Extremely Obscure Power Punchers

darryl pickney comes to mind. a featherweight journeyman who was durable and could crack.

beat two future champs in junior jones and guty espadas by ko.

 

Ryan Rhodes.

 

Alex Ramos - unrealised potential and no super stories, but at one time coming up it was aid he hit the hardest in the division with either hand.

Tony Baltazar - HUGE left hooking lightweight from the 80's. Massive power. absolutely massive.

Jaime Garza - Known to plenty in here but still far from all. Going into his Juan Meza defence he was about 40-0 with 38 ko's with only two going more than 5 rounds :yikes A bigger single hitter than even Wilfredo Gomez and truth be known would sit comfortably in the top 50 p4p punchers ever IMO. Excepting sheer quality of opponent ko'ed would sit well alongside Julian Jackson.

 

lightheavyweight Crawford Ashley.

 

Baltazar dropped Howard Davis (fastest boxer in the world at the time) twice with his textbook hook. From memory he also dropped a prime Buddy McGirt, a great feat. His war with Rockin' Robin Blake is one of the fights of the 80's.

Garaz's first loss and the start of the spiral was in this title defence. Unfortunately his chin paled in comparison to his power. Nice one round slugfest tho!!

Bobby Joe Young at 147 was a huge hitter but like Ramos never really showed it to full extent.

 

andy ganningan- hawaiian southpaw that could punch somewhere around par with arguello.

 

Yes, HUGE single hitter who actually dropped Alexis. Very close to mentioning Ganigan myself. Great shout.

 

Louis Monaco.... Knocking out Buster Douglas after the bell. He was a sucky boxer but he could hit like a muleKICK

 

courage tshabalala could hit.

 

Ricardo "Pajarito" Moreno.
