which boxer had the most raw power

[RRICAN]

IMO JOE FRAZIER

[Terry A]

Pound for pound, Wilfredo Gomez, Ruben Olivarez, Carlos Zarate, Gerald McClelland, John Mugabi and Bob Foster deserve some attention as well.

Pound for pound among the heavyweights.. Marciano, easily.

from what i have seen its between george foreman and julian jackson. these guys iced people with the poorest of punching form. i have seen raw novices using better technique than what these often used to get ko's.

some will say what about hearns and tyson.

if you watch thomas hearns and mike tyson, they always punch with perfect form and leverage

check my heavybag thread, Foreman by far looks like the heaviest puncher.

Tyson looks like he packs a lot more than Frazier though, going by the videos.

Foreman didn't have perfect form but he certainly new how to get leverage.

Julian Jackson when he loaded up, did tend to have good form IMO, maybe I missed something.

Rocky Marciano..... Everything short for a heavyweight. Even in actual weight, reaching the minimum. By far he packs more destruction in a single punch than any mentioned before this post. Highest KO % in history of boxing.

When Marciano was destroying all challengers with his blockbuster assault, the U.S. Testing Co. was asked to measure the power of Rocky's wallop. Its findings:
"Marciano's knockout blow packs more explosive energy than an armour-piercing bullet and represents as much energy as would be required to spot lift 1000 pounds one foot off the ground." Boxing Illustrated December 1963

You got it baby. Marciano's power was astonishing, considering his size.

Earnie Shavers at Heavyweight, Julian Jackson p4p.

Why? What's wrong with Marciano. Having the highest KO % in history obviously says alot. And it wasn't like he was just domineering. He would get knocked down alot then get right back up to KO his opponents. Which I'm sure you know that when you get knocked down your energy starts to diminish. So KOing people with depleted energy... just wow.

julian jackson p4p, others like foreman, marciano and mclellan deserve a mention but jackson was a freak of nature.

foreman was just ridiculously strong he didn't need to hit you clean he could just pulverize you and knock your little ass the **** out!!
