    Foster seems to have more one shot KO's, but he also didn't do as well when he moved up and HW as compared to JJW against HW's. Who do you think had more power in their punches? I heard somebody say Foster hit harder than JJW and some others, so I'm curious what people say

    Foster did not have the frame to add weight, he was susceptible to quality heavyweights punches.

    Jersey Joe Ken. For some reason when I first glanced at the thread title I thought it said Ggg! Think I must have been half asleep to mate.

    Jersey Joe could certainly crack. He's the only guy to put Louis and marciano on the deck, foster of course was a beast at his own weight. I'm going for Jersey as the bigger puncher.

    My wife tells me I'm half asleep when I mate, too, Ferg. Nothing to be ashamed of at our age!

    Foster the better puncher but Joe the bigger man and also the sneakier puncher. Opponents knew what Bob was going to do. Sod all help though when it landed but Joe put guys down by virtue of them not seeing or anticipating the punch.

    Per their respective weight divisions I say Foster. If both were fighting at heavyweight, I'd say JJW.
