    Sonny Liston at 210 or Joe Louis at 200 are far better examples..

    Trinidad's not a bad call, but i'd have Joe Gans and Jose Napoles slightly above him..
    All about, opinion, buddy, all about opinion. Also P4P is everyone.

      I put my vote on Ruben Olivares, the original Mexican left hooker.

        Absolutely, and yes, p4p is everyone, but i do feel a lot of these p4p arguments are far too one sided in favour of the heavies.. Few people seem to take into account that a lot of the smaller guys achieved more.. Gans, Napoles and SRR all put on more stunning displays by breaking down and KOing world champions with the left hook than David Tua..
        As in terms of 'best,' it may be great to watch it executed against fellow contenders, but if Lennox Lewis was able to take it flush, then that says it all really..

          Can't KO them all. Ask, Tyson, Foreman, and Shavers. Some but not most get away.

            That's a really good call, and shamefully, i forgot all about him.. Olivares's left hook to the liver was legendary.. He'd also double it up to the chops when he had a guy in trouble..

              His best attribute is that he was real sneaky with it and he would throw it at all different speeds so it was hard to predict, he was absolutely excellent at breaking a fighter down with that one punch.
