    Default Biggest two-handed punchers of all time?

    I know, I know. Another "who was the biggest puncher" thread. Booo.

    Let me explain: I got into the old "biggest p4p punchers" discussions the other day, and I noticed that among a lot of th every popular options, a lot of these guys were more or less one-fist (or even one-punch) oriented guys.

    For example, Tommy Hearn's right hand was one of the most brutal in boxing history, and while his left was no love tap, I don't remember him knocking out anyone with the left.

    Bob Foster gets brought up a lot, and rightfully so, but when I think of Bob I think of his dynamite left hook.

    When I think of the real bombers, I think of guys who could (and routinely did) blast guys out with both hands, and seemingly with any punch.

    Guys like Julian Jackson, Tyson, Joe Louis, Earnie Shavers, Prince Naseem, ect come to mind as obvious choices, but who were the less-obvious two-handed bombers in boxing history?

    George Foreman is an obvious choice

    Gerald McClellan? He was a big puncher. Roy Jones Jr. hand power in both hands.

    Hagler to me, absolutely punishing with both hands and had devastating power both southpaw and orthodox.

    Right now I would argue Froch has it.

    Larry holmes had the best jab ever so punishing, and on top a powerfull right,

    Good call on Roy, forgot he could bang back in the day when he wanted to.

    Trinidad was known for his huge left hook but he had a very good straight right hand that would land like a battering ram, Hagler an obvious choice, Julian Jackson, Arturo Gatti could bang with both hands, there are a bunch

    Don't forget "Hands of Stone". He wasn't called "Hand of Stone", and for a very good reason.
