    riddick bowe, he had great power - holyfield said he hit him the hardest out of anyone, he was also very quick for his size, definetly the quickest super heavyweight. the only thing of concern is his chin, sometimes he took bombs and didnt flinch, other times he was rocked by herbie hide etc

    Toney wasn't a huge puncher IMO... the "Lights Out" nickname never really made sense to me. He really wasn't that fast either. Damn good fighter though. SRR for sure

    Sugar Ray had is the best example of this with a few added advantages like great heart and will, great reach, coordinated, great footwork, great timing, not prone to injuries and cuts etc. which is why he's the GOAT and an absolute H2H beast.

    Tyson is another example although his chin isn't as great as Robinson's i'd say, in regards to the cruiser weight division Dempsey is another.

    Pacquaio came to mind. SRR and Tyson I agree with, esp SRR, it's part of the reason why he is considered the best
