Do you agree with Ring Magazines Top 10 Greatest Punchers of All Time?

This list would have been better if they had ranked them based on weight class (the weight class where they fought the most fights) instead of lumping them all together. You can't adequately compare Tommy Hearns to Joe Lous or anyone else in different weight classes for that matter.

1. Joe Louis 2. Sam Langford 3. Jimmy Wilde 4. Archie Moore 5. Sandy Saddler 6. Stanley Ketchell 7. Jack Dempsey 8. Bob Fitzsimmons 9. George Foreman 10. Earnie Shavers 11. Sugar Ray Robinson 12. Ruben Olivares 13. Wilfredo Gomez 14. Rocky Marciano 15. Sonny Liston 16. Mike Tyson 17. Bob Foster 18. Thomas Hearns 19. Khaosai Galaxy 20. Alexis Arguello 21. Carlos Zarate 22. Max Baer 23. Rocky Graziano 24. Matthew Saad Muhammad 25. Julian Jackson 26. Danny Lopez 27. Gerald McClellan 28. Roberto Duran 29. Rodrigo Valdez 30. Felix Trinidad 31. Pipino Cuevas 32. Jim Jefferies 33. Lennox Lewis 34. Bennie Briscoe 35. Marvin Hagler 36. Edwin Rosario 37. Tommy Ryan 38. John Mugabi 39. Joe Frazier 40. Carlos Monzon 41. Tony Zale 42. Michael Spinks 43. Joe Gans 44. Elmer Ray 45.

Chalky Wright 96. George (K.O.) Chaney 97. Andy Ganigan 98. Fred Fulton 99. Ingemar Johansson 100. Charley White This list is ridiculous. :la: I know this list only consists of retired boxers, but that is beside the point. How could they not put Manny Pacquaio as Number 1?:headbang: Everyone on this site knows that Manny Pacquaio is the greatest fighter/puncher who ever lived or will ever live, as well as the most popular and biggest moneymaker in the sport. In fact, he is such a devastating puncher that he would knock out everyone on this top ten list and both Klithscko brothers in the same night. I didn't even see his name on the list, although I'll admit that I went blind when I saw Naseem Hamed at 46, so I may have missed it.:chomp:

A lTop 10 list without Tyson, Hearns and Julian Jackson is a joke of a list. Agreed. What the fukk is Dempsey doing so high in the list.

Looks a bit biased towards the older generation to me. Julian Jackson, Mike Tyson and Tommy Hearns are all huge punchers. Yeah, it seems to be the basic rule to rate everything in boxing, and yes Tyson,Hears and Jackson should've been higher along with Shavers. Louis isn't the hardest puncher ever, no way.

:/ where's pacquiao? You gotta wait till the clears the whole steroid thing before he's included in any ATG list.

Can't say if this list is terrible or just funny.

Dont know how tyson isnt up there

tyson has to be higher than that

Jack Dempsey should be higher, but overall a good list.

Any list that doesn't feature the Cobra is doomed to fail. A bit like my attempts to get Joe Calzaghe in a ring with me. carl go n jump off a bridge. ur not wanted

I would green k you but the system won't let me for some reason.

i think most of you would likely have the same 10 give or take a couple of fighters, but i doubt theres even 2 people who would have them in the same order. what would yours be? my main issues with the list are that Dempsey is above Foreman and theres no Marciano(14). here are the fighters that made the cut. Published in 2003. (in case your wondering Robinson is no.11) http://boxing.about.com/od/history/a/ring_punchers.htm ««Link to full list 1. Joe Louis 2. Sam Langford 3. Jimmy Wilde 4. Archie Moore 5. Sandy Saddler 6. Stanley Ketchell 7. Jack Dempsey 8. Bob Fitzsimmons 9. George Foreman 10. Earnie Shavers WTF Where's Tua?? :dance:

Jack Dempsey. The most overrated fighter of all time. Where the hell is Bob Foster? I agree with this here.

hell no !! Stfu, Amir Khan is not top 10 :stupid:

No Julian Jackson, Trinidad, Hearns, Tyson? I say its a bullshit list!!! Where is Bob Foster? in what world is Trinidad in the top 10?

some old-timer put it together but I can agree with Louis and Langord being the top punchers. Louis weighed in at like 190lb when he battered Carnera around and Sam Langford was 5'7" knocking out real heavyweights in a time where black fighters were only guaranteed a decision if they stopped the guy. Jack Dempsey said the only fighter he'd ever been afraid of was Sam Langford because he knew he would knock him out. That dude didn't play. yes langford was a demon. just imagine what he could do with today's training and tuition. if roach trained him lol just think ..

No way in hell did Louis have a harder punch than Shavers, Tyson or Foreman. And you can make an argument for Tommy Hearns being the hardest P4P puncher of all time.

Looks a bit biased towards the older generation to me. Julian Jackson, Mike Tyson and Tommy Hearns are all huge punchers.
