Fighters who hit harder than their weight class.

[VG_Addict]

Who were some fighters who hit like a fighter from a higher weight class? I've heard Hamed hit like a middleweight.

[Dark Lord Al]

Julian Jackson must have hit like a HW.

How the hell can you define what a fighters true weight class is? Everyone dehydrates to qualify to make the weight class and the rules allow the fighter 24 hours to rehydrate. Some body types can do it more effectively than others. Some fight can cust as much as 20-30 lbs like Clottey for example walks around 170 but is fighting at 154.

For me Jimmy Wilde tops the list. A bone rack of a man that was barely 100 pounds fighting at 112. Pick a weight and he probably knocked it out. 98 straight wins which will remain unbreakable and 99 ko's in a 145 fight career that saw him only lose 3 times, two of which came when he had one foot in the rocker.

Langford. Another freak of nature that was not much more then a blown up middle but ko'd heavyweights and compiled more ko's then Tyson and Foreman combined.

Agree on the Jackson entry.

I was thinking of Jimmy today , for me not only a great fighter but he
had my favourite nickname ever - The Ghost With The Hammer In His Hand.

Tommy Hitman Hearns has knocked out Heavyweights in the gym.
Knocked out Cruiserweights in the ring.
Former 147 lb Champ.

He fought as a Cruiserweight later in his career, but he wasn't a big Cruiser.
He wasn't even a big Light-Heavyweight.

I think 154 was probably his best weight.
That was back in the same-day weigh-ins era, people didn't dehydrate 18 lbs then, by the $#!t !

[Vendettos]

Currently I'd say

-Scott Quigg
-Carl Frampton
-Rocky Fielding

Quigg and Frampton have been destroying people in a weight class not known for huge punchers.

Fielding also hits very, very hard.

One thing that stands out with the rake in many pics are his pipes. A lot of people say well he fought with 4 oz gloves for some time but how do you overlook the fact that so did his much bigger opponents. I mean that's like wearing bag mitts w/o the wire. Like an extra layer of skin lol. I like the "Mighty Atom" also and "The Tylorstown Terror" Just like Armstrong one nickname was simply not enough.

Julian Jackson. Gerald McLellan. Tommy Hearns. PAC Man from 126 n down. Tito up until Bernard ruined him. Maybe GGG today.
