The hardest puncher, I have to give it to Trinidad.

Hearns KO'd Duran after a 15 round beating from Hagler, who is by the way an ATG puncher.

What also makes me vote for Trinidad is the KO's of Campas and Mayorga. People might argue with this, but those men had chins of steel in their prime, they hadn't been beat up, and he annihilated them.

Hearns had 5 title fights as a welter, 1 he lost, and 3 vs mediocre opposition and you think he was the most dominant welter is history?

Hearns ko of Duran was above ww

Trinidads ko of Mayorga was above ww and Mayorga was totally shot!

I voted Hearns

I see what you're saying about Cuevas, dude had frightening power, but we're talking about the very best

I would say either Hearns or Robinson.

@ the notion of Napoles hitting harder than Trinidad.

Robinson,Hearns and Tito were the 'better' punchers and all all-round better fighters i agree

One dimensional fighters don't outbox Ray Leonard, Wilfredo Benitez and Virgill Hill, then break Roberto Duran in half in the same career.

In some cases name dropping old timers is a smart thing to do.

Not in this one though. You should actually watch some Armstrong Napoles fights before thinking they hit harder than Trinidad..
