    Up to and including the Watson fight - sure. Eubank was a massive hitter. After that tragedy he backed off on the power.

    The only time I ever saw him let fly with the bombs after that fight was against Carl Thompson at LH. I guess he thought Thompson was big enough to withstand them.

      I had hair like that when I was 14, and I got mugged.

      I think you get mugged if you have Morrissey hair. Apart from Morrissey, he'd say something hurtful to the muggers and make them feel small.

        Your so dense it's un real.

        Kessler is probably the most powerful over all, but it's hard to tell for sure.
        Let's guess who had the highest KO ratio of his opponents? Lacy! At the time of them fighting anyway.

        I don't know who had the most power. I personally don't think it was Kessler. I think Eubanks had more power than Kessler, but his record is misleading. The majority of his wins after the second Watson fight were decisions because of the horrible accident, but, previously he had knocked out the majority of his opponents, quite viciously in many cases.

        Kessler is up there, but Mitchell was certainly a big puncher as well. Straight up raw power. I still think Lacy was the biggest puncher he had faced. Biggest KO % and had KO'd all but one of his title fight opponents. He was a bad-ass puncher at the time. Still is really, just lost the confidence.

          The Eubank that Calzaghe fought was gunshy and afraid of unleashing his full power - the direct result of the Watson fight. He was still a formidable opponent but I think power wise it would be Kessler.

          RJJ will be the biggest hitter Calzaghe has faced.

            Jeff "left Hook" Lacey the mini Tyson would have to be the hardest hitter he had faced, only problem was he did not manage to lay a glove on Joe for 12 rounds, all good and well having all that power but you cant hurt what you cant hit!!

              Kessler couldn't even stop Anthony Mundine..his glass chin was shattered by none other than SVEN OTTKE.

              If you can't stop an Ottke victim YOU AIN'T A PUNCHER.

              Kessler couldn't even stop the shot and bloated LIGHTWEIGHT Dingaan Thobela.

              Please stop overrating that tattoed p*ssy.

                Would RJJ be the hardest hitter he faced??
                I remember how he punked out on Echols.

                Joe was supposed to fight the WINNER of Brewer/Echols..but the ***** chose the LOSER.

                How that f*g has fans is beyond me.
