    No way. His punches seemed to have little to no effect on Bramble. Mancini was a dedicated fighter, but quite overrated.

    He seemed to hit decently for a lightweight.

    Aggressive fighter but not a heavy hitter really.

    I think you got the perfect wording there. Aggressive is what made him look stronger.

    Boom Boom was a volume puncher who swarmed his opponents in a aggressive manner.
    A very hard puncher is Edwin Rosario or Alexis Arguello counter punchers. RM punched
    hard like Ruslan Provodnikov who in 25 wins 18 ko compared to RM in 29 wins 23 ko.

    Ray was very quick handed and aggressive with it, but not so much a hard punching guy. But still a enjoyable fighter to watch.

    Mancini was a volume puncher not a viscous puncher, he was relentless and tough as hell. But nothing was special about him other than his work rate.

    Think volume puncher...aggressive volume puncher when you think Mancini...think power when it comes to Rosario.

    He hit Livingstone Bramble something like 1,000 times (or more) in their two fights, yet
    never knocked him down. Bramble was KO'd less than a year later by Edwin Rosario.
    Lots of punches, not lots of power.

    He was heavy handed, his left hook specifically had good pop. But GOD NO he's nowhere near the most powerful lightweights of all time. Not even close!
