Does Fitz count? The way he knocked out much bigger opponents was crazy.

Good ole Brucey. It was seeing him that got me interesting in boxing I think. Mind you he sold Stones ale and it was putrid

The first few that sprung to mind for me have already been mentioned - Lewis, Haye, Benn and Naz. Enzo Mac was a good shout as well.

Well I'll give it a bash, of course weight divisions matter too.

Ricky Hatton at Light Welterweight
A tough cookie, who was an accomplished body puncher.

Carl Froch at Super Middleweight
Not one man has left the ring after fighting him and said he didn't hit hard.

Naseem Hamed at Featherweight
Naz just kept on banging them out. A man with power in both fists.

Anthony Joshua at Heavyweight
AJ definitely looks every bit the power puncher thus far in his career.

David Haye at Crusierweight
Here is a man who overpowers natural Heavies, can you imagine the damage he would do against the smaller men.

Scott Harrison at Featherweight
Maybe somewhat of a forgotten man but Harrison showed some powerfully destructive displays of punching.

Bob Fitzsimmons at Middleweight
He must've hit hard to beat Heavyweight Champions.

Nigel Benn at Super Middleweight
Explosive puncher, who had opponents urinating blood for up to a week after the fight.

Chris Eubank at Middleweight
I always thought that Chris was a better puncher at Middleweight.
