    I couldnt say personally, i'll be interested to see some lists though. I normally credit Ketchel with being the hardest hitter here.

    Ketchel (I am a biased fan though)

    2nd place is up for grabs but probably Graziano.

    8 more? here are a few:

    Zale
    Fitzsimmons
    Benn
    Papke

    Pavlik current day.

    Pavlik is a accumulation type of puncher, Abraham has more power in today´s division.

    I agree, I forgot Valdez and perhaps Langford (although he almost never fought at 160 lbs)...

    Pavlik rarely throws big shots, just those hard straights. I think he has more power than Abraham, but Abraham gets off more powershots (namely that brutal uppercut).

    Well, Abraham throws not often anything else but powershots but that´s due to his lazy style. Imo Abraham has more one-punch power while Pavlik makes up with the amount he throws.
