Big difference from a natural puncher & guys that need technique & leverage to punch.

A natural puncher always has that in the bag, where as a guy that needs technique can generally only get off his big punch from a particular position. Throw them off their game & their power tends to evaporate, but a natural is generally at his most dangerous when things are falling apart.

Current natural punchers out of the list:

Lucas Matthysse
Gennady Golovkin
Randall Bailey
Manny Pacquaio
Arthur Abraham
Magomed Abdusalamov

& I'd probably add Denis Boystov, who might be the hardest short puncher the heavyweight division has seen a while.

Both categories of fighters are natural punchers, the technique and leverage just allows certain fighters to unleash their natural power to the fullest extent.

Many fighters can deliver a perfect straight right hand while turning their backfoot and putting their whole body into it like Hearns did, but not many can do as much damage as he did.

Who's comparing? I was just stating that they are both big punchers.

Fair enough. I was just commenting on another post that said Froch hit hard, was simply giving my opinion on Froch's power.

Scary

Kessler is one of the hardest hitters in the game.
