    There is slick Argentine fellow named Cesar Rene Cuenca who is fighting for the vacant IBF light-welterweight strap. He is 47-0 with 2 knockouts. He punches with proper technique but he just can't crack. His countryman Nicolino Locche had a hard time hurting men too. He had 14 stoppages in 136 bouts.

    Miguel Canto and Ivan Calderon couldn't crack an egg.

    Chris Byrd ??? He was featherfisted but he was far better than the
    worst.

    You can see a youtube video where Byrd does an experiment where his punches are recorded before & after abstinence. He allegedly hit hard on the machine, something over 1200 PSI...

    I vote for Stephen Hawking.
    Watch out for that Hawking radiation though.

    Calderon worked at a waste management facility and his co-workers nicknamed him "Little Tyson" because of his alleged power. They were way off, obviously. Great little fighter was Calderon though.

    Hit hard compared to what? Is 1200 PSI a lot or a little at that weight?
