Underrated Punchers that pounded out a victory

[SlimTrae]

Seemed like Paulie Malinaggi may have juiced up when he took on Cotto's brother, really landed some shots that he didn't land before not after.

And Bojado last fight, Stevie Forbes really sat down on his shots, I think it was a career best performance. What a shame Francesco lost to him, but it wasn't a sloppy or bad showing.
Forbes absorbed every shot and fired hard counters. Seemed like a power puncher that night.

Winky Wright known as a jabber, but he and Jermaine Taylor traded some hard shots. IMO, he could've won, but he let that 12th round slip away.
His guard got compromised, but he retaliated well. Not like his win over Tito with a superb jab....in this one, a nice fight broke out and yet another average puncher that even swelled up Bad Intentions

Sweat Pea knocked down, behind on points had to take out undefeated Cuban Diosbelys Hurtado.

First fight that popped in my mind was the first fight between Eric Harding and Antonio Tarver. We all know what Tarver’s punch can do, and Harding glued himself to his chest and overwhelmed him with volume. If I remember correctly, Harding broke Antonio’s ribs in that fight, mainly through sheer volume and accumulation.

Forgot about that, what about Glenn Johnson v Tarver the first time?

I thought it was the jaw as well, but whatever it was He broke something, who would've guessed he could do it?

Malignaggi also stopped Senchenko to win the welterweight title in the champions backyard.

Great topic. I'm still trying to figure out how Virgil Hill turned brutal starter and annihilated Tiozzo in first round of their rematch. Maybe only his 3rd ko in about 8 years . Ivan Robinson wasn't a major hitter but went to war with Gatti in a true classic but that was probably his inner Philly coming out . I remember the relatively green pro Sergio Reyes bringing his 3 kos in with a near prime Orlando Canizales and more than holding his own (had him winning) over 12 up close buzz saw rounds.

Rockin Rodney Moore was a light puncher then he went on a mad KO run as a contender.

Was going through some old score sheets and reminded of Paul Vaden turning it on late and koing Vincent Pettway. Pettway before and after was always thought to be almost to nice and 'clean' for the sport and a very capable boxer off the jab. He pretty much came from obscurity to grab Pettways title and proved brutal throwing combinations in the championship rounds. Pettway came in that night fresh off one of the more devastating KO's you'll ever see when he left Simon Brown flat on his back still throwing punches in the air . Vaden went back into conservative safety boxer mode losing his next fight out v Terry Norris but became very successful post boxing always wearing a big smile.
