    Julian and Hearns have to be up there, they did however have flaws but power wise , if you let them , they'd could kill you with the explosive punches they shoot, the power they both had was absolutely natural........

    Stanley Ketchel, but from the choices you mentioned I would say Jackson...

    I thought Benn was even scarier when he moved up.

    I lean towards Benn/ He was all but scary at 160lb. And he stopped prime McClellan though in a different weight class. All in all he was a great puncher. Hagler is ok but he struggled with Roberto Duran. Stanley Ketchel was a fighter of different era. He shouldn't be compared with guy of entirely distant epoch.
