Gotta go with Moore. Why? Top flight opposition and more knockouts than anyone in history.

Honorable mention to Marvin Johnson who was just a huge puncher.

Would you want any of them hitting you?

Only Moore, however, has a legion of knockout victims the size of a Lord Of The Rings army.

I hear ya.
Thing is though,Foster had that one punch destructive power. In my mind Archie was more of Accumulation puncher.
Very accurate and economical with his shots.Dont get me wrong. Archie could crack.

Bob just suffers for me from the level of opposition he faced. No denying his power, but arch could one shot mike quarry as well.

Good counter-point. Moore had far, far more formidable opposition, which has to be worth a bit.
