Hardest Punchers At 168?

Benn hit harder than RJJ at 168 imo.

 

This aint persnall to u or anythin', but i despise your avatar!!!!!!

 

A few who fortunately predated the supermiddlweight division-

Bob Fitzsimmons
Sam Langford
Tommy Burns
Jack Dillon

 

Yeah. Duran is my favourite fighter of all-time. The avatar shows that I'm unbiased IMO.

 

I would say McClellan, but it's close and hard to tell because Gerald only had one fight at 168, in which, ironically, he was taken out by Benn.

 

Yea , it does , i was just jokin' there!!! Im unbiased when it comes to debates i believe, still cant watch that fight though!!!!

 

Benn was a volume puncher. He didn't truly possess the 1-punch KO power. He usually gained stoppages by several knockdowns and by throwing a lot of punches, which made the referee to stop it.

 

Yeah that's sort of what clouded my stance on it. I also think Benn's power is often sort of blown up because of what happened to Gerald in that fight. That said, that sort of damage didn't just show up during the fight. GMan went into that fight some severe brain **** up beforehand.

I think it's close...but I'm leaning towards GMan.

 

Jones by KO.

 

Hearns still packed a whallop at 168.

 

Benn wasn't a genuine 1 punch KO artist? I'll dispute that. I think his power was slightly blunted at 168 but he was no volume puncher swarmer type. Just ask the fighters who faced him.

 

Lloyd Marshall normally weighed around 168lbs and he could really hit I think it was Burley that said Marshall was the hardest hitter he ever faced.

 

100% right. It's not that Nigel sacrificed power when he moved up to 168; it's that he was no longer the one-dimensional banger he was at 160. Watch the tapes of his early years up 'til his KO loss to Watson. Kamikaze! 'KO or be KO'd' seemed to be his mentality. Watch the difference between Benn-Eubank I (at 160) and II (at 168) and you'll see an improvement in Benn. He became a more complete fighter, not a less powerful one. Making subtle adjustments were as responsible for his victory over McClellan as raw power. The Nigel of 160 never makes it out of round 1.

 

Charles Brewer hit pretty hard ,just watched him clobber Shaun Ballard the South African.
