Its so close, I would not want to guess. I would say Akinwande is last. Maybe Smith would be first.

I would put them in this order
1. McCall- has knockouts over good fighters like Awkinwande and Maskaev, and a knockout over a great like Lewis, his overhand right could end a fight in a heartbeat.
2. Douglas- his knockout over a prime Tyson alone helps to rank him high, but he also had power in both hands with an 80' plus inch reach.
3. Bone Crusher- One of the heavyhitters of the 80's, didnt mind standing in there to take a punch to give one.
4. Rahman- His overhand right can be nightmare for anyone, Lewis, Meehan, and even Corrie Sanders were all victims too it. I would also like to point out during his second fight with Tua he hurt him with a punch after the bell.
5. Awkinwande- Not known as a huge puncher, but solid none the less. I dont too much about him, other than his fights with Lewis and McCall.

Smith- The one thing Smith could do is hit hard.
Hassim Rahman- Lewis and Sanders found out first hand. Tua was dropped as well.
McCall- has to be able to do something besides take a punch.
Douglas- Real crisp puncher
Akinwande- Is right there with Douglas

actually putting smith up there as the hardest puncher makes alot of sense, i think marvis frazier or jose ribalta said that smith hits harder then tyson and tyson has to hit at least as hard as any of the other 4.
