    I feel only fighters that scored one punch KO`s should be included, who makes this top 10?

    Rodrigo Valdez, Eduardo Lausse, Freddie Steele, Steve Belloise, Al Hostak, Tony Zale, Cyclone Hart, Floro Fernandez, Juan Carlos Rivero, Solly Krieger, etc.

    There’s 10 that might go overlooked.

    McClellan and Roy Jones as 1 and 2. These guys who weighed 160lbs in the ring aren't hitting nearly with as much power.

    I'm positive that Fitzsimmons hit with as much power as Roy.

    Arthur Abraham was a more skilled version of Sam Peters.. Deadly against bottom rankers nut ineffective against higher rankers.

    I'd say more, Fitz regularly rendered heavyweights unconscious.
