Fighters who were great punchers but not all very strong

Arguello

 

Joe Frazier.

 

Curry was the only man I've ever seen back Starling up, who was increibly strong.

 

Frazier was only ever pushed around by Foreman, he held his own in clinches with the very physically strong Ali, Chuvalo, and Bonevena.

 

Bob Foster

 

Randall Bailey.

 

Michael Spinks as a Lt. Hvy. might also fit in this category.Devastating puncher but past their prime fighters like Yaqui Lopez and Marvin Johnson were able to move him and muscle him around the ring until Spinks was able to catch them with his bombs.

 

I tend to think of guys like Morales. Mosley said Pac was like that - he didn't feel strong in clinches, not sure I can believe him. Hearns is probably a good shout ... but then again bean pole doesn't mean they aren't strong. How strong could Corey Sanders be? hmmmm.

 

Rafa Marquez?

 

DLH at 147 and 154 didn't strike me as particularly strong physically, even though he still hit like a truck. I think his lack of physical strength was disguised during his 130-140 run because he was a naturally bigger guy cutting down to fight naturally much smaller men, but once he moved up to 147 and 154 it seemed like he didn't try and impose himself much. The likes of Mosley, Vargas, even Whitaker in their fight didn't appear to have significant problems in muscling him around in clinches.

 

i agree with de la hoya...i thought of tito but then again he showed strength at times when hed push u off with his shoulder...i think hearns was strong up top but his legs were very weak. prince naz maybe wasnt physically strong.

 

I must say Hearns handled the rough and tough Andries pretty well...Well north of his best weight, lacking the mobility he once had..he had to stand his ground.

From memory pushed off Dennis a fair bit (even to the canvas a couple of times) and walked him back to the ropes on occasion.

I think he has proven himself in this area more so then say SRL...climbing to higher weights and actually going toe to toe with Hagler instead of fighting the tactical fight Leonard did.

 

I remember Naz body slamming Cesar Soto in their fight. He may have been a titch but he was strong imo.

 

hearns and arguello i agree with

ricardo lopez and perhaps wilfredo gomez
