Hardest Punchers

Post by zuru »

I know this has been covered to death.But I don't mean number of kos or who we deem the hardest punchers.But rather like the Ring interviews:"Best I ever faced".

Is the a listing by weight of the hardest Punchers,named so by their opponents?

I don't think much of Valero, but he could swat. Agreed I wouldn't have him there either. So much wrong with the list I just grabbed two obvious ones. Lol

TBH Liston doesn't impress me as much. His ko percentage was 75 percent I think, very good but, I guess his power tends to be over rated among us. Although George Foreman did attest to his power so I don't know.

Also his connections are suspicious to me, how many of his opponents were told to lay down???
