    Not the greatest heavyweight that Britain produced, but he might indeed have been the hardest puncher.

    Lennox punched harder.

    P4P, Chris Eubank punched harder. So did Haye.

    Lennox Lewis, in my opinion, was the hardest British puncher.

    Pat Barrett had a left hook on him, too. Especially at Jnr welter.

    LLOYD could hit!.Franks jab was a real weapon not many HWs in history could KO people with the jab Bruno could and did .only Foreman and Liston rival it for power.

    I doubt Benn had more power than Bruno. I'd say for one punch power, Bruno rivals any hard hitting heavy.
