Hardest Punchers
Hardest Punchers
I know this has been covered to death.But I don't mean number of kos or who we deem the hardest punchers.But rather like the Ring interviews:"Best I ever faced".
Is the a listing by weight of the hardest Punchers,named so by their opponents?

Re: Hardest Punchers
Exactly.
Re: Hardest Punchers
I guess we could add Deontay Wilder to the list now.
Re: Hardest Punchers
Guess you haven't seen Valero at the end of tier one. Valero... and then Foster, Trinidad, Hagler, Morales and Rosario lol.

Re: Hardest Punchers
I don't think much of Valero, but he could swat. Agreed I wouldn't have him there either. So much wrong with the list I just grabbed two obvious ones. Lol

Re: Hardest Punchers
Hopefully Marvin Johnson was an honorable mention.

Re: Hardest Punchers
LOL. I wonder how many 'hardest hitters' lists are actually on the forum by now.

It's not like it's out there.

Re: Hardest Punchers
Julian "The Hawk" Jackson to me was the hardest pure puncher of my lifetime. What a puncher!

Re: Hardest Punchers
TBH Liston doesn't impress me as much. His ko percentage was 75 percent I think, very good but, I guess his power tends to be over rated among us. Although George Foreman did attest to his power so I don't know.oogiebe wrote: ↑12 Nov 2019, 15:48Did I miss seeing Sonny Liston?Onetimeonly wrote: ↑12 Nov 2019, 15:46

Also his connections are suspicious to me, how many of his opponents were told to lay down???
