Robinson vs Hearns in terms of Punching Power

Id give Robinson a close edge. As already stated Sugar Ray seemed to carry his power better throughout a fight. He had better two handed power.

I think Sugar Ray`s lefthook was the most devastating punch the ring has ever seen. His right wasn't as good as Hearns but he still flattened folks with it.

 

About as even as it gets really. I went for the slightly more robust Robinson. Think how devastating his highlight reel is and remember that much of his best stuff is not available on film.

Thanks Turbo!

 

Yeah, on a different night Barkley won without needing a Hail Mary.

 

Tommy's knockouts sometimes looked like one punch, but Cuevas and Duran and Shuler all were preceded by punches which wobbled and hurt them. Cuevas had taken 2 rounds of hard punches up until this point, like Duran did 4 years later.

 

I think it's Hearns. Robinson is by far the better puncher, though.

 

Well...

Cruiser or welter Hearns?

 

Interesting post for sure !
