    i just thought of something.....most have chosen tarvouris cloud as the hardest puncher in lhw.
    calzaghe was hit to the canvas first round last two fights,the only two fights in lhw for him.
    if it had been cloud he was fighting on any of these nights then it would of been good night calzaghe .correct.:dead
    just a thought.....

    I don't think Torres punches that hard - the clubfighter (Morua I think) who was stood on his head and stopped by Witter took Torres the distance.

    Witter and Hatton both hit harder I'd say.

    Again, I'm reminded that Margarito just walked through it and broke his heart. Is Kermit a heavy hitter or is Margarito made of iron? Maybe a little of both.:bbb

    Witter hits harder then Torres???

    granted i've only seen 3 of his fights, but from what i've seen you cant even make an argument for him, just because Torres couldn't stop him and Witter did, doesn't mean that he has more power

    i mean hell, does that mean Forrest hits harder then Oscar, Vargas, Cotto, Mayorga etc.. just because he dropped him and they couldn't, nah some styles are just more effective on certain fighters

    but all you gotta do is watch either Torres-Holt fight or the Torres-Cotto fight to see that he's the hardest hitter in the division, i'd say the only fighter who comes close to his power in the division is Holt, Hattons power is overrated 90% of the time he hurts fighters from draining them with constant body shots, he aint got that constant 1-shot power that Torres does

    Solid list, but I would have a few changes:

    122 - Throw Caballero in the mix as well - he has more than his fair share of one punch KOs against solid competition. I'd still go with Juanma though.
    140 - Urango (OBVIOUS choice here I think)
    147 - Jackson Bonsu also has a solid case here
    200 - Wilson; certainly not Alexeev anyway
    HW - Vladimir Virchis could make a pretty strong case here, as could Demetrice King
