Good list if you are going off Percentages

Valero is 100 percent and pacman is on the Bottom of the list with 74 percent ko ratio.

But you can make the argument that Pacman has faced the higher opposition so his Ko are more impressive then Valero?

[AtomicPope]

The percentage system is bogus to say the least. Putting Valero on the top for power ignores several factors:
1) There have been several controversial stoppages
2) Lack of competition
3) Quality over quantity
4) Fighter growth/decline


If a fighter is older/weaker/slower you'll never know until he faces legit competition. Klitchsko should be #1. He's constantly defending a title and stopping competition. Even in his decline he's stopping the younger opponents.

Growth. If you look at Pacman in his younger days he was a twig. He looked like a boy fighting in the ring. When he was boxing he'd only eat a cup of rice a day. Look at him now and his physique and power have improved dramatically. I don't think there's a fighter alive today, besides pacman, who could have fought under those conditions and survived long enough to be a champion.

Hardest punchers needs to look at:
1) Quality of opponents
2) Effect of KO's on opponents

There are plenty of TKO's which are nothing more than a hometown stoppage.

if pacquiao moves up to super lightweight he will be the hardest puncher in the game

[Absolut]

in 1984 dan gladden his .354. obviously, he was the best hitter in baseball that year.

[Mr. Larusso]

Where have you gone Ike Ibeabucci?

[5acrossYOeye]

Timmy C knows ^

where did timmy go

[brian13]

David Haye , that right hand he gave to Enzo Macranelli in the unification fight was just bloody vicious

[GlassJaw]

That list is alright, nothing to jolt down though.

There's plenty people missing as KO % doesn't automatically translate into punching power.
