Who is the Hardest punching Middleweight?

[VanesBoxing]

Abraham is definitely top 3, but ya i like Kelly Pavlik too..

[TheEvilSaint]

taylor doesnt hit nearly as hard as people are saying.

edison miranda is the hardest hitter.

pavlik is a good hitter, but his punches are more effective because of accuracy and timing instead of power.

[aljon]

Miranda and Abraham are current top hitters, all time I'd have to say it's Julian Jackson. I loved his style.. Always coming forward and a very textbook kind of fighter.

the hardest hitting MW of all time IMO was stanley ketchel. of course, almost nobody here ever saw him fight. but i saw clips of his fight with jack johnson and i've heard a lot of archival praise for his power.

ring magazine has him ranked #6 in the top 100 hardest p4p hitters in history. with a record of 52-4-4 with 49 KOs, i'd say he was a pretty hard hitting MW.

[Shanus]

Right now it's Miranda.

But all time it's either Benn or Jackson.

[Piggu]

I think Taylor and Miranda punch pretty hard. Taylor has faced probably the 2 best defensive fighters in the sport in his last 3 fights so we haven't seen him land his bombs against them.

[DarkSpyder]

Nigel Benn, the Dark Destroyer, hit harder.

I'd say Abraham right now, and agree with Shanus about Julian Jackson (all time).

[Larry Merchant]

B-hop hit hard as **** but he didnt always follow up....Nigel Benn was the hardest hitter also Hearns. Allen Green got good power

Really, it's Taylor. Taylor's punches are just shorter and more compact than Miranda and Abraham, who have a bluntness to their blows that diminishes impact, as compared to Taylor's crisper, straighter shots.

Miranda is just a no-style kind of bomber, I love him to death but realistically I don't think too much of his technique. Jerson Ravelo told me that at an Olympic qualifier he saw Miranda launched into the air, spin around and land on his back from a hook.

I'd love to see that! I have heard he was extremly crude and all out throwing bombs through most of his amature fights. He had a big fan club in Colombia for it. If you know how to get a hold of any of his amature fights I would be willing to pay to get a hold of them!
