Julian Jackson. McClellan was a beast too.
Liston, julian jackson, nigel benn, prince naz, foreman, but please watch herol graham vs julian jackson chilling.
Julian Jackson , G-MAN , both amazing punchers.
Wilfredo Gomez.
Carlos Zarate.
Edwin Valero. Shame he was a nutcase.
Victor Ortiz can bang, he just lacks heart.
Nowadays I'd say Lucas Matthysse. That guy hits so hard he made Chuck Norris shit his pants.
Alfonso Zamora. Chris Calvin. Engels Pedroza.
Jimmy Wilde
Sandy Saddler
Sam Langford
Stanley Ketchel
Julian Jackson
Bob Satterfield
Young Otto
Young Stribling
Carlos Zarate
Tito Trinidad
Ruben Olivares
Wilfredo Gomez
George Chaney
Bob Fitzsimmons
Max Baer
Jack Johnson, sure he fought to a lot of decisions, but any time you punch someone (Stanley Ketchel) so hard that their teeth end up stuck to your glove then you can crack!
All the usual suspects have been mentioned, but one that always gets overlooked is Edwin Rosario. A fantastic puncher who probably is in the top 5 hardest hitting Lightweights of all time.
Pipino Cuevas another fantastic puncher who gets underrated because of the Hearns loss.
Danny little Red Lopez, Khaosai Galaxy, Bummy Davis, Rodrigo Valdez, Arguello.
SRR, RJJ, and Shaver. The First two KO'd people who'd never even touched the canvas with a single punch and Shaver..well everyone knows he hits like a truck.
Acelino Freitas could really crack too, he started his career 29-0 (29 KOs)
His come from behind KO of hit n run scumbag Barrios was epic.
