Hardest Welterweight puncher ever... who was actually good

[Trainer Monkey]

Or the Raging Bull,Jake LaMotta?

[CutMeMick]

If Cotto continues on this path hes on, he'll also be eligeable for this list.

Or the Raging Bull,Jake LaMotta?

W 83 (30 ko's) He used to wear you down not really hard puncher.

Well he did drop Robinson,and keep in mind alot of those decisions bracket his career
Alot of them late,when he was fighting heavier then he should have,and early in his career when he was fighting 4 rounders
Early in his fights,he allways struck me as trying to feel out an opponent rather then really opening up.

[No Contest]

What about Aaron Pryor, even tho he was best at light welter? 35 out of 39 were ko's.

He never fought at Welterweight i don't think nvm just checked it he fought at Wetlerweight couple of times but that was at end of his career.

[El Kabong]

Robinson....hell of a puncher, still KO'd big middleweights when he moved up

Thomas Hearns #2...he was an explosive puncher

Trinidad 3rd

[DaxxKahn]

As far as just punching power Tommy Hearns.....Tommy hit people so hard he actually broke his wrist on one occasion.....His straight right may have been the best power punch of any welterweight...

Why is Quartey on that list?

Isn't he famous for his jab?

[Taeth]

Or the Raging Bull,Jake LaMotta?

According to boxrec and what I've heard he was always a middleweight, and had a hard time staying down at that weight.

He only fought 3 times at welterweight, and got KO'ed by the only decent one it looks like.

Robinson how was he a hell of a puncher? He sometimes punched guys into submission, but he never really one punched a really middleweight contender like Trinidad or Hearns have done. Remember Fulmer was also a welterweight, and that left hook was good, but I've seen both Trinidad adn Hearns throw harder. And for Hearns to buckle Hagler's legs is something Robinson IMO could never do with one punch.

How about Pipino Cuevas W 35 (31 ko's)

Yeah Hes gotta be at the top of the list. He could definately crack.

You should watch more of his welterweight fights. I believe he was the only guy to floor ODLH with a punch to the head once Oscar was a champion. Also I've seen the Cuevas vs. Duran fight, and Duran was hitting harder by far.

[TitoFan]

IMO, and in the following order:

1. Hearns
2. Trinidad
3. Cuevas
4. Duran
5. Mayorga (should be considered at this weight)
6. Robinson
