How many are there out there really? This is kind of inspired by the Julian Jackson thread.
But, hell, a guy like Cotto is a strong puncher and a thudding puncher but is he really a one shot guy? I don't think so. You could probably say the same about Pavlik although he's probably more likely to end it with one punch than Cotto is although he usually does it after landing 6 or 7 rounds of right hands.
I think Wlad can be (I actually don't think Vitali is, he's a strong volume puncher IMO) but outside of heavies how many really explosive devastating punchers are there?
Old as hell Randall Bailey is one. Juan Manuel Lopez has shown some signs but some guys lately have been taking them, granted Penalosa and Mtagwa have hellacious chins. Valero. Rafa Marquez was a pretty damn good puncher at 118, just cause Vazquez can take your shots doesn't mean everybody else can. Arthur Abraham.
Edit-I just mean a guy that can end a fight early or at any time against at least reasonable opposition, not so much strong guys that break people down over the course of the fight.
