    Best I ever saw were: John Mugabi, Tommy Hearns, in that order.

    Don't really think Kovalev is a great finisher. Finishing is an art form. Usually a great finishers has tremendous accuracy, timing, anticipation, inside game and power in both hands.

    The best finishers in recent times are Kelly Pavlik and GGG. Tito was also great, but not so sure how recent he is.

    those mexican fighters do have a high prey drive.

    check out some more predatory behaviour.

    I thought Ray Leonard was a better finisher than Hearns. Leonard had better inside game and cut off the ring beautifully. Once he had you stunned he was hard to escape.

    Sergio Martinez and Carl Froch, once you get hurt by them, there's no recovery. They will finish you, usually in that round.

    Kelly Pavlik for the brief period he had of not being drunk was no doubt the best finisher in boxing.

    I dont know him well enough

    All i remember is he was a tremendous boxer who i had p4p#1 at some point as he fought everyone, refused to drain or cherrypick, and was predictably ducked by Floyd. As far as a devastating finisher goes i cant remember

    I implore you to Educate Yourself on Sergio, I think you'll be a devote of his in no time. You won't regret it at all. He's right up your alley. He's an all action provocative counter puncher, almost like a more fluid version of your boy JMM with a hefty dose of RJJ added in for good measure.

    Good call on Inoue and Diaz. Really like both those guys from what I've seen of them. They're both little terrors.

    I loved Diaz's last fight. The judges cards, or at least 2 of them, were scandalous but it was a hell of a fight and Diaz answered a lot of questions that night. Marriaga's a good fighter and he pushed him hard all the way.

    The guy that did those HL videos (HaNZgod) is the same one who did the Benavidez one I posted. He deserves a medal for the amount of HL vids he's put together. He's done loads of them. From fighters from the 1920s, or even before, right up till fighters of today. I like picking ones at random to watch of fighters I haven't seen footage of in action before.

    Anthony Joshua is by far the best finisher in boxing, he leaves his opponents no room to recover. This is what makes him so dangerous, if he hurts his opponent, he will finish him and there is no way to avoid it, no matter what.

    Golovkin, Wilder and Haye also comes to my mind but neither of them is comparable to Anthony Joshua.

    Give me a breakdown of the JMM Diaz 1 fight last round if you can be bothered. I could do with a cheering up :/
