Julian Jackson for me. Carried his power at world level too. Anyone hit clean stayed hit.

Heavyweights - Joe Louis flattened men, sent others flying, lifted them off their feet etc. Rocky Marciano put them to sleep, knocked them out of the ring, sent a big giant guy to hospital in a coma, Sonny Liston clubbed men senseless, so did George Foreman, Earnie Shavers and Ron Lyle punched like Popeye did in the cartoons, giant Gerry Cooney crippled guys, Bonecrusher, Tyson, Weaver, Coetzee, Bruno, Ruddock and Morrison all scored multiple scary KOs.

As Daz has already said, Jackson was something else. When Hearns connected properly he was also devastating - witness what he did to Duran, which nobody else could come close to doing.
From the current crop, despite last night's showing you have to acknowledge Bailey's one-punch power.

Julian Jackson and Bob Foster are the ones who seemed to most consistently have guys asleep mid-fall.

Tyson Fury......................if you believe Meaty Mick. There's not been an explosive or more exciting fighter than his namesake in the 80s.

The really impressive thing about Price's finishes is that he switches the attack to the body and back up when opponents are reeling, it brings their arms instinctively down and exposes their head for the final shots. Lewis KOed a lot of people in the first round but not often in a put-to-sleep way. Prince Naz had freakish power for his size.

Like Thor's hammer when it strikes the chin.

He is scary hitter indeed and I think he can put a lot of people to sleep with that concussive punching.

Good question cause he seems to be smashing up the British crop pretty easily, I must say I'm, a big fan.

I guess what will tell how what level he is at is when he steps up to European/world level and whether he is still doing this then.

I guess Mike Tyson carried this through all the way in his early days. Arguably when he was at his peak he was an animal and I think even Price would Sh$t his pants seeing a prime Tyson ducking his jabs and smashing his face in with a 3 punch combination.

Tyson to me is one of the finest athletes to grace the ring. Who can argue that a peak Tyson was one of the greatest? Not me.

Mike Tyson was the most explosive fighter ever. The way he got rid of fighters was scary. Price has not stopped anyone worth noting. He's fighting in an era where heavyweight boxing is at its lowest ever. If he was to be put in with a few of the top guys he would be stopped. Price is the most over hyped fighter since Frank Bruno

Price's power is truly welcome in this divison of old men fighting 4 rounders
