top 10 pound for pound most devastating punchers

[Cloud]

IMO he is one of the greatest punchers of all time. He's on my top 10 list above.

I think i say that because id put plenty of guys above him as far as power punching goes.

I just thought...Finito was a great puncher, hows his name not been thrown around all that much?

Lopez was capable of ending or turning around a fight with any punch, at any time. Definitely a great puncher.

Now, since you distinguish between hardest hitting and most devastating, I would be hard pressed to put anyone ahead of Joe Louis.

Guys have hit harder, pound for pound, but not with the same consistency, accuracy, speed, set-up and suddeness which I think is almost unique to him.

and he usually threw two instead of one.

his mastery of distance and offensive timing (the real keys in effective power punching,) is equal or greater than any other fighter. the only other name you see frequently mentioned in this regard is robinson.


he gets my vote certainly for the most potent offensive fighter of all time
and given his weight, the most devastating man ever in a boxing ring.

probably the most complete and brutal offensive fighter ever.

Not hardest hitters necessarily.

I have to mention Felix Trinidad because some of his KO's left fighters in a heap. His wins over Blocker, Vargas, and Campas were pretty brutal.

Julian Jackson
Gerald McClellan

[Boxing Bob]

Lotsa good choices out there and I'm too lazy to make a list, but Bob Foster was the most devastating puncher I ever watched

When I think devistating my mind automatically goes to violence. No particular order.

J. Jackson
Tyson
SRR
Tua
Foreman
Hearns
Kirkland
Louis
Mercer
Okay FFS Hamed (I hate adding him to any list other than duck lists)

No offense to the golden age but if I cant see it then I cant say devistating. These guys made me say "Daaaaammmn he whoopin his ass"
