Re: Who is the hardest punching Brit ever??
Carl Thompson could hit. Even when hurt he could take you out:

Not at World level but Ovill McKenzie is one that could whack.
Re: Who is the hardest punching Brit ever??
Pound for pound I think it has to be Naz although I give notable mentions also to:
Nigel Benn especially at middleweight
David Haye especially at cruiserweight
Frank Bruno
Lennox Lewis
Wayne Alexander
Henry Wharton was another who could really whack.

Great shout. I'd put Benny Lynch up there as well.SaadOffTheDeck wrote:Peter kane
As for my answer to the thread - Its Fitzsimmons or Wilde. Both had the power to knock out much bigger men.
Re: Who is the hardest punching Brit ever??
People say joshua but has hit knocked out people cold from one punch? He unleashes a barrage. David price hits harder than Joshua IMO
Naz is up there for sure.

No Joe C?
For me Lewis, Naz, Benn and Haye.
Some of the others mentioned had power but they didn't beat or KO any top fighters so hard to judge them isn't it? Hide, Bruno and Joshua for example steamed rolled fighters but in Bruno and Hide's case did they ever beat an elite fighter and by KO?

Jock McAvoy was a very feared puncher.
Also Bob Fitzsimmons if he counts as a Brit

In terms of outright force delivered, I'd say Lennox Lewis has to be - the right cross he hit Rahman with is probably the hardest single punch I've ever seen.
