I believe the January 10th 2010 Haiti earthquake was the 18th largest in the records.
It was magnitude of 7.0 on the Richter scale. It had the energy of a 32 million tons of TNT.
To put that into perspective. It was 500 times less than the mag 8.8 earthquake to hit Chile on Feb, 27 2010 (15.8 billion tons of TNT) and 2,000 times less than the mag 9.1 Indian ocean earthquake of December 26, 2004 (90.7 billion tons of TNT).
One aftershock of the February 27th 2010 Chile earthquake at 08:01 GMT was almost as big as Haiti at mag 6.9.
The largest earthquake on record was also just off the coast of Chile about 100 miles south of the 2010 one on May 22nd 1960. It was mag 9.5 earthquake and was 5,500 times bigger at 178 billion tons of TNT.
