Terry McGovern
Sandy Saddler
Alexis Arguello
Naseem Hamed
Salvador Sanchez
Azumah Nelson
Ruben Olivares
Erik Morales
Bobby Chacon
Danny Lopez
Vicente Saldivar
Eusebio Pedroza

[NChristo]

No Little Red ?. .
Pretty good list though except Lopez has to be up there.

Here is my list:

Sandy Saddler
Alexis Arguello
Naseem Hamed
Salvador Sanchez
Azumah Nelson
Ruben Olivares
Erik Morales
Bobby Chacon
Vicente Saldivar
Eusebio Pedroza

Your list doesn't have Danny Lopez on it so it is incomplete. Just look at his KO record, or better yet, watch some actual footage of him. Saldivar and Pedroza were more talented fighters, but they didn't hit nearly as hard as Little Red.

[Pastrano]

Ok, I guess you are both right...Danny Lopez must be included.

[New England]

manny pacquiao, if you are counting 122 and 130 as "fw"
he had a good run at or around fw, without having a ton of fights at the specific weight.

4 lbs
close enough. back in the day he would have spent a good deal of time fighting at FW against the mexican three, etc.

and olivares doesn't belong there
his best punching was done at BW

and morales was a good puncher
but not a top ten all time puncher


but good looking list
lots of warriors on that list


edit: gomez is perhaps the greatest hitter ever at 122, and could certainly get a mention here at 126
dude could flat out bomb with either hand

Armstrong was a terrific puncher at any weight, featherweight included.

Hamed
Saddler
McGovern

Others who deserve mention...

Jim Driscoll
Young Corbett II
Jeff Fenech
Eusibio Pedroza
Barry McGuigan

[Mugwump]

I don't remember McGuigan being a destructive puncher. Although it was a long time ago.
