    Who are the top 5 WORLD CHAMPION middleweight punchers of all time?
    I'll post mine later, but none of them have fought in the last 30 years.

    Golovkin too. It will go down as part of his legacy that Froch and Martinez both outright ducked him because of his punching power, the fact that sparring partners are saying he hits harder than heavyweights like Wach. Add that to the fact that he's currently dominating everybody.

    Jackson-McClennan had to be the hardest punching MW fight ever. How Gerald stood up to those Jackson bombs amazes me.

    McClellan wasn't a real middleweight, I have no idea how he managed to make 160lbs considering he used to come into the ring at around 185lbs.

    good list ....... Graziano and Carter may have been limited but could bang with the best of them

    I think both are a bit overrated in the power department... Graziano worked mostly on welters. Carter, and I hate to be all boxrec here, only finished 19 of 40 opponents. He certainly looked the part but it didn't necessarily translate into results...
