He is 2nd with me, Shavers could knock down a building with his. Shavers had to have a 2000PSI punch with his right.

It would be interesting to know for sure just how hard the Great John L. could actually hit. He had a very hard punch, according to contemporary accounts, but it would be nice to see it on film.

I would be interested in that too. All I know is that he is renowned for his punching power, just nobody has it on tape.

As far as I know the only film available is of him and Corbett clowning around a bit after he was on in years - way after he was done fighting.

Who voted for Tyson? He was more of a combo guy IMO.
