    I'm gonna say Mathew Saad Muhammad hit the hardest. He didn't have snap of Foster but he was so damn strong he could knock guys out with arm punches. Especially his right hand. He was Formenesque.

    Bob Satterfield hit way harder tha Foster. Why people say his power in LHW is irrelevant? He fought a lot in LH and barely scratch them (watch his fight with Doug Jones). Satterfield consistently stagger HWs during his time. Heck! unlike Foster, Satterfield was known for being a heavyweight puncher not a light heavy.

    People who fought Spinks and Saad:

    Yaqui Lopez:
    BEST PUNCHER
    Spinks: He’s an awkward puncher, he hit me on the temple and I went down. The referee counted, I didn’t hear, one, or two, or three, or four, you hear five and it felt very far away, six, seven. I thought time to get up, I looked at my corner and they tell me ‘eight, get up’. He knocked me down three times, he’s a puncher.

    Marvin Johnson:
    BEST PUNCHER
    Spinks: He was the only fighter to knock me out with one punch. That is the main thing that separates his punching abilities from everyone else in my book because that had never happened. It was not an easy thing to accomplish, not with me anyway.

    Murray Surtherland:
    BEST PUNCHER
    Spinks: He was way ahead of Saad. (he also fought Hearns)

    Vonzell Johnson:
    BEST PUNCHER: Probably it was Michael. Matthew could punch too, but Mike had a sneaky kind of power in his punches and a sneaky right hand.

    Sorry Man, 4 people said otherwise. Based by the way they're saying, they all say Spinks hit WAY harder.

    There's literally a bunch of quotes Jake saying Satterfield hit the hardest. Noted that he fought Lloyd Marshall, Sagar Ray Robinson and Billy Fox.

    Did Spinks hit harder than Bob Foster? He was champion from 1968-1974.

    Foster. This man was the human equivalent of a Russian roulette.
