Hardest puncher - Benn at SMW or Jackson at MW

Jackson

 

He was very one-dimensional, hardly surprising bearing in mind his trainer who was hopeless, and his lack of decent opposition to that point.

Peak Benn probably takes out peak Graham, but don't rule out him being outboxed and dropping a UD.

Graham is probably top 25 at 160 - though his accomplishments suggest otherwise.

 

benn was a bit of a clubber. he had decked his opponants 45 times when he fought sherry (i think almost 60 times in his whole career)

jackson was an aggresive fighter but landed these sharp crisp hooks and sweeps.

jackson for me

 

Jackson for sure

 

Julian was the more pure puncher.More one punch power.

 

woud have to say jackson.....some of his one punch finishes at middleweight are just brutal..
Benns power was far more evident at middleweight, saying that i still wouldnt wanna take one of his shots at SMW!!?
Woulda loved to have seen these guys get it on at middleweight......both gentlemen out of the ring...in it...true warriors!!?

 

Julian Jackson hands down.

 

Julian Jackson is arguably the hardest P4P puncher of all time -- Benn is not...

The answer is Julian Jackson and anyone who says otherwise is just a bias moron

 

At 168 Benn seemed to be against guys who were naturally a bit bigger than he was, so his bombs didn't have the same effect than at 160.

Remember Jackson went back down to 154 towards the end of his career. Wasn't a big middleweight himself. Frightening power.

 

agree with this, jackson's punches were more fluid than benn's

 

edit

 

Jackson, I remember watching a Jackson match back in 89 where Mike Tyson was commentating and claimed Jackson probably hits harder than most of the heavyweights he fought up to that point.

When I think of one punch knockout power, Jackson is the first fighter that comes to mind.

 

IMO Jackson was the greatest P4P puncher in history. I only go back to the eighties though so I'd be interested in seeing other people's idea of who had the best 1 punch power P4P.

 

I would probably rate Jackson #1 P4P puncher all time, I can't think of anyone else that would simply put people to sleep like that , with arm punches sometimes .... scary ,

 

Jackson without a doubt. Bone crunching power. Great fighter. I'll ask this how does Jackson V oscar, tito, mosley at 154 end up. I honestly think he would KO/TKO all of them.
