The thing about Joe Louis is he ALWAYS knew his range.....he'd stalk his victim down and BANG it's like his punches were always PERFECT.
Some of Rocky's punches were surprising....the delayed effect of the power was crazy and he didn't care how he hit you, where he hit you, or what he hit you with, you were going down! VS Archie Moore he hit him with his fists, forearms, and on the head, to the body, and behind the head until Moore just collapsed
Samson.....it may be true but only if the bigger guy throws their punches in the best technical way. Rocky and Louis especially had very good technical styles when it came to their right crosses and the only guys today I can think of who have similar technical ability are The Klitschko's.
As for the hooks, Sam Peter doesn't throw hooks like Foreman, Frazier, Tyson, or Dempsey...Sam Peter doesn't use his legs as much as those guys, he swings with his upper body therefore not getting the kind of power he could generate
