    Minimum: Ratanol Sor Vorapin
    Junior Fly: Masamichi Yabuki
    Fly: Not knowledgeable enough. Let's say Jimmy Wilde
    Super fly: Khaosai Galaxy
    Bantam: Inoue Naoya
    Super bantam: Wilfredo Gomez
    Feather: Danny Lopez
    Super feather: I have no idea.
    Light: Roberto Duran
    Super light: I would say we've seen the acceptable answers recently. Josh Taylor and Terence Crawford both punch very hard, although I think Taylor is an inferior boxer to Crawford and manages to KD opponents more with raw power than excellent timing.
    Welter: Thomas Hearns
    Junior Middle: Julian Jackson
    Middle: Gennady Golovkin
    Super middle: Tough one, RJJ or Canelo.
    Light heavy: Artur Beterbiev
    Cruiser: I don't know. I guess Gassiev
    Heavy: Zhilei Zhang has the "heaviest" hands. Wilder's power doesn't come from mass transfer but from speed and catching his opponents off guard.

    Really high quality list. I might go with Saman Sorjaturong at junior fly but I really can't argue with anything.

    Good list. I would switch out Gassiev with Kudryashov but otherwise, there is not too much to argue.
