    Abraham put away any fighter who he had hurt, so he´s up there. Wlad has also to be mentioned. But I think Pac edges it.

    Pavlik (what a finish in the first Taylor fight and in the Miranda fight), Abraham (when he hurts you, you should immidiately load your gif making program), Margarito (great finisher). PacMan is not really a great one. He couldn't finish JMM off twice or even Barrera when he knocked him down early in their first fight and stunned in the second. JMM interestingly is a good finisher, he knocked Jaca and Casamayor out when he had them. But Rafael Marquez was a beast at 118 as well, great finisher. Oscar De La Hoya was a great finisher in his prime, he showed something of the old stuff in the Mayorga fight.

    Other good finishers today: Lucian Bute, Edison Miranda, Juan Manuel Lopez, Vic Darchinyan.

    Pavlik IMO, hes very violent when he fights (specialy against black fighters:bart), hes only guy in boxing against who you dont want to get hurt or he will try to take that head off your shoulders. Abraham and Margo is close second.

    Oh you underestimate MAB and JMM... these two have pretty good beards.
    not really about Pac's weaknesses, but about MAB and JMM's strength.

    palvik. he just goes at it.

    pac on the other hand seems to be trigger shy as of late. he gets the guy cornered and dosent come around to finishng it or following it up. most of his knock outs seem unintentional, accidents like. oops i knocked you down

    Maybe or maybe not, he is already a unified cruiser champ but 21 wins 20 ko's makes him one of the top finishers in boxing a bad miss off this poll.

    Pavlik easily.

    His finishing is so good that most fans overlook his skills and put his knockouts down to power instead
