Vicious Puncher's

[Master]

Never considered Shane Mosley as a vicious puncher but yes he did rip those punches into the body and head with bad intentions.

If anyone doubts that they can ask Margarito.

True that was a beating that Margarito took but Slim suggests at lightweight he stopped everyone when he defended the title and carried serious venom.

I think your question is kind of an error, as guys wont punch “viciously” if they dont have some power, as that doesnt give them the best chance to win. How about Erik morales though? Obviously hit hard enough, but most of the damage done was in combination and as a result of technique.

Maybe it could be better re-phrased but I was not talking about power. For instance Julio Ceaser Chavez was not a hard concussive puncher but he punched with venom and hurt his opponents in a vicious and barbaric way until they dropped. Whereas Pernell Whitaker was a master boxer and technician who preferred to outbox his opponent be content to win the rounds and win by decision if required.

If that does not make sense please ignore the thread and move on with your life.

Tito had a pretty vicious left hook.

JCC seems like the stereotypical vicious puncher. Not necessarily heavy hands but heavy enough and vicious enough to stop his opponents. SRL is another one who had vicious combinations.

Michael Moorer at 175. Vicious mean menacing punches with a sneer. Early but Teofimo Lopez reminds of a vicious puncher.

Very interesting question. I can’t think of a vicious puncher I stayed a fan of throughout their career except Benn. Lots of big punchers, hard punchers etcetera but not what I would call vicious. On the other hand many I started out a fan but bailed when it became clear they were monsters(like Valero) or fake(like GGG). Spence would be the only current fighter I would call vicious I really like.

@TitoFan made it clear. Been so long since he was a LW, we just remember him going the distance with DLH, Wright, Forrest & co.
Before his 1st loss he was 37-0 with about 33/34 kos. Eve looking at his last 10 fights 4-5-1...he still retired with a 67% KO ratio. He was nasty at LW, but he chased the Golden Egg pass LW aka DLH, then found himself fighting guys way beyond his best weight.

The beating he put on Margarito IMO was proof that had he been able to maintain 140? he would've KO'd most with what he dished out to Rito. But then again Rito stood up to Pac rearranging his bone structure free of plaster!

Well in truth Mosley had a pretty enviable knockout record at lightweight. Yet by the time he had moved up in weight he was known much more for being a very quick and very good boxer rather than a venomous puncher.

That all changed in Jan 2009, when he had something special for Margarito. To this day one of my favorite all time fights.
