Obscure guys who could really punch

Anton Raadik would fill this bill. Ko'd Georgie Abrams, Tommy Bell, and Anton Christoforidis. Had Marcel Cerdan down three times in the 10th round of their fight. Had he finished Cerdan, I think he would get the credit he deserves as a big puncher.

 

Al Gainer

Dal Hawkins

Jeff Sims

Oscar Rankins (when Billy Conn told Joe Louis that he was signed to fight Rankins Joe responded "Your manager doesn't like you very much does he?")

 

Nice to learn about some of these guys. Gonna check-out more about 'em.

 

Tracy Spahn, Prudencio Cardona, Cyclone Hart,

 

I love your avatar...though he is mainly known as Chango Cassanova in Mexico

 

The Heat made his big debut in a showdown with fellow unbeaten Robert Mullins for the vacant USBA super featherweight title. First, he ruined Mullins during the prefight staredown using the biggest and most vacuous gray eyes and slack jawed gape. This weirdest of stares sent the message, "Who are you, and what are we doing here?" To look into those eyes was to see chaos, and glimpse the mind of a crazy person. When the bell rang, Mullins tore after him in a panicked attack, leaving himself wide open for a counter right which put poor Mullins to sleep in 28 seconds. Johnny would enter the ring dancing to the AC/DC he had playing for announcing his arrival on the public address system. Early in his career, he owned and operated an arcade which he ditched as his career picked up momentum and recognition.

He never lost his USBA SFW belt. Nicky Perez, Louis "The Syrian" Hubela, Julio Valdez and Enrique Solis make for some fine scalps on that record, and recovering from the beating Boza Edwards leveled on him, he did well to recover within a year to retire O'Grady in four. Bubblegum Sean started out superbly, with sharp and slashing combinations. John just tank rolled through and under Sean's attack, then it became apparent who had the superior strength, chin and firepower. O'Grady was finished when it became apparent that he couldn't go toe to toe with his smaller and older attacker.rrr

Johnny could punch, but full body speed was his greatest attribute at his best.

 

Caveman Lee
Rudy Nix
Freddie Delgado
RIckey Parkey
Mike DIxon
Everado Armenta

All these guys could punch but limited(except Parkey who was aCruiser Champ) Caveman Lee was pretty good just didnt have much of a chin.

Others

Victor Cordoba ( SM champ thought he was robbed against Nunn the first time)
Victor Ramirez (hardhitting Ligtweight Journeyman)
Hector Quiroz ( welter and Jw of the 90s early 00s could really bang)
James Pipps (hard hitting bantam)
Clint Jackson ( hard hittin 76 olympian never won a title)
Mardo Roybal ( hard hitting JM and MW fringe contender from the 80s)
Booker Ward (exciting hard punching fire plug only 5-7 at aLH)
Randall Yonker (limited fighter big punch)
Gary Guiden ( jm contender could bang but got whupped by Davey Moore)

 

i have heard things about ezzra sellers, this guy could punch too.

 

Frankie DePaula..

 

Good call ...

 

Let's not forget Andy Gannigan .... not exactly obscure but mostly forgotten today ... man could he hit ...

If we throw in alphabet champs don't forget Rolondo Navarette ... man did he crush Boza Edwards with a huge power display ...

Hagler victim Tony Sibson was a brute ... anyone remember the crushing KO he pulled off v.s. John Collins on national TV ?

Another Hagler victim, Juan Roldan was another crusher ... remember the beating he put on Animal Fletcher ?

 

Does Andy "Hawaiian Punch" Ganigan qualify? I mean he did fight a few well known men and put "El Flaco Explosivo" on his rear for a little (still lost though).

Maybe when The Ring ranked him as a dangerous puncher, he was relevant then but now I think he's been forgotten.

Also, in the case of Andy Ganigan; he was attacked on April 2010 (around the 10-11th) and the attack left his motor skills in poor condition.

I was the most obscure of all punchers...My name was Unknown Winston and I kod
31 out of 45 heavyweights...

 

Any idea, B, if there was any bitterness in Hawaii when Brian Viloria was tabbed "Hawaiian Punch"?

 

Anyone mentioned Ezra Sellers yet?

26 KOs in 29 wins, including a 4-KD 4th round KO of Carl 'The Cat' Thompson.
