1. Aurellio Herrera ,1905 about ,reputed to be hardest one punch ko artist 2.Ruby Goldstein,1920s, dropped everyone he ever faced,including,the Nebraska Wildcat, Ace Hudkins... 3'Lew Jenkins,IF in shape... 4.Al Bummy Davis who I saw ko Bob Montgomery in one round MSG.Best left hook I ever saw...
there's many choice's 2 choose from, I could'nt really be bothered in making my number 1pick at the moment, but one name that immediately comes mind is , Ike Williams
I'd say it's between Jenkins and Williams but I could see the argument for Rosario, Arguello, or Davis. Herrera and Goldstein I just don't know enough about to rate them. Mosley and DLH looked magnificen at lw but I think they lack the signature win to compete with the guys above.
Mosley is like the Rodney Dangerfield of Boxing. He's dismissed because he lost badly to Wright and Forrest but they were bad matchups for him. He's a natural Lightweight.
He was coming in as a light middleweight to his lightweight fights. Far from a "natural" lightweight.
Nice coices guys...Should have included Charley White Of Chicago also...Ike Williams who I saw Ko Beau Jack,in Phillyin 1948 ,was the best combination hitting lightweight I ever saw, right next to the bigger welterweight Ray Robinson...Vicious belter was Ike...
I know that no one has actually seen him fight at lightweight, but I dont see how any lightweight has demonstrated one punch ko power anywhere near the same level as Bob Fitzsimmons has. All his known lightweight fights ended in KOS within 4 rounds! He was probably inexperienced at lightweight, but while he was there, he must have been one hell of a big hitter.
