Now that Jaclem has revealed the required specs, I'll give a shout out to Patterson for speed.
But that might be just hand speed. When you add Ali's footwork to his hand speed, his bus might get to the station a bit faster.

Tyson #1 at body puncher? I don't get that at all. Same with Holyfield and stamina. Hard to tell about Wilder's right hand since he is so untested.
Otherwise I am on the same page.
Odd that Joe Louis has not been mentioned much, but he was probably close to the top in several categories.

Holy field would be my best counterpuncher. Tyson was a poor infighter, nowhere near a top body puncher.
