      Cuevas
      Trinidad
      Robinson

      Lemme think about the 5th one.

      Emile Griffith wasn't a big puncher.

        I would go ahead and give the 5th spot to Ray Leonard or Jose Napoles. Neither were devastating punchers really, but both were great boxers and could take you out late in fights.

            As bad a dude that Tommy Hearns was (& probably will always be!) and even though the Hitman owned Cuevas, I think that Cuevas hit harder punch for punch than Hearns did. Cuevas broke jaws, eye sockets, speed bags, ribs...
            His problem was he had the impossible task of reaching Hearn's chin. No shot of that. But my opinion is that Pipino Cuevas was that hardest punching welterweight ever. He just didn't always connect...
