Ali was mainly an arm puncher, who rarely (If ever) sat down on his punches

Lewis could get guys out of there with one punch, as he did against Rahman. The only time Ali koed someone with one punch was during that dodgy ko against Liston and a very over the hill Williams

Who did Ali ever ko to be placed above Lewis on a p4p punching scale?

I don't know if he is above Lewis in power, but the KO of Foreman is a great achievement and a pre-exile record of 29 wins and 24 KO's is indicative of more than average power.

I didnt know that, learn something new everyday

I would rank him below Lewis, That Rahman ko comes to mind

Oleg Maskaev poleaxed Rahman TWICE in far more devastating fashion than Lewis ever did.

Lewis outpointed Levi Billups yet Billups was knocked out in the first couple of rounds by every other fighter he ever fought.. which says alot about the punching power of Lewis

How do you rate Ali's punching power on a whole? Only ever man to stop Bonavnea & Foreman. Is he a underrated puncher?

ali had very good punching power,with his lighting fast hands, and with precicion like accuracy he woukld be able to kayo someone with a shot that no one sees coming,he may not have had the one punch power as say shavers,tyson,or foreman but with the two combined ingrediants of speed and accuracy his punch would rock his opponants and usually stop them in their tracks

[Joeyzagz]

For a Heavyweight Ali had below average power.

His contemporaries: Frazier, Foreman, Liston, Shavers were far superior in that department, but Ali has nothing to be ashamed of since he beat them all.

[boxing boy]

Ali had a good right hand.At times he showed good punching power,and at other times looked like he lacked a good punch.

Average punching power at best.Without a good right hand,he couldn't punch.

He won by TKO and a few KO's by an accumulation of punches over many rounds.

he had a good right hand. That was his money Punch. I know he put Bonevena out with a good left hook but in general his only good shot was his straight right.

Ali had incredible accuracy with it. Such google Ali images and there are probably a ton of images of him landing his right cross directly on the chin. I know he did it to Frazier and Foreman a lot.
