Hardest Punchers p4p Ever?

[Scott9945]

Galaxy hit harder than Zarate.

Julian Jackson is up there. So is my boy Bob Foster. Earnie Shavers. And another man by the name of Foster. Mac Foster..

Zarate was KO'ing a better quality of fighters than Galaxy. And Mac Foster didn't beat a contender in his entire career.

We're talking about pure power. Not accomplishments. Zarate is an all-arond better fighter. I don't really like Galaxy's style- but he hits harder.

Mac Foster did beat a contender in (albeit an old) Zora Folley.

I admit to never seeing Galaxy, but Zarate had 63 KO's in 66 wins, and the quality of the opponents they were knocking out has to matter somewhat.

I just happened to see Mac Foster's fight against Quarry the other night on ESPN Classic. He had the misfortune of catching Jerry when he was on top of his game. Quarry looked as good as I ever saw him that night.

Hamed is not close to being in the top P4P punchers. Thats laughable! He had good power but it was not P4P great. The only reason he knocked down (knocked down, not out. Theres a big difference) was because his punches came from all weird angles and took people by surprise. You can even see in his highlight of all his great KO's!...hehe, not one of them actually KO's anyone. They all get straight up, they all get KNOCKED DOWN a number of times, not knocked out. We're talking about serious KO power. As in Jackson KO power, in which it seems like the people he hit have died. As in 'BOOM', they're not getting up in 2 or 3 seconds...because they're not getting up at all!

Most have been said. Jackson (His Graham KO is the greatest or worst of all time I think), McClellan, Hearns (Duran in ONE punch!), Zarate, Gomez, Shavers, Trinidad, Louis, Marciano....Robinson had incredible power...maybe not ultra P4P power though. Theres a few more but I think maybe those are most of the obvious ones. Actually, Mugabi was pretty brutal while he lasted as well.

Edit: Forgot about Foreman. He was pretty devastating.

What about Tyson?....lol

Alfonso Zamora (pre-Zarate) may be considered. He toted a record of 29 stoppages in 29 outings before Carlos Zarate knocked him down thrice in the fourth round. Of those 29, 22 did not get past the 3rd round, three lasted only until the 4th, one was over by the 6th and three went to the 9th round.

Hall of Famer Eusebio Pedroza was among Zamora's 2nd round victims.

Of course, Zarate, as has been suggested in several posts here, may be considered too. The Zarate-Zamora fight was a meeting of two of boxing's heaviest ****ers of that and any era. It was touted in the media as the meeting of the two "Killer Z's". Zarate then was 45-0 with 44 stoppages; Zamora, as mentioned above.
