Another tricky one, cos i take it we're talking about 'one shot' killing power here.. Former lightweight champ Lew Jenkins is a name that always gets over-looked, he wasn't the best defensive fighter but my God, could he ****!.. Most of his 47KO's were of the 'one shot' variety, and fighters literally layed starched and motionless at his feet..
Names to be considered should include:-
Jackson
McClellan
Joe Louis
Shavers
Ketchell
Hearns
Mugabe
Foster
Robinson
Liston
As with other posters, JJ was the 1st name on my mind's recollections, but i've seen a lot more of him than some of the fighters who i've suggested..
Wayne Alexander lol, Jeeez, now that boy can really ****! (at British level) and another one was welterweight, Mickey Hughes, serious one shot power!.. Does anyone on here remember his fight with Gary Jacobs ? who also took Whitaker the distance..

Nice list, though in a p4p sense, I think Marciano deserves a mention. Like Paulie said, Langford had some good pop for his size, enough to compete with boxers much larger than him. Mugabe had overrated power IMO.
