    Nope. No joke, I didn't know that. I also meant it as an earnest question, not a truculent one.

    A bit! A lot of "experts" and boxers of his time rated him the biggest punchers of his time.

    Alfonso Zamora was always one of my favorite punchers at bantamweight. Not saying he was the hardest puncher ever, but he could lay guys out

    You know nothing of hard punchers unless you discuss Pajarito Moreno. Look at his record.

    That sure is an impressive knockout streak, if only it wasn't against McDonalds employees

    Really..I mean, like what more did he have to do to either Mike Quarry and Dlck Tiger? To disparage him in contrast to Julian Jackson is ridiculous.
    Yes, I'd say that they have is a rather conclusive way.

    Fitzsimmons was a Middleweight and was destroying heavyweights and getting quoted as the hardest puncher. Foster was a light heavy that didn't even hit as hard as Joe Frazier

    Though on the flip side, in the same article it quotes "With the light-heavies he was a killer; the heavyweights just took his punches like they was nothing."

    I admit Foster is the hardest punching light heavy ever, but guys like Fitz and Jackson are just the hardest punching non-heavies ever. Even then I might say Fitz breaks the top 20 hardest punchers ever even as a middleweight/LHW
