A 1963 US army series of tests on boxer Rocky marciano found he had as much power as an armour piercing bullet and had the force behind his punch equivilant to that needed to deadlift 900lbs off the floor!!

marciano was a true freak.  he was like a fucking tank, impossible to knock out

also very small for a heavyweight - like 185 or something

didn't go to the funeral for his best friend (crushed by a backing truck at the loading dock while working)

killed in a plane crash in 59

As with all fighters to a degree and a handful of particularly insane martial arts like this goof I saw on Sport Science that specializes in getting kicked in the nads, areas where you take abuse can be toughened over time, but I read once it was reported following Marciano's autopsy his skull was 2 1/2 times thicker than the average dude.  Hitting him had to be like trying to knock out a slab of steel, haha...     

Combined with his heart and stamina, unbeatable as the record shows, 49-0...

My all-time heavyweight top 10 (in no order) is him, Ali, Tyson in his prime, Joe Louis, Jack Dempsey, Joe Frazier, (young) George Foreman, Ken Norton, Sr., Jack Johnson (rep only - no tape on him, lol), and Evander Holyfield.  Lennox Lewis if one more.   

Thats apparently the case with English hard man Roy Shaw, apparently his skull is twice as thick as average
