Tommy Ryan and Charles McCoy should also be on the list.
Maybe with the old guys, but out of the modern ones Hearns was by far the hardest puncher. of course he would have to get total leverage and throw from long distance, but if that baby landed - you were done!
From what I have seen, Thomas Hearns, by far. When he landed a FULL right cross.....lights out.
After that, Sugar Ray Robinson and Armstrong could both score big....they all could on that list, but those three were the best.
At 147 Thomas Hearns was by far the hardest puncher I have ever seen, and with all due respect to guys like Sugar Ray Robinson or Henry Armstrong, Hearns hit harder than them. Hearns hit harder then his contemporaries at 147 as well and I consider him the hardest puncher of all time at welterweight.
Trinidad. Harderst left hook ever in the welterweight division.

I would like to see the KO % of the fighters listed with only welterweight fights included.
1. Sugar Ray Robinson
2. Sugar Ray Leonard
3. The Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya
