It's just that I've read about punching power for years and I'm convinced there is no one definitive answer. Some fighters hit harder, for a combination of reasons, maybe.
Not really. I'm not qualified to speak with any certainty on the matter but I'm convinced of one thing and that is that you are born with power. The proper technique gets the most out of it just as much as it gets the most out of a weak puncher but some of these guys could knock you out on their toes. Peds have muddied the waters but I think that is a sure thing. I also agree once again with what you said above. Nothing is fixed and the lanky guys stand out because they are lanky. But just as many Barbados Joe Walcotts and Langford types could have made the list but its just Ring chose those 10 for their most recent list. Most places list Walcott at 5'1'' but he was more like 4' 10". How did he get them big guys out of there? Interesting topic.

Ps- Many of those guys that we all dismiss as having zero pop as to their pro record would most likely cold cock every person on this forum or any other. If a chap like Paulie Malignaggi got a clean shot in on me, I'd probably put him on the list when I regained consciousness.
