How'd you do that???

[Tyson.]

^^^^ I'd pick those 2 as well.

I guess that makes you a nuthugger by some of the tools on here.

Ring magazine even has Tyson as one of the best all time, oh wait let me guess there nuthuggers too.

Nobody is saying he's not one of the best, but the best? Come on.

I wouldnt have him at number 1 either but i don't see it as too outrageous either as you could make a case. Certainly enough of a case not to be labelled the dreaded "nuthugger"!

The combination of speed, power, accuracy etc is a pretty formidable set up isnt it?

Anyway, I'd go with the obvious choice of Louis.

The other notable for me would be Hearns.

Just in case anyone goes there - Any mention of Foreman is ludicrous in this context. Power, yes. Overall punching ability (speed, accuracy etc) - A biiiig no.

[Toney616]

In no particular order:
Liston
Jackson
McClellan
Tyson
Hearns
Patterson

I don't mean raw power, this includes everything speed, acccuracy, combinations, power, finishing etc.
I would probably go with Joe Louis, Sugar Ray Robinson or Thomas Hearns.

Your thoughts??

thomas Hearns. speed, power, accuracy and range.

Leonard get's a shout too, but he couldn't come close to hurting Hagler, where as Hearns did.

Robinson was a good puncher but he was wild.

Pacquiao is very wild too and forgoes defense to land punches.

Mayweather isn't a big puncher.

Tyson had speed power and accuracy, but had a very short reach.
