    Holyfield up to 210lbs. McGuigan. Benn at 160. Honeyghan ca 86, 87. Kronk fighters like Tommy, McClellan, Moorer were always pushing the action, trying to make things happen.

    Given his heft, Bowe fought like you'd just slapped his mother.

    When Joe Frazier was at his "Smokin" best--few fighters could match his relentless aggression!

    Most of the usual suspects have been mentioned, and rightfully so.
    Aaron Pryor
    Joe Frazier
    Hank Armstrong
    Mancini
    Fenech
    All fought like they were fighting only three rd amateur bouts, and the irony is they didn't seem to lose any energy from the 1st rd to the 15rds.
    Ill add the late great Esubio Pedroza.
    That man never seemed to tire.....

    At least when they fought one another, there was absolutely no let up seen from either Tua or Ibeabuchi. They performed like Rock’em Sock’em Robots from go to whoa.

    Armstrong
    Marciano
    Frazier
    I’ll throw in an odd one but Liston. He threw an insane amount of punches a round

    I do not know if this is true.
    Maybe a relatively vs. Williams, but that was an extremely short fight.
    He is overwhelmingly described as a methodical Heavy Hitter, more like the opposite of a frantic pace.

    You may like the video on his power after you see what A.I says...

    Many of Listons fights ended early but even in his longer ones he was throwing a lot. Had a good tank. Compubox did a number of Liston fights and had him amongst the highest volume punchers for a heavy weight. AI doesn’t know **** about boxing

    2 of South Korea's best Jung Koo Chang and Myung Woo Yuh deserve a mention. Always a fast high energy paced with those two.

    Good example, right out of the gate. And once he got a hold of that little black bottle.. look out below!

    Totally disagree on Briscoe. His biggest drawback was that he didnt have a second gear. He just plodded along. Its why he lost so many fights.
