Ray Robinson Punched Harder Than Thomas Hearns?

Robinson hit very very hard for sure but Hearns fists was sheer dynamite. One punch sheer destructive power. At Welter (though he carried his power up very well all the way to cruiser) I think Hearns is quite possibly the hardest hitting welterweight to ever live. The guy had the power of a heavyweight.

Consider the phenomenal check hook he put Hatton away with. I doubt that punch was anything like as heavy as the one Manny flattened Hatton with but it caught him completely cold and thus hit like a jackhammer.
Thats the reason a light punching Collazo was able to almost put him away. he literally leaps into left hands.
