    Arguello is a good shout. Harder puncher at LW than Duran.

    How many one-punch knockouts did Duran have at LW, Southpaw? What makes him such a super puncher?

    I'm not saying he isn't dangerous. I'm saying there are others that should be considered harder punchers, which is what this thread is about.

    Lightweight hardest puncher 1940-1990 [not the best fighter] Lew Jenkins bag of bones, but TNT puncher...
    Welterweight---- Tommy Hearns [pure one punch dynamic right cross]
    Heavyweight----1940 version of Joe Louis [lightning in a bottle]

    Louis is a great choice...when he knocked you down 9 outa 10 times you didnt get back up!
