[Joey Giardello]

Hardest Puching Featherweight of all time? poll!! For me its naseem Hamed the guy hit like a middleweight, if he would of stayed with brendan ingle and not lost focus he would of been one of the greats

None of the above............................................. .................... so I will not vote in the poll........ Just from the thirties onwards..... gee the fighters before Armstrong must have been light-punching weaklings. Who the hell was George Dixon and Abe Attell and Johnny Kilbane and Kid Chocolate and company anyway.

Wilfredo Gomez hardly had any fights at featherweight, in fact I am not sure he K.O'd anybody there. great fighter & puncher none the less.


I vote nobody on the list, my vote goes to Ricardo Moreno.

Good call. If he did KO anyone, it was when he had non-title fights, and the opponents weren't noteworthy.

Again, forgotten is the bomber from the 80's, Antonio Esparragoza.

Sugar Ramos could do with a mention.

Off the list I'd go with Danny Lopez

[New England]

some serious bangers on that list

but olivares and morales don't belong

at FW olivares was punching a bit above his weight.

he always looked small.


and morales was always a solid puncher but honestly he doesn't belong on this list.


my votes are probably for saddler
lopez
and hamed

no order. unbelievable power. lopez chest and shoulders honestly looked like they belonged on a welterweight.

honorable mention to pacquiao for the top ten, whose power carried better than any of those men, but never really figured out how to set his hard stuff up until he was at higher weights


his left hand at 122 and 126 was frightening, but he was very crude and he telegraphed the **** out of it.

the only real question was whether it was coming behind two jabs or one

Arguello or Saddler. Hamed never KOed an opponent who was legitimately world-class at the Hamed fought them.

BENNY 'The Jet" URQUIDEZ ????????

i'd have a hard time putting him in my top ten "greatest" FW punchers
or "best," based on his competition (and the fact that his best opponent took his power out of the picture without much fuss)


but for the "hardest" blows he's up there in my humble estimation

very explosive puncher

Would you not count Kevin Kelley? It's not just about the 'world class' status of the fighter in my opinion, it's about their chin. Naz KOed many opponents with good chins such as Daniel Alicea. Of course the one with the best chin (Wayne McCullough) stayed on his feet, which is telling.
