    David Tua is the 3th best slugger ever. After Foreman and 91/Tyson.

      Before anyone else wants to come team up on good old Mass Pride.Let me just repeat what I said in a post earler.When I orginally saw the word slugger in the title.I thought of hard punchers.Which was half wrong!My bad!Nothing personal!

        By that definition I dont think that Hearns or Louis apply. They were both boxers first with good defences and great punchers. They could slug, but werent sluggers.

        Foreman- definatly
        Tua
        Frazier - IMO yes, he wasnt a boxer. His style was to keep coming forward and throwing hard shots.
        Marciano- definatly

        Gatti - id say yes, although he could box, he often resorted to slugging it out.
        Bobby Chacon - From wat ive seen of him, he also liked to slug.

        What about Hatton?
        Or Duran? Although technically great, he loved to just fight.

          They should be counted more as swarmers rather than sluggers. Their defences were underated.

            He and Lyle in the two best slugfests of all time.
