Top 10 sluggers?

[BKM-]

These classifications are kind of nebulous. To be a great fighter you need to be able to do more than slug. Foreman is the only great fighter I can think of who is a pure slugger.

Yeah, thats what im saying. Frazier was by no means a slugger. He could do it all.

thats probably true even shavers and lyle tended to box a little bit
foreman was the only one with the combination of power chin and aggression to be successful as a pure slugger

[Southpaw Stinger]

Foreman is the best slugger. Other fighters tended to mix both swarming and slugging, Foreman is one of the only great guys who was 100% slugger.

joe louis was the greatest boxer - puncher that ever lived, he threw combinations with beautiful technique. he should be at the top of different list

Maybe putting him in the top ten was a little stretch.But only a little one!I agree that he was a great technical fighter.Which made his power all the more dangerous IMO.The man had power that could turn a fight around at any point(see Conn fight).He had fifty-five knockouts in sixty-nine wins.He failed to knockout some journeymen.So I certainly see your point!But he did knockout guys like Billy Conn(twice),Joe Walcott,Max Schelming,Max Baer,Buddy Baer,Jim Braddock,Jack Sharkey,and Primo Carnera(Big deal right ).

joe louis had everything:

speed power acuracy intelligence chin and heart but he was no slugger, the term boxer-puncher fits him best
