P4P hands down Julian Jackson it's what carried him to the top pretty much power alone.

Earnie Shavers and Max Baer have alot of say in this, 210lbs Shavers and 215lbs Baer are tied for the title hardest hitter ever.
Jackson, Mcclellan, Benn, Hearns, DURAN!So much talent, so little space to type it all out

Tyson was a very powerful and explosive hitter.
Rocky Marciano didn't hit nearly as hard as some of the harder punchers; he was just one of the best conditioned boxers of all time and wore people down forever before knocking them out.
P4P? I mean, there are a lot of people that come to mind, but my top two would be...
Joe Louis
Roy Jones Jr.
Both of them had tremendous power. Joe Louis was known for it because he didn't really have much else. RJJ? He didn't like to hurt people, but when he was mad you could see the power he packed, and still does.

Rocky could do both, remember this was a 180 pound man knocking out boxers who were 200+. He could KO you quite quickly if you didn't have good defence or chin and if you did, he would wear you down for 10 rounds and then knock you out. He had 49 wins, 43 KO's.
Jersey Joe Walcott called Rocky Marciano a harder puncher than Joe Louis (though he added that Marciano didn't have the technical finishing skills that Louis had).

Joe Louis was a terrible fighter techincally. Every time he threw a punch his hands went down and that's how he lost the first fight to Max Schmeling.
Rocky Marciano didn't have that one punch knock-out power that most of the hardest punchers have or had. He always had to wear down his opponent or get a really good combination of punches in to finish them off. You can see that at the start of the video you posted.

Rocky Marciano's one punch KO power is almost legendary. He was losing to Jersey Joe Walcott on all cards and knocked him out with ONE PUNCH in the 13th round. That's what he is famous for. How about the time he knocked out Harry Kid Matthews with a double left hook.
The reason he wore most of his opponents down was because he was slow and his technical skills were almost non-existant. He couldn't get clean punches in until he wore his man down by punching him in the arms and to the body and after they couldn't keep their hands up anymore, he would then unleash that right hand to put them to sleep.
