    I'm offended that you don't have Rocky Marciano but I'm VERY offended that you don't have Louis

    Just for power not a mix or Louis would be number 1

    Louis did such a terrible things with his punches to fighters bigger and stronger than him that I'd definitely include him even for pure power. Have you seen his jab? His hook? Even uppercut? Body shots? His regular punches affected his opponents more than most of the other mentioned here.

    Max Baer

    Curtis Sheppard

    Ernie Shavers

    I'd add Peter Maher to this list, nobody in his prime hit as hard as him (probably even Fitzsimmons).
