Joe "thr brown bomber" Louis

His whole fighting style was second to none, he's the best fighter ever. HARDEST PUNCHER EVER!!!! No question, if you don't agree then think we all are mentioning a different sport!

Atrocious

This list proves to me that Ring magazine is to boxing as as Rolling Stone is to music. This list combined with the 50 of all time. Tyson is absolutely in the top five and I cannot even find the guy ranked on Ring magazines #2 Greatest Boxers of all time in this list, which is Ali. Who would be in the top ten if not the top 5. Did they have someone pick names out of a hat for this?

The Hawk was the best

Julian "the Hawk" Jackson is #1 in my book. #2 is Michael Moorer as a light heavy Julian "The Hawk" Jackson was the most lethal puncher in my opinion. His victims often looked paralyzed before they ever hit the canvas. #2 would have to be Michael Moorer as a light heavyweight--26 fights--26 K.O.'s #3 is John "The Beast" Mugabi who knocked out his first 30 opponents. #4 is Diego Corrales

JAMES 'LIGHTS OUT' TONEY

Where is he? He is one of the hardest punchers with bamboozling combinations and straight hard shots.

Mc Clellan - Benn ????

Now mind you Benn Destroyed Mc Clellan to the point he never recovered to a normal life, yet you have Mc Clellan @ 27 and Benn @ 91, I know this would have to be a Joke as i've watched both fighters, not Boxers but as Punchers Nigel Benn was as Awesome as they come, and where's Iran Barkley, mind you again we're discussing "Punchers" not Boxers.......

Where's Artie levine

When someone once asked Sugar Ray Robinson who was the hardest puncher he ever fought. He answered Artie Levine he hit so hard it should have been illegal.
—Guest swbrnxnyc

Tyson

Tyson should be in the top 3, if not #1. His combinations were punishing. His speed,power and accuracy is unmatched.
