    Colin Jones..if he found your chin Definately

    Also Rodrigo Valdez spent some of his early career at Welter

    If we are talking Punching power only, with no techique in delivery being considered
    there must be a good few guys whose sole asset was punching power and were - on this aspect - comparable

    A few Gunslingers Jorge Maysonet, Micky Hughes , And Darren Dyer

    Looks like somebody needs to read and watch some more Sugar Ray

    Hows this for evidence, a way over the hill Ray Robinson stretching one of the most durable middleweights ever Gene Fullmer, this is the only knockout of Gene's entire career,

    Name a fighter as proven in durabilty as Fullmer that Trinidad ever KO'd ?

    what welterweight fighters or greats got by SOLELY on their power? someone like that could factor into the discussion

    ie: a julian jackson at 147

    I was at the Garden when Tito fought William Joppy and he destroyed him. I was ringside and could not believe his power ... just brutal.

    Two confident picks would be Hearns and Walcott.

    They might be the two hardest punchers in the history of the division, and they couldn't be more different physicaly!

    Very interesting point ... Sam Langford said Jow Walcott hit him the hardest he was ever hit in his career ... maybe hard to believe but what he wa quoted as saying ...

    Jack Johnson also said that Walcott was one of the hardest punchers he ever shared a ring with.

    Walcott was obviously a dreadnought.

    Robinson & Hearns are obvious answers.

    Well, we have his record at welterweight as well as film footage of him knocking out middleweights, extremely tough middleweights.... & a couple of them with one punch.
