Trinidad is the hardest puncher, undisputed!

[Hurlex]

dlh was out classing him though for pretty much most of that fight

R.Marquez.oh ****..true i forgot about him...KT and r.marquez are above tito in m eye's p4p best hitter

[mic573]

I can agree Delahoya won the majority of the rounds but I disagree with Marquez hitting harder than Tito p4p.

[loangunZ]

I think tito has the hardest left hook in any division

[Hurlex]

oh hell yeah...that i agree with..the left hook of tito..damn i mean he's right handed right lol..dude has a amazing left hook

[Tha Greatest]

ya

if DLH fights tito at 147 or 154 which prolly wont happen

dlh would do waht he did b4 but finish him this time

remember joppy said "Tito cheated when he beat him by puttin on his handwraps so it hurts u more" was that true or ne1 have more info on that

[mic573]

Joppy is just a sore loser.

Last night's fight between Taylor and Joppy answered a few questions. Is Taylor legit? Yes. Is Joppy shot? Probably, at least it's clear that he will never have a belt again. But I think you all have to agree that Trinidad is the most devastating puncher in the division, hands down. I'll tell you why. Well, let the facts tell you and you decide.

May 2001, Trinidad-Joppy
Joppy was known to have a very good chin and was actually undefeated( if you forget about the questionable loss he had against JC Green). Trinidad dropped him 3 times including one in the first round. Trinidad wins by TKO in 5 rounds.

November 2001, Joppy-Eastman
Eastman is able to drop Joppy only once in the last round. Joppy wins on points.

December 2003, Hopkins-Joppy
Hopkins faces a Joppy who is clearly not the same he was when he faced Trinidad. Yet, Joppy goes the distance and was never dropped.

November 2004, Taylor-Joppy
This is a Joppy who had not fought in almost a year. Taylor, a talented prospect, is getting Joppy three and a half years after Trinidad destroyed him. Yet, he only dropped him once and Joppy made the distance although he won only one round, in my opinion.

Result: Only Trinidad can brag because he is the only one to stop William Joppy in a career that includes almost 40 fights and covers more than 10 years.

if ur goin by that then ike has more power than tito cuz ike atleast dropped dlh and tito didnt even hurt dlh

trinidad might be the hardest puncher at middleweight.

He is the hardest puncher at middleweight bar none! One thing everyone ask about, is when a fighter moves up in weight, can that they still maintain their power (if they are a power puncher)? With Tito, it seems like he has gotten more powerful as he's moved up in weight!

[paulmmv]

well trindad is very powerful but hes no hopkins

When Tito really starts getting his legs into his punches, he is one of the best. What sets him apart from KT and Marquez is that he boxes well and has good movement / jabbing before the power shots.

KT and Marquez are a little more in love with their power.

However, the game plan against either of them is the same. Jab / move laterally / jab. If you start to exchange, their defense is good enough so that you will not hit them as much as you are hit and you will not hit them as hard as you are hit.

On the tier below that, you have guys like Corrales, Cintron, Lacy, Vitaly Klit.

It would be interesting to see each of them hit a computer that registers their force (lbs / square inch) and then divide it by their weight in lbs, to get some sort of inverse area measurement.

My guess is that the hardest Pund 4 pound punchers are the littlest guys, just like the best pound for pound wieghlifters are 4'6 90lbs and can clean 250.
