Ring Magazines 100 greatest punchers.

[supaduck]

I still think Julian Jackson at #25 is bull****.

I was going to say, I could post my earlier reply again in hopes of clearing up the fact that it isn't just about power.

Tyson should be a little higher, as he had frightenly accurate combinations. He did get a little careless, however, when his opponents were reeling.

Foreman just clobbered to-and-fro without much grace or form.

Frazier's right hand was slightly limp, and often used as a decoy to move people towards his left. He had a beautiful left, which is why he's in a good spot on the list.

Rocky Marciano had about the most textbook stance after a strong right hand. You could model the WBA logo after that position.

Sugar Ray Robinson was a punching dynamo!

Joe Louis was also a near-perfect puncher.

All-in-all, it's a decent list. One last note: IT'S NOT THE 100 HARDEST PUNCHERS!! People need to stop coming on here and saying who hits harder than who.

if its not the hardest punchers, Why not Ali for the best handspeed in Boxing HW history, he had good timing and good accuracy. Watch a muhammad Ali right Cross off the ropes against Foreman, He judges the distance perfectly and bursts in with a beautiful jab then cross.. or sometimes a lead right cross. I think the reason hes not there is because he never executed these manouveres with textbook form which pissed off many a 'boxing expert' whom were appauled with his 'antics'. Irrespective of whether it was textbook or not, its effectiveness is shown throughout his career.

I still say Walker should have been in the top 100.

Ali wasn't a great puncher; he was a great tactician. He knew exactly how to use every resource to his advantage. His left jab was one of the prettiest, that's true. On a side note, however, he didn't actually have the fastest hand speed in heavyweight history; look around, you'll find this out. Nevertheless, he was one of the most fluid fighters ever, but his punching was really just a part of his gameplan. He did what he could to gain psychological advantages, as well as forcing exhaustion from his opponents. His style and grace gave him many things over his adversaries, and took away their morale. It's not too difficult to make challengers look ****** and slow with these things going for you.

Also, this magazine is trying to cover all divisions, not just heavyweight. If it was hardest punchers, there would just be heavyweights. A 200+ pound guy with a good swing will usually be more powerful than any below him; save perhaps, Bruce Lee.

What's this ****? Bruce Lee doesn't hit any harder than someone like Nigel Benn (in fact, Benn hits harder than Lee), whats with all this "Lee is immortal and above everyone else" media influenced bull****? You guys must think Bruce Lee can do everything better than everyone...

And the list is obviously P4P, what that I said made you think I thought otherwise? A young or old George Foreman may hit harder than Julian Jackson due to being 5 stone heavier, but against a fighter of both their own weights, a Jackson punch would obviously be more effective. I never said the list was only about hard hitters, but Julian Jackson should still be higher up on the list, since Foreman made it in the top 10 and he had no better technique than Jackson.

[hellfire508]

Hearns and Foster should be higher. Ketchel maybe a LITTLE higher.

I feel Moore is a little too high. Julian Jackson should be higher.

Trinidad is too high.

Joe Gans is too high.

Kostya Tszyu is too low.

Jofre is far too low.

Hamed could be higher.

I think its a good list of names, but a bad order.
