P4P best punchers all time

[JAB5239]

A few years back Ring magazine came out with its 100 hardest punchers. The only thing I really remeber from it was that Joe Louis was number one. Who are your ten best punchers p4p all time?

Here are mine in no particular order.

Joe Louis
Earnie Shavers
Bob Foster
Wilfredo Gomez
Tommy Hearns
Jimmy Wilde
Stanley Ketchel
Sam Langford
Archie Moore
Naseem Hamed

Joe Louis
Thomas Hearns
Julian Jackson
Earnie Shavers
George Foreman
Archie Moore
Wilfredo Gomez
Alexis Arguello
Ray Robinson
Stanley Ketchel

No real order. These types of lists are tough, but all of those guys were great punchers. Arguello and Louis with their flawless technique, Shavers and Foreman with their crushing raw power, etc.

It wasn't the top 100 hardest punchers..it was the "best" punchers. Louis wouldn't be anywhere near that list when it comes to Raw power.

Best punchers:

Julian Jackson
Thomas Hearns
Earnie Shavers
George Foreman
Mike Tyson

Joe Louis was one of the most destructive punchers ever. His two fisted power is on par with anyone in history. If you think this is even close to debatable I welcome the challenge. What could possibly make you say such a thing?

You go ahead and laugh. But with an almost 85% ko ratio in 37 fights and the testament of Emanuel Stewart saying he was the best puncher he had ever worked with (including Hearns), Im pretty comfortable putting him on a list as subjective as this. I was about 50 feet away from the ring the night he sent Augie Sanchez out of the ring on a stretcher. Hameds punches sound like gunshots when you see him live. The guy could punch.

I agree with you Jab. Anybody who finds that pick funny is likely laughing from personal dislike and definitely ignorance. Hamed could punch. One punch KO power and unusual power for a man in his weight class
