    Duran brutalized Davey Moore at 154 , wobbled Ray Leonard at 147 , and knocked down Iran Barkley, and nearly out at 160.

    Hearns carried it much better. He was a beast. On paper, has all the attributes of the perfect boxer.

    Hearns at 160 was nowhere near the puncher he was at 147 while Pac seems to be hitting as hard at 140/147 as he did at 126/130.

    I'm not sure...160 and above Hearns only real notable KO is De Witt.

    Again I have to disagree. Mosley is a huge puncher at 135 and 147, but never looked to have the same pop at 154.

    The only modern fighter that seems to come close is Duran to me. Arguello and Hearns behind those.

    Meh... I love Shane, but his power didn't carry like the others mentioned here. If it had, he'd have won at least one of the fights against Wright and Forrest.

    Vargas was shot to bits when they fought, so we can throw those out. Took him 12 to stop Mayorga...

    Armstrong is into double figures for KO wins at title level as a welterweight. Like Pacquiao, his best natural weight is probably lightweight. He doesn't hit as hard as Pacquiao to begin with, but he carried his power up through the divisions just as well.

    Langford's punching power got better as he grew, or appeared to. Freaky ****, that. Fitz certainly carried his power.

    I'd toss in Oscar, but he was about as much a real 130 pounder as Roy Jones was a real junior middleweight...

    Roldan and Shuler were good knockouts at 160 and Dennis Andries had a solid chin at 175.
