FIghters who turned into a knockout artist later in their carreers

Sorry, it was late when I was posting it. No insult intended to Hozumi or his fans.

 

Yup. Hozumi.

 

we need to compile a list

 

hahaha

 

His first 17 fights were KOs.

 

yes, steward talked about how he worked on his power before turning pro, because he wasnt a puncher as an amateur, then set he up with a few cupcakes in the beginning to build his confidence in his power. tommy took to power punching like a fish to water.

 

He was a foot taller than everyone he faced. Of course, he was a knockout artist. So was Saddler and Arguello.

...Koki Kameda.

Best I can do on short notice.

 

Good ma... hey! I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE! Now a 100 times!

 

JMM comes to my mind.
Amazing how he suddenly hit a second puberty at his age.
This guy really ate his vitamins, said his prayers and worshipped hulksters python

 

he always had the power, he was just not delivering it properly for a guy with his gifts. steward taught him leverage, timing and distance, which made him a fearsome puncher vs anyone.

 

Josh Warrington is fighting with a lot more spite now.

 

Povetkin became much more heavy handed later in his career. I recall he decisioned Firtha, whom Fury later stopped, and at the time that Fury did that, it wasn't thought especially strange. Then after Sasha's Wlad loss, he started getting spectacular ko's, and really developed a hard hitting persona he hadn't had before. Of course, the drug stuff might help explain why, and his power has seemingly dried up since the fallout from all that.

 

Wasn't Steward teaching him since he was 11? Why'd he wait until Hearns was 19 and National Golden Gloves champion to teach him to hit properly? It seems far fetched that Hearns would be 155-8 with only 12 KOs and then go on to be one of the hardest punchers ever. I'd get it if he sucked at first but then got better, but how'd he wrack up that record and become a Golden Gloves champ before he learned to punch? Why'd Steward wait 8 years to teach him power and let him slap before then? It sounds like bull****, like one of those stories fabricated to build a fighter's legend.
