What are your five hardest hitting Welterweights?

Yeah ,only the other day posters were saying how much they missed your erudite input and perceptive analysis.

One guy said, "there will never be another like him ,"and another agreed, saying, " we will make dead sure of that!"

I don't know if he makes the top 5, but what are the thoughts on Lou Brouillard?

I know he is most noted for his work at MW, and Ive only seen film of him at MW, but he was a ball of muscle and had quite a few KOs early on in his career while at welter. He seemed to have had some pop in his bat.

One from left field,and one I know nothing about.

Yeah, but isnt that something that makes this fun. I know hardly anything about him myself. Other than he was a stout southpaw, liked to block punches with his face, but had some power, at times looked like a lot. Was the WW champ for a while with some good wins before moving up. Probably most famous for multiple DQs against Marcel Thil at MW

Ah now I remember, I used an early version of chat gpt and posted the results as fact. I admitted it immediately but Bronson kept that peddle pushed right to the floor anyways

did anyone figure out if Langford had huge Ko power at 147?

- - Earliest recorded weight 140 in his 2nd year. Then goes to 141 for his 3rd, then 150/155 in his 4th. He was 22 at that time, clearly a growing boy still after turning pro age 19...

He probably developed his power as a middleweight.

Trinidad and Hearns for me.
