who are the top 10 hardest punching......

I agree, Pavlik deserves to be called a hard puncher though, not that you're disputing that, just thought i'd put that in though.

Hopefully these two will meet soon I have them 1 and 2 currently for MW's and think it will be a hell of a fight!

 

ketchel could of been great he hits the hardest.

 

Well, HBO says they have a date in 01/2009, Pavlik camp says they want Abraham after Hopkins, Abraham camp says they want Pavlik after Marquez. So, I think it will happen, they just have to go by their next opponents. Additionally those two guys are made for each other, Pavlik comes at you throwing punches while having a lackluster defence while Abraham wants you to come to him and counters - I think this fight is close to 50/50 but I slightly favour Abraham due to his better defence and chin and I´m pretty sure there will be a KO but if it goes to the cards Pavlik wins.

 

Briscoe? Why Briscoe?

 

Rul ... Pretty good list !

 

I think this is a difficult question and I have played with this idea some.

MW is one of the toughest divisions for me to try to come to a conclusion about. I change my mind about this division a lot

Current list (might change next week)

Benn
Carter
Graziano
Hagler
Hearns
Ketchel
Jackson
Jones Jr
Langford
McClellan

people that get swapped in and out a lot

Brisco
Cerdan
Fitzsimmons
Fullmer
Hart
Hostak
McCoy
Monzon
Tiger
Valdez

 

Interesting take I have Pavlik as a slight favorite to win. Abraham is a great fighter but Pavlik improves everytime out-hell I hate to see a loser of these two but it will be a great fight.

 

No order.

1. Julian Jackson
2. Eugene Hart
3. Rubin Carter
4. Freddie Steele
5. Rodrigo Valdez
6. Roy Jones Jr
7. Charley Burley
8. Gerald McClellan
9. Nigel Benn
10. Eduardo Lause

I'd add Hearns in there somewhere.

 

Jackson doesn't belong that high on a middleweight list. He was very obviously faaaar harder hitting at junior middle.

Similar to Mugabi moving up to middle against Hagler. Hagler's said multiple times Hart hit him hardest, harder than Hearn's or Mugabi.

Sure, P4P they might of had more power then Hart, but Hart was a legitmate middleweight.

 

lets not forget, the often forgotten Earnie Shavers

 

When did he fight at mw?

 

Well, like I said if it goes to the cards it´s all Pavlik, possibly even by a landslide BUT with Abraham it´s a big chance that it won´t. And Abraham has the better chin and defence, Pavlik´s defence has huge holes and his chin is average. Also Abraham´s trainer always puts up a very good strategy which fits right to his opponents strength and weaknesses while Pavlik knows only one way to fight. I´m really looking forward for it.
