Despite having some nice power in his right hand, Larry Holmes was not some monster puncher.

Foreman was.

1. Foreman
2. Liston
3. Tyson

Holmes probably makes the top 10

Holmes was not a big puncher but he did have a complete arsenal of punches. I particularly liked the uppercut he knocked down Weaver with. He also knocked down Ossie Ocasio with a jab, it was a heavy knockdown too.

Foreman however punched more powerfully with every punch he threw, even the jab. Big George actually knocked out opponents with his jab.
