A great finisher to me is someone who gets very excited and goes bloodlust when they see their opponent hurt. That is Pac, he is so quick to react to seeing his opponent hurt. A good example is Pac-JMM rnd 3, he KD's JMM and he just rains punches on him and almost KD's him again before end of round. JMM was very lucky there was only 10 seconds to go when he got the 1st KD.

The fact that Pac has failed to finish JMM on both occasions is just a testament to JMM's survival skills. IMO, Pac could have done nothing wrong in trying to finish off his opponent...on the 1st round the 2 following KD's were a product of Pac's finishing style. He can only knock his opponent down and hope he doesnt get up, JMM did. Another very good example of Pac going bloodlust is his fight against hector, look at how many power punches Pac was throwing soon as he saw Hector hurt.

24 of the last opponents he beat, 22 he beat by KO.

There's other guys who have high KO % but IMO not as good finishers. Wlad has great KO %, but how many times do you see his opponent hurt and just shout at the screen asking Wlad to finish him but Wlad is so reluctant? You shouldnt have to experience that feeling with a great finisher, because they can see what you see and has the same urge you have to finish off the opponent soon as they can.

There's also grinders like Vitali. great KO % but all that have been through accumulation. IMO simmilar to when Pac KO'd Diaz, it wasnt really great finishing, it was just nonstop punishment until the opponent broke down.

I disagree on Vitali being an accumulation puncher. When you knock everyone out that you beat, yeah, some guys that never get knocked out are going to take awhile to finish. But Johnson, Hide and others were dispatched early and with disruptive power.
