    The fact that it's a boxing site should be a bit of a clue.

    And none of those you mentioned make the top ten imo,but hey no surprise there.

    Blasphemy!!! Eddie was rated a bigger banger than Saad and even Spinks for a couple of years before slipping into inactivity while Spinks also enhanced his reputation.

    Saad's power was always on full display as he went to war pretty much everytime he fought. Once Spinks wiped the early round sleep out of his eyes he was always looking to get that big blow in as well. Eddie, well Eddie was lazy and often uninspired. He could bang tho.

    Moorer, Jones, Foster, Charles, and Ancient Archie Moore (the MOST KOs, 131 knockouts is a lot)...the rest is debatable.

    I think Moorer's power was good, but gets a little overrated

    He couldn't even floor Leslie Stewart, the same Stewart who was kod in 5 rounds by Don Lalonde and 4 rounds by Virgil Hill - before fighting Moorer. He did stop Stewart on the ropes om the 8th round of a competitive fight, but Stewart never went down nor did his legs go.

    His competition at 175 lbs paled in comparison to the likes of Saad, Mustafa, Spinks, Braxton, Foster, etc.

    Stewart got dropped pretty heavily by Moorer, Saad. He was boxing pretty well in that fight, too, but MM changed the complexion pretty quickly with a well placed shot.
