FLINT ISLAND · Post by **FLINT ISLAND** » 18 Jun 2010, 08:43

Frank Bruno, Nigel Benn, David Haye, Lennox Lewis , Naseem Hamed..........

etc, etc

Who do you reckon was thee hardest puncher pound for pound ?

I think its a tough one to call personally - and I am unsure ?

Wrists · Post by **Wrists** » 18 Jun 2010, 08:49

Lennox Lewis with Naz a squeak behind.

Honourable mentions for: Benn and Haye

DavidPayne · Post by **DavidPayne** » 18 Jun 2010, 08:49

Hamed.

Lenny · Post by **Lenny** » 18 Jun 2010, 08:56

Hamed for sure with an honourable mention to Benn and Alexander

Frank Bruno

Frank Bruno - I reckon was as big a puncher as Lennox.

Lennox, pound for pound?
That's impressive.

For me it's Naz.

Haye at Crusierweight was a very heavy handed fella.

although hes no where near proved it david price

i think it depends on what level they were competing at and what level opposition. paul ryan has to be up there so does richie evatt, wayne alexander could knock a wall down. benn was great at middle but not so good at supermiddle.

Got to be Naz for me with Lewis a whisker behind.

Whilst Bruno was a strong hurtful puncher he floored very few top heavyweights.

Finn · Post by **Finn** » 18 Jun 2010, 10:45

Nas if you're looking at multiple and one punch power, in fact he should have risked a rematch with Barrera when you have one punch power like Nas you're in with a good change of KO'ing any fighter.

Big props to Bruno, Benn, Haye and Lewis.

Although Eubank said Calzaghe was the hardest puncher he had been in the ring with - before his hands fell apart obviously.

palooka · Post by **palooka** » 18 Jun 2010, 10:49

joe calzaghe was a brilliant puncher until he developed hand trouble. ensley bingham was bad news! ady lewis could hit some, enzo maccinarelli had an evil left hook and carl thompson could punch with the very best.

palooka · Post by **palooka** » 18 Jun 2010, 10:52

paul ryan 25 wins 23 knockouts (3 losses all by knockout) a proper hitters record.

Lennox for me.

Bomber 1 · Post by **Bomber 1** » 18 Jun 2010, 11:28

Hamed,Haye,Lewis,Alexander,Maccarinelli,Bruno we have had some fantastic punchers this side we really have..

Just watching the Nas v Barrera post fight interview
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3xokEvlPgM

Nas actually said he planned for a ko and wanted a rematch to ko him in - why didnt it ever happen?

coghaugen11 · Post by **coghaugen11** » 18 Jun 2010, 11:42

Benn for me

Multiply the above photo by 1000, double it and add two zeros and you will close to finding out the reason.

Lol it was a shame!
