[The_One77]

Ring Mag are horribly biased, they love the old fighters from like 100 years ago.

Nope, Benn is the better puncher of the two...I just assume that you must be mad as hell cuz Ring Mag put RJJ ahead of Benn..

**** The Ring. KO Magazine was better.

This list is attempted to rank the best punchers of all-time, not the hardest. That's why Joe Louis is ahead of Foreman. Yes, Foreman probably did hit harder than Joe Louis, but that's pretty much it. He was sloppy, wild, and slow. There's more to punching than power. Like i have stated many times, punching is a mixture of power, handspeed, technique, precision, accuracy, and ability to put punches into combinations. I think the Ring got #1 right. No one excelled in all of those categories as well as Joe Louis.

Aaron Pryor was an accumilation puncher, rarely stopping an opponent with one punch.

And this list isn't who is the better fighter, it's who is the better puncher. I believe in that issue of the ring, before the list, he clearly states this point. He uses the example of Carlos Monzon and Rodrigo Valdez if i remember correctly. It is obvious that Monzon was the superior fighter, but he didn't punch nearly as hard as Valdez. All of this is stated in the preface.

Which is why I think Alexis Arguello should be ranked higher. He punched with great technique and precision...very hard and sharp everytime he threw a punch.

kosta Tyzu was a very effective puncher, he should be much higher
