Who punched harder in their prime?

[Benncollinsaad]

RJ or BHop? I'd go with RJ. Hopkins may have had many ko's in his early career, but it was mostly against smaller guys who were natural mws, unlike him. Roy on the other hand knocked out natural lhws.

Definitely Jones. He had one punch knockout power.

[bojangles1987]

Yep. Not even a debate.

[Joey Giardello]

Not even close roy jones

[Abstraction]

so he was too big to be a MW, but not weight drained either?

prime rj had more power than a prime bhop

I don't understand why would you compare both. It's obvious that Roy hit harder, he was a hell of a puncher.
Bernard Hopkins was never known to have mad power. In his prime he was a great boxer with good/average punching ability. His skills made him KO his opponent.

It's like comparing Mayweather's to Cotto's punching power at WW.

Jones, No Dout!

I was originally gonna make a thread about how big Roy's punching power was/is, but then I came up with this.
