JJ isn't the hardest P4P puncher either. Even in the very modern era, G-Man, RJJ, Tyson hit harder P4P.

Hardest P4P puncher of all time might be Marciano. I know he was an HW, but the guy weighed 184 without cutting weight.
uhhh...marciano no chance. marciano hit hard. not even the hardest heavy weight puncher ever, let alone p4p. roy jones jr. at what weight class? he was never really that hard of a puncher at any class, he just overwhelmed people. gerald mcclellan wrecked people, but still, julian hit harder than g-mac, look at the records of the people he gerald knocked out and then ask herol graham who hit harder.

tyson hit hard, foreman hit harder, shavers hit harder than him...

pound for pound: tommy hearns, naseem hamed, wilfredo gomez, julian jackson, and vic darchinyan are the 5 hardest punchers i have seen p4p

and what does weighing 184 without cutting weight mean? why would a heavyweight want to cut weight?

and actually hearns was pretty weak hitting til he turned pro, thats because pro boxing is a whole lot different than ama boxing, hamed was the same way, his trainer brendan ingle said: "the naz fellow was a pillow puncher until he learned how to plant his feet"

i think you need to do a bit more research before you try to shoot down someone else's post. by the name you've selected to post under, of course marciano would be the hardest puncher
