Tommy Hearns and Pipino Cuevas hit harder than Tito...But Trinidad was a an explosive, devastating puncher. his placement with the left hook was fantastic.
Hearns toasted guys with his power, guys that were almost impossible to KO. most notably Duran.
Cuevas, while not as well known as Hearns or Trinidad, had a long streak of bone crushing punches. I believe he broke Angel Espada's and Harold Weston's jaws in back to back fights. and Weston was someone who gave Benitez all he could handle. and thats not all...he would break ribs, orbital bones, slice up people's faces...I heard that he used to spar and hurt heavyweights. the guys power was no joke, even if he was lacking in skill.
