Coming to a Consensus on the P4P Hardest Puncher Ever

Yeah, I misread.

 

They must have been a fine batch of heavyweights. He'd be destroyed fighting heavies as a middle in later era's.

What light heavyweight hit as hard as Frazier? He wasn't exactly feather fisted and was known as a damn hard puncher in his day. You've already conceded Foster to be the biggest punching 175 ever.

 

It would be a miracle if he made the top 20 punchers (with no weight consideration as you imply) today let alone ever.

 

Langford and Walcott (original) deserve a mention considering how they were able to carry their punch against much larger fighters. Personally I feel Satterfield was the hardest puncher pretty much a super middleweight by today standards and knocked out heavyweights cold, freaky power.

Voted for Jackson when looking at guys like Fitz, Langford and Walcott they wore smaller gloves in those days which can affect the power although less protection for their hands so goes both ways.

 

Jack Johnson said the opposite that Choynski was a bigger puncher also spoke very highly of Ketchel power. Its difficult to truly say.

 

Although he doesn't have the greatest records didn't pretty much everyone that fought Curtis Sheppard say he was the hardest puncher they faced, Moore spoke very highly of his power above Rocky according to him. Also regarding Shavers according to James Tills, Tyson hit like a "homosexual" compared to Shavers.

Just to be clear you are saying Fitz at 160 pounds or less hits harder than every guy in the world today excepting Wilder and maaaaaaaaybe Joshua?

 

I will readily go on record saying as of right now Lennox Lewis and Wlad would have more power than any version of Fitz.....................for starters.

I see the question asked all the time where are the 190 pound heavyweights in the last 50 or more years ruling the division. The same can be said about 160 pound guys knocking out heavyweights and hitting harder than most heavies. Any referral to GGG will be laughed upon.

Barbados Joe Walcott is another that many would refer to as being able to ko front line heavyweights at 5'2 and not many pounds. It sure wouldn't be happening in the last 40 years. He may have even been somewhat of a genetic freak but there are limits and common sense. Not only were heavyweights weaker on the whole back then but sensationalism was quite healthy as well.

 

Fitz rarely weighed in for fights and it is believed often gave his weight as below what it actually was.

 

I've given you the actual weights for their fights ,which blows your argument completely out of the water.
I'm not prepared to pursue this dead end further.

 

Yes, I can't compete with your mighty intellect.But then who could?
