Good list! Am wondering why you did not consider George Foreman?

I was TRYING very hard not to repeat names of fighters already listed.
You can see how well I did......
I just wanted to put up different names instead of repeating names....
But BIG George is def. up there with the hardest punchers so is Frazier, Shavers oh! and what about Tommy Morrison.

you can't really base it all on records. MOst young fighters who becomes great fighter have about 80%+ knock out record already but later on they get those decisions over better oppenents. So those % start to decrease. You have to consider knock out fasion and most of all on quality oppenents.

I couldn't agree with you more on this and that is exactly why I split them up in the groups I did.
Cause their is NO WAY IN HELL that I would list a fighter like Berto and Katsidis and Oganov along with fighters like Zarate, McClellan and the rest of those older fighters.

Sometimes, judging based on percentage is deceiving. Valero has 22 out of 22 but it does not make him a harder puncher than the Pacman.I believe it was the point of Julius Rain.
