Of course there are many who landed a mean punch when it came down to it, but these 10 certainly occupy a special place when it comes to ruthlessness. Take a look:
1. Mike Tyson
He was a dangerous customer particularly in the first six rounds. He was just that good when it came to knocking the stuffings out of his opponents.
2. Sonny Liston
If it meant killing an opponent, so be it, but the man never pulled his punches. Infamous for being a dirty fighter, well, current boxers can thank themselves of not having to face him.
3. Joe Louis
Known to tire out the opponent, he was known to go for systematic punches and had a pattern.
4. George Foreman
Loved to go for the knockout early and was always on the offensive.
5. Rocky Marciano
He had a passion to send his opponents packing quickly, certainly a reason why he never lost a single professional fight.
6. Earnie Shavers
A slippery customer who could pack a punch.
7. Jack Dempsey
There was power and it did produce pain when he connected.
8. Joe Frazier
Never shy to flex those muscles and one felt just pity for the man whose face got in the way of his fist.
9. Lennox Lewis
Never backed down and always found a breach in the opponent's wall.
10. Max Baer
Not intimidating to look at, but it did not stop him from throwing a mean punch.
