Duran vs Whitaker, prime vs prime at LW

Hank wasn't a big puncher either, he was a "wear you down" guy, and he wouldn't land that consistently on JMM without taking some big bombs in return.

Lol pardon me

Hank scored 27 straight ko's from 1937 to 1938 getting the featherweight title in the process. Not only is that fight total in one year almost a ten year career today but they were all knockouts. Prior to loosing his lightweight title in a rematch with Ambers he was on a winning streak of 46 and 0 with 39 knockouts.

NOTE to @Jimanuel Boogustus. After Hanks death it was found that he had an abnormally sized heart. By some reports almost twice the size of what was considered normal and not caused by disease. Scientists have concluded that suck a ticker was responsible for the horrendous pace he set in his fights.
Sure Manny was relentless but he's not even on the same page.

Yes Armstrong had a very slow heart beat which meant once he was warmed up he could fight forever.

So what? Doesn't mean he was a big puncher. He wore guys down with his insane pace. It was about pressure. Given enough time to exert pressure, water wears down rock. A great KO percentage doesn't necessarily = big puncher.

He was like an old time Aaron Pryor as far as I can see (another guy who wasn't a big one-punch guy but had a great KO%). Just wore dudes down.
