blood from cuts over both eyes, Russell knocked out Choynski after the bell and was disqualified. The fight had been a rough one throughout, both men being thrown to the canvas more than once. Joe was out cold for more than 5 minutes."

For a 190 guy Langs power was exceptional. Hes really the standard for 6 ft 1 190 guy with power. He wasn't that great a fighter technically and thats exactly the point that punch carried him. Opposed to someone like Patterson.

In terms of guys who could hit hard below well below 190 Schreck is near the top of the list.

Besides Louis and the Baer bros Braddock probably hit the hardest of the HW champs of the period between Dempsey and Liston and he might have hit as hard as them at over 200. The thing with Braddock is he was only at 190ish for a few fights he didn't have the power at LHW that a lot of these guys have. I'm talking 190 flat for him not under 190.

You have some novel ideas about power.

Arthur Abraham and Julian Jackson are the first names that come to mind for me. Both middleweights, and both have some of the freakiest knockouts that have been recorded.

I agree with your picks mcvey, I'd put Dempsey at the top of that list

I'd replace Marciano with ST Gordon.

Marciano, Dempsey and Satterfield.
