    Attrition puncher Rocky Marciano stopped All Time Great puncher Archie Moore with repeated rabbit punches.

    Some of the guys being mentioned aren't "light punchers", they just don't punch as hard as the bomber.

    Original question:
    Sven Ottke vs. Anthony Mundine

    His stoppage victories over Shavers and Cooney certainly qualify, Shay

    I think you’ll find a lot of the guys being called “light” hitters can hit as hard as most of their peers. Benitez was to Cus something along the lines of an “uncommitted” puncher which Cus said was a mistake, if I’m remembering right. He and many others just didn’t want to set themselves enough to punch hard, Emile Griffith is a guy I reckon is in a similar vein as Wilfred, in just that aspect.​

    May not sound nice or loyal, but there was a lot of early morning rejoicing in Aussie pubs when that KO went down.

    Just a sideline comment re that fight, Moore gave Marciano all he wanted in that fight. Great fight imo. I really think old Arch took Rocky very close to the absolute limits of his durability. Rocky had to fight for all he was worth to ultimately prevail. Very wise of Rocky to retire after that fight. I think Arch took a good chunk of him away.
