If you're asking who's more likely to knock down a brick wall with a punch I'd have to say Cuevas, Hearns had great, great power but it came with his delivery while Cuevas had a more raw kind of power.

Hearns and Joe Louis
Cuevas and George Foreman
You put a brick wall in front of the first two, and they will punch a clean hole right through. The second two will hit the wall and knock the whole thing over.

They can all **** at the highest of levels for sure and they have among them different types of power and different signature punches but when i look at that line up and think what Single shot from which guy would i LEAST like to take flush its The Tommy Hearns Right Hand - Boom! U OUT!

He is at the very least the equivilant of what Margarito is today, at least as good.
but still, even if Cuevas COULD have hit Duran cleanly, I dont think even he could have KOed him like Hearns did...when I think about power, I think about knockout power more than anything, and Hearns had tons of it.
the problem with Cuevas is that its hard to imagine him hitting certain fighters cleanly at all...and so that throws you off when you try to gauge how good his power was compared to others.
insane power though. I imagine not many people wanted to fight him.
I agree though, cuevas hit hella hard. I remember the Canadian welterweight clyde grey saying he hit harder than Hearns.
