    Vitali's chin ranks right up there with the best. I think it's Chuvalo-like.

    Robinson's KO's in general should give him consideration as the #1 puncher of all-time if it's taken into consideration who you actually stopped. Not only are there several greats, hall of famers and numerous contenders, but some of them were partly known for getting stopped being filed under: Utter Rarity.

    Loses points overall though for being unable to dent Gavs even though little Basilio and lightweight Williams made him lick the canvas.

    I still have him top 10 though :good

    Neither of them hurt him, it had far more to do with balance than anything. :yep He had like 5 lbs on Williams who incidentally is a renowned puncher in his own right. Stop acting like Gavilan came in a 147 thoroughbred against little old Ike, who was peaking and stout as a mother****er.

    LaMotta TKO13
    Fullmer KO5
    Zivic TKO10
    Olson (x3) KO12, KO2, KO4
    Turpin TKO10
    Graziano KO3
    Belloise TKO7
    Villemain TKO9
    Basora KO1
    Costner (x2) KO1, KO1
    Rindone (x2) TKO6, KO6
    Jannazzo (x2) KO8, TKO2
    Shapiro KO3
    McDaniels TKO2
    Doyle TKO8

    To name a few off the top.

    Ray had everything else going for him. Iron chin, lightning hands, power, angles, combos.

    The hardest punchers had nothing but to see them through, most of the time. :scaredas:

    All instrumental to being a truly elite puncher, que no? As well as timing, accuracy, leverage, punch selection.. And his murderous body assault. Do you think Louis is routinely touted as one of the greatest punchers for power alone? Do you see why I dont think Shavers is worthy of holding Tyson's jockstrap, either? Separate ways of looking at it, I suppose.

    Usually the question is P4P hardest puncher. Ray could maneuver and had the technique to use their force against them, leading them into a KO punch and throw crazy combo's to **** worlds up.

    Other boxers it's all they had a lot of the time, cold cocking guys because it's all they COULD too.

    I rate them on a combination of both actually. And it's why bruisers like Foreman/Jackson and punching whiz's like Robinson/Moore made my top 10.

    Well yeah, Power is definitely the constant and at the forefront, but I tend to take the 'hardest' out and just look at it from an overall puncher perspective. Power is a prerequisite. And since it is, I also rate George, Earnie et al. too, but just below a few others.
