Top 10 hardest hitting light heavies since 1970

hearns at lhw? are you kidding me? even roy jones did hit harder than hearns at lhw, and michael moorer was an absolute killer at lhw 100% kos, i know that it was not vs the best oposition but you could argue that he did hit a little harder than foster. debatable of course, but moorer was a monster puncher at lhw, he was drained, he had cruiser frame..

 

If based on punching power alone, then probably not as streight forward as might appear, many a good Banger did not break through...

A selection that might not spring immediately to mind

Donnie LaLonde (tends to be remembered for the Leonard fight )
Miguel Angel Cuello (the forgotton 3rd Bull - After Galindez and Ahumada )
Charlie Devil Green ( What a mixed up individual )
Steve Aczel ( Aussie Banger )
Theunis Kok (South African Banger )
Julian Letterlough ( US Banger )


I am sure more will spring to mind

 

joe Lasisi was a hard hitting light heavy. So was Mario Melo. But their opposition can't justify a high rating

 

1-Bob Foster
2-Michael Moorer
3-Michael Spinks
4-Sergey Kovalev
5-Saad Muhamad
6-Stevenson
7-Marvin Johnson
8-Letterlough
9- Mustafa Muhammad
10- Dwight Qawi

 

M. Spinks hit harder than Moorer.

 

Spinks was second only to Bob Foster as a puncher.

 

Bob Foster was in a class by himself...no lightheavy hit as hard as he did.

 

Michael Moorer was 20 and 0 with 20 ko's at LH.

 

MY top five , no surprise here, are

Foster
Mustafa Muhammad
Saad Muhammad
Spinks
Moorer

I am truly not sure on the order as all were monster hitters .. don't under estimate Moorer .. he was brutal at 175
