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?

I think Derrick Holmes and Terrence Alli would probably go: to what you just said!

Exactly.

I guess we could add Deontay Wilder to the list now.

Guess you haven't seen Valero at the end of tier one. Valero... and then Foster, Trinidad, Hagler, Morales and Rosario lol.

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

Hopefully Marvin Johnson was an honorable mention.

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

Gee what a surprise!

Truly unbiased.

That's what the man said!

It's not like it's out there.

Neither outlandish, nor surprising.

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

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.

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