Funny how 4 idiots keep trying mentioning examples trying to prove that does not matter the size . Lesson for you idiots. If the size difference is not so big and the lightly smaller guy is a top puncher and the other one is not then the first one can hit harder. If both men are natural hws then the weight is more secundary. When there is a big size difference In very very rare cases when the bigger guy can't break an egg and the smaller guy is a top puncher in his own weight class then the smaller guy MAYBE could hit harder h2h than the much bigger guy. But overall a natural hw with average hitting power will hit harder than a natural welter who is a top puncher in his natural division.
I was answering this thread in a street fight sense not the ring. Size is not necessarily means you at the best. My Sifu used to provide the muscle for a major Asian Crime Lord and the fighter who got the bulk of the work was a kickboxer who in a pro fight fought a kickboxer who as a boxer fought Obelemjias who fought Hagler twice for the world title.

This post gets to the nub of the matter. Byrd's entire style was geared towards hit and don't get hit and such fighters rarely show us their best in the punch power category. Actually, when Byrd really went for a hard shot he hurt guys. He was one of the few men in history to ever hurt a prime Tua (albeit to the body).
This is like asking who the harder puncher is between Paulie Malignaggi or Naoya Inoue. I’ll take better punching technique and mechanism over bigger guy.
