@IamInuit No way would I have Tito Trinidad as one of the hardest punchers in the game ever. In his biggest fights, he wasn't really stopping/hurting his opponent. He had a decent dig, but surely can't make this list?

Those fights were at 160 or above. Even "Manos de Piedra" Duran was unable to carry his power up through the weight divisions. Not being able to knock out Hopkins is hardly a knock on Trinidad's power, given that Hopkins was a natural middleweight, and has never been knocked out in his long career. Winky Wright was never knocked out in his career either... and Trinidad finally fought Roy Jones at what... 170? I think Felix belongs on that list.

He was a monster puncher at 147/154

In terms of big bangers, I always put emphasis on the two-handed bombers. Guys like Hearns, Trinidad, Frazier, Foster, ect get brought up a lot in these discussions, and rightly so because they sent a lot of guys to the hospital, but they were known primarily for one power hand (or in some cases, one power punch). Tommy's piston right and Foster's cannonball left hook were two of the deadliest punches in boxing history, but Tommy didn't really knock a whole lot of people out (if any) with his left hand, nor Foster with his right.

Guys like Jackson, Tyson, Bazooka Gomez, ect could put a guy out with either hand and seemingly with any punch from any angle.
