Who hit harder Chris Byrd or Julian Jackson?

I guarantee you that if this cruiser who according to you "can't crack an egg" hits you with full power with knock your crap out. A small guy can't hit harder than a natural much bigger guy. It is why Duran was a killer puncher in his natural weight class and then he could not ko a fly at mw.

 

Lamotta was a middle and he never was a puncher in his own weight class and Robinson was a killer puncher at welter so the difference of natural size is not enough here

 

Robinson barely did take anything, he had great defence and movement, so this nonsense does not deflates anything

 

Lamotta never was a natural lhw,it is a bull**** invented by you, he was a mw who loved eating.

 

Too wide a gap for the bigger puncher in pound for pounds terms also to be the bigger puncher in straight-up terms.

I'm sure there have been elite light heavies or perhaps even cruisers (but not the natural ones, I mean guys that started at MW/SMW/LHW and drifted upward and wound up there) whose straight-up power was less than Jackson's...and I'm sure there are super middles that have packed more wallop than Byrd.

From a natural 154 to a natural 212, however - that's just too much ground to cover (and too much important ground, at that - a 58lb difference is more glaring when comparing a junior middle with an even smallish heavy, than if we added that same 58lb on the backend and compared say Byrd to a fellow heavyweight averaging 270)

 

So what about Mariano's power vs a hw Byrd then?

 

I did. Not surprised

 

Marciano was a natural cruiser and Byrd a natural lhw,does not matter the weight.
