    Perhaps Alejandro Berrio

    I expect a bunch of people to say Nigel Benn, but his power was really at 160. he wouldn't be a wrong answer though, necessarily.

    Probably g-man, Julian Jackson maybe? Not sure if he was 168? Nigel benn should be considered. G-man only fought there once so can really judge him to be fair.

    yes ..but he was a "big" man....half of what happened to him with benn,was because of weight?

    Yea I agree... He used to weigh in and rehydrate up to 25 lbs.. I know that this sort of dehyradtion limits the water which is in-between ones brain and skull. This , combined with the shots taken from Julian Jackson and Benn did him in.

    G-Man was not really a SWM (had 3 fights there I think and only 1 title fight) he is one of the hardest punching MWs along with Jackson and many others.

    Hard to say who is the hardest punching career SMW, the divison so new.

    G-man is the most likely candidate but he didn't fight much there so it's hard to gauge. Roy Jones had excellent power at 168lbs, his stoppage of Malinga who went the distance with Benn and Eubank is proof of that.

    Possibly Abraham. If he hits you with his money punches, he will knock you out cold.
