I just rewatched Mosley's absolute destruction of Margarito and the punches he was landing...he was literally jumping into some of them. I know it's not technically perfect, but while I was watching it, I was almost in awe of Mosley's aggression and brutality. Who are some of the other fighters who threw punches with every ounce of their strength like that? Keep in mind that I don't mean heaviest hitters, just guys that threw everything into their punches.

I'll go with Rocky Marciano and Mike Tyson. Maybe Evander Holyfield, Miguel Cotto. The other guys here can provide much better examples, I'm sure. Look forward to reading them. -

Holyfield. Yes. Not a huge puncher, but so often he was throwing the world into his punches and knocking back much bigger men. He was a beast at best.Originally posted by Anthony342 View PostComment

GOOD ONE. He was always trying to break something on you when he threw.Originally posted by NChristo View Post

Marvin Hagler never threw a light punch.
Sonny Liston is another, his jab could knock you out.
All of Durans punches were thrown with venom.Comment

Holyfield's a good one. I remember in the first Bowe fight where they clinch and Holyfield looks for the ref to break it up and gets tapped on the head, turns around and throws like seven or eight haymakers. That dude wanted to finish people.Comment

How can you not like Holyfield as a fighter? That guy had more gumption and determination than almost everyone. He refused to be bullied.
