Media Hardest hitting LW ever?

[Goosemen]

I'm going with the highlight, Justin "TNT" Gaethje.

Hardest kicker and puncher at LW ever. One punch KO power, and crippling kicks.

Khabib has fought and taken shots from Dustin, Gaethje, Conor, Barboza, RDA and he said Justin hits the hardest by far and also said Conor punches were slow and weak.

Speaking on Mike Tyson’s podcast, Nurmagomedov said: “This guy [Justin Gaethje] hit like a truck, you know. Nobody hit me harder than Justin Gaethje. His kick, his punch, his left hook, right hook, right uppercut.

Taisumov

 

[JonJonesNeedle]

I can see Justin being the hardest hitting, although Chandler is another pick.

Conor is the most precise

MJ probably has the fastest hands.

 

[mudrubble]

I never even fought at lightweight so kind of impossible to say, right?

For what's out there you make a plausible case but the whole story will never be known, sadly.

Also sadly, I eat lightweights for lunch and dinner and pick my teeth with bantamweights. Uh-oh I gotta go.... my bicep is gonna smash on my computer soon.....

Recently rewatched that fight.

While Justin looked completely lost against Khabin on the ground ...

... however while Justin kept it standing ... Khabib was getting tagged ... a lot.

He actually did amazing. Not sure how much more Khabib could have taken.

Justin landed some bombs.

Conor's punches slow and weak according to Khabib

Dude some of those punches tony took were huge.

Khabibs chin is insane

 

[AdamWarlock]

khabib said gaethje hits the hardest
dustin said conor hits harder than gaethje

so either gaethje or conor i guess

 

[Eredin]

Gaethje has slept like two people and one is in the hall of fame of glass chins in James Vick.

Gaethje obviously still hits very hard so I heard it bowlth ways but he mostly gets stoppages through a battle of nutrition b.


Gomi, Connor, Crazy Horse, Melvin Guillard etc are probably more pure, straight up power punchers than Gaethje.

 

[HeDidn'tWantTheFight]

I actually think Justin's one punch power is a bit overrated. Sure, he caught Barboza perfectly on the chin, and Vick would get knocked out if you sneezed in his direction, but otherwise, the damage he has inflicted has been more of a volume deal over the course of fights.

Crazy horse, good call. Give the man his due.

 

[Exarch01]

Some say he's still rocked to this day.

 

[cheesus]

Melvin Guillard had some terrifying power back in the day, at the time raw one punch ko power from a lightweight was a rare sight.

 

[Dr. Rose]

Khabibs chin is insane

the beard works like a shock absorber

 

[r-harper-1]

Crazyhorse Bennett, Guillard and Gomi hit harder imo

 

[Dr. Rose]

People also sleep on BJ

But he could more speed and timing, like Conor

 

[smiles mma]

Crazyhorse Bennett, Guillard and Gomi hit harder imo

I'd put Stephens above gomi, I found his power over rated. He was just fearless and swung like crazy like Lenard Garcia.

 

[OmegaRugal]

Justin landed some bombs.

Khabibs chin was GOAT level as well it seems.
What an amazing fall back option if needed.
