    Default Most surprising KO/TKO artists?

    By this I mean fighters that started their careers looking feather fisted, then out of no where started KO/TKOing people.

    Lee Selby - Currently active - Started his career with 1 stoppage in his first 10 fights and looked very weak, but has 6 stoppages in his last 9 fights since, and all in pretty good fashion.


    Who else can you name that was like this?
    You say tomato,
    ‘n I say …… it correctly.

    Eubank Jr was getting unwarranted shit.

    I said at the time though its just a matter of him being too tense and as he progresses he will loosen up.

    Rockin Rodney Moore , he started as a light puncher then fought Victorio Belcher and went on a really good ko streak at contender level, knocking out good fighters like Sammy Fuentes and Louie Lomeli.

    The ultimate one may of been Tommy Hearns.

    Evander Holyfield really surprised me with his power. From being not a true power puncher even at cruiserweight to knocking down Riddick Bowe and knocking out Mike Tyson...those were shocking to me.

    Juan Manuel Marquez, Marco Antonio Barrera, Erik Morales...guys who were just good solid technical fighters had some pretty nice KO's.

    Hector Camacho Sr. I just never knew when he was going to step on the gas and stop someone.... just never knew!!

    When Camacho was in a fight, much like Gatti but for different reasons, you had to watch because you never knew when hew was going to turn it up a notch.
