give me a moment my friend......I need to mull this over

[Mantequilla]

Pac and Ebihara for the combo of speed and power.

Galaxy for Sheer power, though his brother was better rounded with it.

marvin Johnson

Of the light-punchers, Whitaker and Kalule for sheer accuracy and as a pointscorer.Winky Wright very accurate as well and Herol Graham had a great sneak straight-left.

Hagler, Watanabe, Gushiken.

Saldivar had brutal thudding power with his and threw it perfectly, almost unavoidable at times.

Saldivar???

Hmmmm....maybe the Pacman? Sure I'll get slated but Khaosai Galaxy had a fantastic straight left!

Not contradicting mcvey, but I'm surprised that Andy Ganigan wasn't immediately mentioned. When he stopped O'Grady, the final knockdown was produced with a straight left to the body, and he repeatedly stated in the post fight interview that his entire strategy was to deliver the straight left. It was certainly the most consistently devastating straight left I saw during the time I closely followed the sport.

You can differ from me D,my opinion is just that ,my opinion ,I think Driscoll should be mentioned, but so should many others.
