Who was the hardest puncher in each weight class?

Just trying to start a bit of a conversation about the hardest hitters in each weight class, here is my list:



Heavyweight-Vitali Klitschko (controversial, i know, but i guess the guy running heavyweightblog swayed me)

Cruiserweight-Rocky Marciano (average weight 188lbs)

Light Heavyweight-Michael Moorer (every fight he had at lt hvy was a ko victory)

Super Middleweight-John Mugabi (this is quite a difficult division to pick though)

Middleweight-Gerald Mcclellan (though some days i might say Nigel Benn)

Junior Middleweight-Julian Jackson (although i could easily say John Mugabi again)

Welterweight-Tommy Hearns (gotta have love for the hitman)

Junior Welterweight-Aaron Pryor (hawktime!)

Lightweight- Roberto Duran (manos de piedra was surprisingly literal at lightweight)

Junior Lightweight- Alexis Arguello (much like hearns, his power made little sense structurally, but it was undeniable)

Featherweight- Danny Lopez (i damn near broke my brain on this one, but if he isn't the best, he's definitely top three)

Junior Featherweight- Wilfredo Gomez (his nickname was bazooka, that pretty much covers it)

Bantamweight- Carlos Zarate (I'm pretty sure he still has the highest ko% of all time)

Junior Bantamweight- Khaosai Galaxy (probably the most murderous body puncher of all time)

Flyweight- Pichit Sitbangprachan (he wasn't around long, but he gets my nod in another difficult division)

Junior Flyweight- Saman Sorjaturong (my pick from a four way split between Carbajal, Gonzales and Gushiken)

Strawweight- Ricardo Lopez (he was damned near perfect at everything though)



What do you guys think?
