Most Destructive Puncher of All Time

Julian Jackson the biggest puncher ever say what u want about other fighters but nobody had a bigger knockout ration than Jackson we are not talking about stoppages where the referee jumps in but out and out knocksout and too top quality boxers probably better than todays lot ie he would have wipe the floor with Winky Wright something even Trindad could do. He kos boxers, kos punchers, kos fighter what else is there to say about the most destructive puncher of all time BTW i hear his son is doing really well as an amateur

shouldnt use norris as an example. he made light hitting troy waters look like a big puncher Troy Waters was anything but light hitting.

All I've gotta say is that Julian Jackson has to be either number 1 or 2 on any of these lists, when he hit people it would sound like a shotgun blast! Don't believe me? All you gotta do is watch the Norris fight with the sound turned up loud and wait for that right to land!:eek: shouldnt use norris as an example. he made light hitting troy waters look like a big puncher

This has been done to death - I don't know why the moronic author of the thread doesn't go back & bump a previous thread with the EXACT SAME QUESTION.

Hearns Jackson McLellan Fitzsimmons Ketchell Arguello Zarate Louis Hamed Shavers Foreman Marciano

Believe me Gerald Mcclellan was not as hard a puncher as a prime Hearns,a dangerous Jackson or an early/wild Benn who were all actually single-shot knockout punchers to the head. Mcclellan never put anybody to sleep,he ended the vast majority of his fights with his trademark left hook to the body. Mcclellan finished 15 guys in one round with the same two-punch combination- it was an overhand right to head followed by a left hook to body. He also had five other first-round wins(20 in total) but I never saw Mcclellan put anybody to sleep so you just have to say that he didnt have the same knockout punch as the Hearns lightning right cross or the Jackson come-from-behind one big punch or the free-swinging Benn with 22 knockouts in a row.

All-time: Marciano. His destructive power was shown not only against very good opposition, but against fighters routinely bigger than he was. Foreman is second. Then one of his victioms, Moorer, comes to mind at LHW- his level of opposition wasn't that great- BUT he did show devastating power. Tyson, also. Man, there are a lot that deserve mention all-time. Dempsey, Louis, etc etc. Active: Lacy. He's the only active guy (if Tyson is retired) that even makes me think "destructive power." And he's shown it against solid opposition.

Here is a list of fighters with what I consider extreme punching power in no order: George Foreman (probably the hardest hitting human being of all time) Earnie Shavers Marvin Hagler Thomas Hearns Julian Jackson Gerald Mclellan Nigel Benn Shitloads more, but I can't be arsed. hagler? please,,,he was a great fighter but not a devastating puncher. not top 10 for sure. I agree with the rest besides benn

1) tommy hearns 2)aaron pryor 3)joe loius actually gerald mclellan should be in that mix as well. he was a bad mo fo. crushing lb for lb power

For their weight? Who is it? You remember what Tommy Hearns did to Roberto Duran? You remember Bob Foster? How about Julian Jackson? Naseem Hamed? Nigel Benn? Jimmy Wilde on a p4p? Maybe even Rocky Marciano? Come on, discuss this shit right now. 1) tommy hearns 2)aaron pryor 3)joe loius

maybe marciano.

Rocky Marciano

Marciano Foreman

Gotta Say BIG George Forman. I just watched his fight with Frazier I again. He barely put weight behind those punches and Frazier still flew across the ring.

Carlos Zarate he was really powerfull with more ko's in a row twice in his career, and one of the most under-rated boxers of all times... I don't rate Zarate as highly as others do in all-time Bantamweight discussions, but the guy was certainly one hell of an all-around fighter...He could fight equally effectively from both the outside (nice workman-like jab & killer right cross) and inside (nasty hooks & uppercuts). And although his feet weren't all that quick, which made him susceptable to an elusive boxer, his hand speed was better than average I thought. But you know...I always saw Zarate as one of the very best finishers at the lower weights, and I don't think his power was quite at the top of the ladder. Sure the guy could throw bombs and if they landed, you were in some big trouble...but for pure one-punch power, I thought the other half of the "Z Boys" (Zamora) had the slight edge in that department.

Gerald Mclellan - if he hadnt got injured when fighting Benn the man would have gone down in history as one of the all time greats.

Didnt Jack Dempsey give Jess Willard broken eye sockets,broken ribs,broken nose,teeth missing and broken cheekbones all in one round? No, that was all one big exaggerated myth originally started by someone who wasn't even a physican. There's quotes around from people who were with Willard the day after the Dempsey fight and none of them reported anything nearly as severe as those injuries. As a matter of fact, Willard sat down to do a pretty extensive interview with the New York Times the day after the fight, where he stated he was only "bruised" but nothing was broken...I strongly doubt he'd been able to do that interview had he suffered injuries that were even nearly that extensive. Bruised ribs, small cut under his eye, swelled right eye (upper cheek), cut lip...but he (and others around him) reported no broken bones in the jaw, ribs, eye socket & nose, and there wasn't any loss of teeth.

tyson, and jeff lacy.
