    Robinson had better one punch power than Tito but not Hearns and Cuevas.

    No offense to anyone, but it's irritating when the same three answers are given for a reacquiring question month after month after month.

    Jorge Luis Maysonet is probably top 20 power wise at WW, at least. 100% KO record, and dropped the iron chinned Aaron Davis hard, which puts him above Mark Breland who's a murderous puncher who deserves mentioning himself.

    I remember Maysonet knocked out undefeated Hugh Kearney 10 seconds into their fight with the first punch he landed. Ref didn't even bother counting, guy went down like he was dead

    Jones went the distance twice with McCrorry. The Cobra didn't!

    To me, hardest hitting, is not best puncher, its just crunching raw power, one hit power, for instance, Smokin Joe would def. not be the hardest hitting heavyweight ever, but prolly one of the better punchers.

    For this category though, an argument could be made for both sides for the man that is obvious for the "hardest hitting" answer.. Hearns.

    To Russell, I will admit you have more knowledge of the sport than me(im a youngin, haha), but the question is hardest hitting, dude aint asking for a list so shouldnt there only be like 5 answers max anyways.. I mean, the guy you mentioned, yourself claimed "top 20"

    I'm young too, Matt. I'm going on 21 I've been a fan of the sport for a few years.

    If you think the EXACT same five answers are better then there actually being broader discussion, such as mentions of fighters beyond the obvious... Don't know what to tell you. I come here to learn and discuss things.

    I'm not faulting anyone, the regurgitation is just... meh.

    It just reminds me of General but going much slower.

    I don't know how anyone could ever want to hear the same half dozen things over and over again, regardless. :dead:bart

    Well it seems to me if someone wants an answer to this question you need the opinion of various posters to come up with an answer, and yes that means the guy who wins is going to get the most responses and posts. It's the nature of the beast. In any event, I vote Hearns, who admittedly has been mentioned.

    Maybe a poll is a better method if repeating a fighters name is repetitive.

    Technically, 23 is more like it.

    From what I've seen Hearns and Cuevas but Walcott might have been the hardest hitter at this weight.
