How would you rank the following ten fighters on overall punching ability? Marco Huck Arthur De Kuh Walter Cobb Bill Hartwell Primo Carnera George Godfrey Ralph Smith Max Baer Isidoro Gastanaga Ike Ibeabuchi
As a side note my Dad watched Isidoro Gastanaga train many times back in the 30's. His comment to me as to what he remembered was that Isidoro would bring right uppercuts literally from the ring canvas to his sparring partners chin and knock them out/down. Although otherwise not greatly skilled he possessed good right hand power.
Baer Godfrey Ibeabuchi Gastanaga I don't consider any of the others punchers but I'm not really familiar with most of them.The old guys have the "usual suspects" on their records the," career canvas boys ",which can flatter and fatten anyone's ko record. Never seen Huck.
Here's a HL vid of Huck. I'd recommend muting the sound unless you want to hear a growly metal head sing about his erect phallus. This content is protected
Is there a connection between these fighters or just some randomly pick of a mixture of some well known names and some obscure ones?
This ranking is to help put Huck in perspective compared to punchers like Max Baer. Some people think that Huck punched as hard or harder than Baer (lol). So I am listing both of them next to lesser known punchers from the day who fought at Hucks level. To help provide context to the topic.
I posted his because I wanted to hear what other people think. But I can do a breakdown in a bit. What do you think? Does the bruising Marco Huck punch harder than Godfrey, Gastanaga, or Hartwell?
Huck fought at the same level, relatively speaking, as Baer. He also held the title and was top rated for a number of years. Can the same be said for those other names you've listed?
That song is by Powerwolf. They have plenty of more suitable material for a boxing clip The creator should have used something like the Tiger of Sabrod. Anyway, Huck hits pretty hard but Baer is obviously the bigger puncher. Huck, however, is more skilled and works harder.
