The fuck can anyone seriously watch Tyson and think - nahh he's not a powerful puncher he just throws lots.
His success did not just depend on his speed, combinations, huge punch with either hand, fierce competitive spirit or an innate ability to almost always be in position to deliver something big. His success depended on a combination of all these abilities, so I think you can say all the great punchers were combination punchers in that way.
Butterbean has a huge punch. Galento had a huge punch. Neither one of these guys are going to show up on an all time great punchers list, not anywhere near the top.
As to why Tyson comes before or after some other big puncher on a list, it's just an opinion and everyone has one.

We haven't even talked about the drugs and roids? Tyson took. Did those help or hurt him? What would they have done for Louis' or Marciano's careers?
