I would go for heavy weights I would have to go with three. Ali is my first pick. The man could control you even with his back agianst the ropes. He had cast iron chin and had good power. Mike Tyson of the 1980's. Tyson came to the ring robeless ready to fight and destroyed almost everyone he touched for a five year period. Ernie Shavers. The hardest hitting heavy weight of all time. Tex Cobb said "Ernie will hit you so hard he could hit you in the neck and break your ankle"Ali said"Ernie hit me so hard he shook my kin folk back in Africa.
I also would say Hagler because of all of his intangibles. He could hit and he hit and he could box. Cotto will go down is this category as well as Pavlik. I think Hearns was a good one with his one punch power. Ray Mancini I don't need to mention why I think everyone knows.Jake La Matta with his solid chin and never quit attitude. I could keep going with the Sugar Ray Robinsons and the Harry Grebs but I don't want to bore you.
