Very unique for sure. I like the Kenny Norton overhands, the Ron Lyle overhands and Tyson's weird uppercuts.
The montage at the end with Joe Louis gave me goosebumps. Perfect music outlining the historical significance of his second fight with Max Schmelling. Brilliance.
Reznick is making boxing videos whose comment sections don't become mean-spirited and hostile. That's a helluva feat. It's all hero worship down here. None of the bitter arguments.
The Joe Louis part was out of this world. Amazing as always!

Ali said Liston punched harder than Foreman
okay that Joe Louis segment was something else man, unbelievable, could u please upload that segment as a video by itself? it’s by far the best Joe Louis tribute ever
Just binge watched some Sonny Liston documentaries - he was truly terrifying - guys were visibly scared to get in the ring with him. Awesome stuff!
Great video. The Joe Louis segment was the 3 best minutes of any boxing tribute footage I've ever seen - simply sensational. It does make sense to have quite a few 190 - 210 pounders in there because this is the range where optimal power and leverage can be used to maximum advantage. The bigger guys struggle against their own levers and weight sometimes. Having said that, people like Joshua and the later day Foreman will always make these lists because the sheer size and explosiveness will be sufficient to annihilate anyone.

Yeah I thought he was wack because he faced mainly white fighters, unlike rocky Marciano who fought everyone. In an era with mediocre fighters though. But I changed my mind hoe Louis is a true champ. He was fast and strong and crafty too. I got caught up with what Ali said about Louis, how he’s slow and stiff. But if you pay attention he’s very agile. And he’s reflexes are impeccable. I never seen a hw like him. I thought Liston deserved to be higher because he was a monster, and Tyson because he was the greatest. But I decided this list is a great mesurement of all these great fighters accomplishments and strength.

Some 40 years ago, a fight fan suggested that Louis had "the punch of George Foreman and twice the speed." Works for me. Joe was great --
Interesting list...I don't totally agree though but that is the beauty of the sport. i think the Criteria favors some fighters more than others and id have personally had Foreman higher..one of the best jabs in the game along with the most effective uppercut to date...he tore thru men like no other.. i LOVE how you included Max Bear..always have thought highly of him and is very underated when it comes to his underlining skill and power... for me top 3 are Foreman, Marciano, Louis. In no real order.

Not too graceful, just beat the shit out of guys. Respect.
Yet, another superb video Rez. One thing I noticed is that JL never blinks when throwing his punches. I believe that is why he was so accurate. All the others seem to flinch, blink, or look away, when nearing impact with their punches. In my opinion JL had a gift for somehow managing that fundamental human instinct.

I’m in awe of Joe Louis! His movement is just like art.
Love the list! So glad Dempsey made it up so high. I agree with his placement because of his ability to drop men who out weighted him by over 50 pounds (Willard) which is pretty impressive. Plus that Joe Louis montage was amazingly crafted.
Joe Louis is my favorite Heavyweight Champion of all time. To see him on your boxing clips and getting the respect he deserves is both honorable and awe inspiring. I have always loved the background music that you mesh with your clips. Just like I would've, way to end it with music from Two Steps From Hell.
I was so glad to see Ernie Shavers in this list! Very overlooked fighter. But filled with raw, awesome power! That pause for the number 1 was so long, I swear I thought it was going to be Don Knotts or something.
Joe Louis undoubtedly number one. Great vid Rez!

The Louis part is incredible
Totally agree with this.Great job man
I can't put into words what this work of art of a video made me feel. Thanks
Great work, I especially loved how you captured the political significance of the Louis-Schmeling part.
Excellent list. However I'm surprised Archie Moore wasn't included given the fact he has the most amount of knockouts in heavy weight history. I would also add in Frazier too. Top 5 for me though is Marciano, Liston, Shavers, Foreman, Louis.
Once again another quality production and perfect backing music, not sure why ESPN classics haven’t snapped you up yet😂.Keep up the good work buddy.
Great video and thanks for posting the info on that great music!!
Joe Louis looked so closely at is opponents, it was like he was deciding on options on which areas to hit.
Great list and video, the Joe Louis part could have been its own video lol. Although, if the list was created with pure punching power in mind I think that Tua may have deserved a spot, possibly at the expense of Jeffries whose power is proven through legend as opposed to actual footage.
Excellent ! I'm glad that you included Liston and Bear.
Finally a worth while production
2:07 Louis: 'Uh oh, I gotta this guy outta here.'
I love this video it was fantastic. My only critique is where Earnie Shavers is on that list considering that he's officially been ranked the hardest hitting heavyweight of all time. I understand that you made the video before that happened. Love the clips you made and keep it up!!!

That's why you can't find any boxing historian that calls Marciano the greatest HW boxer because everyone knows about his record and he didn't face great competition on the highest level he only fought old great fighters past their primes and bums. #FACTS

amazing video !
Greatest knockout artist any weight, all time = Joe Louis. Body blows, shots upstairs to head, straight right, overhand right, jab, hook, uppercut. ...you name it; Louis threw it in text book, step by step, proper fashion to do the most possible damage on your opponent. Nobody put his punches together in rhythm to hurt an opponent better than Joe Louis did. Joe was taught by the legendary Jack Blackburn. Best trainer in boxing history. Ray Arcel trainer of greats like Benny Leonard, Ezzard Charles, Larry Holmes, Roberto Duran, and many other terrific boxers praised Blackburn. So did Eddie Futch. Eddie sparred with Louis. Futch was fast and small compared to Louis, and Joe worked with Futch training to try to avoid punches. Sharpening his defensive skills and his reflexes. Want to learn how to box throwing punches in proper fashion in order to win fights and kick ass in the ring? Watch Joe Louis.

For combination punching, and the union of speed and power, Louis and Tyson in their primes are hard to top, although Dempsey's knocking on the door. Great video. Thanks for posting it.

Wonderful video! Though, in my opinion, George Foreman have to be the second number after Joe Louis. And one more remark: you shouldn't describe Max Schmeling as a representative of the Nazi German. In fact he was a nice guy, which was unlucky enough to be borned in bad time and in bad place.
