    I don't know what about.

    Trinidad was a brutal puncher as was Hearns. Both are top 5 bangers at 147 without question in my view. It doesn't matter where you rank them h2h or p4p.

    No...a couple of replies were people talking about his power as a top 4, He couldn't KO Whitaker whereas I'm sure Hearns if he caught him clean would have done but ok, I'm not disagreeing. I did read the OP's title.
    He grant's post was about Trinidad's record in general, not quite as good as Hearns overall, etc.

    THIS doesn't read to me as a post just concerning Trinidad's Power, If I'm mistaken, learn how to illustrate your point a bit better.

    All good I don't want a fight either.

    They were the two hardest punching welters I've seen but I'm open to any suggestions for bigger. Clearly SRR was up there and was a better fighter than both but Hearns is my personal choice as a puncher but to each their own.

    Not really...you realised I was right about his post and haven't admitted it. After you told me to admit I misunderstood it.
    Hmm

    I was being magnanimous but you continue looking for an argument.

    Hmm

    Tito was a big puncher but Hearns was the most devastating puncher ever in the welterweight divisions.

    About what?

    You accused JT of ranking Tito as a top 4 all time Welter when he didnt. My opinion is Hearns is a bigger puncher than Tito but there's not a lot in it. That's it. Whats incorrect about that?

    Hegrant mounted a good case for Trinidad being a top flight puncher and fighter and I also agree with that. I disagree that he was better than Hearns but I don't think Hegrant said that either he just provided some perspective in regards to Tommy's welterweight record. Tito fought a lot longer at Welter made more successful defenses and was undefeated at the weight all of which Hearns wasn't. In saying that I think Hearns beats Tito at 147 but that's just my opinion which I'm entitled to as Hegrant is to his.

    Nothing to get snippy about or try to one up anyone over.

    If you're a real and not a alt which I currently doubt, perhaps you should learn how to read and write in addition to studying the sport before making such dumb posts.

    Hearns completely dominated Andries who wasn`t a good finisher anyway.

    He's not a real poster. He's an alt created for exactly that purpose.
