    Bert Cooper has to be up there

    David Price also had a nuclear weapon of a right hand.

    I don't think Buddy was that huge a puncher,not in his Brother's class anyway.

    Jeff Sims and Jumbo Cummings could both bang they're also similar for their troubled background i've heard.

    In the same vein, Jeff " Candy Slim " Merritt was a more than decent puncher.

    54 out of 61 total wins. Mostly C listers and a couple of fringe contenders like Poreda, Lasky, and over the hill Heeney. Still an impressive ratio by any measure and he had that lanky build like a Wilder probably got good torque on the end of his punches. Seemed like a top prospect for awhile would like to discover more on him.

    I forgot The Bean. You wouldn’t want to stand still with your hands down around him.

    The best answer for this question is probably Sam Langford.
