5 hardest punchers p4p who were southpaws

Tho he doesn't have the greatest resume a guy like Ganigan certainly had more power than the likes of Hagler and many others. Top 5 i'd say for sure, tho anything but a great fighter. Moorer in his time at 175 was frightening power wise.

 

I thought it was Ganigan that dropped Arguello, not Navarrete, could be wrong tho.

 

My goof JT. Alexis turned Navarrete into a bloody mess in five rounds. (Brain belch.)

Ganigan was responsible for Arguello's most exciting win. His "weird style" had Arguello so confused that Alex kept referring to Andy's bodyshot as a "left" hook. (That stringbean Arguello was tough as nails. Imagine what Ganigan/Mancini might have looked like!)

 

I saw this guy fight a shot LaMotta and he looked pretty featherfisted to me.

 

Totally forgot Chaney was a south paw ,very good call.

 

Jose Luis Ramirez could crack.

 

I thought of Jose as having a great chin more than a hard punch. I didn't follow his career that closely, but the single most impressive shot I saw him produce was the flash KD against Arguello. In the Rosario rematch, he buried Chapo in an avalanche of blows, moreso than powering him down. I don't necessarily disagree with you though. 82 knockouts says something about his power, but one stoppage loss in 111 fights (and that against Olivares) says more to me about his toughness. In any event, I think he belongs in the IBHOF, and probably should have been enshrined there for a while now. (Over a hundred wins with losses in the single digits should be like 300 pitching victories in Major League Baseball; a virtually automatic guarantor for induction.)

 

82 knockouts in 102 wins - around an 80% knockout ratio. Can't get much better than that over so many fights.

 

Murphy could hit a bit ,not dynamite quality but respectable,Joey Maxim Jabbed him to death.

 

Corrie Sanders, Nick Wells,Pacman

 

I thought Maxim bested Murphy in pretty much every category. Solid performance.

 

Years ago BI carried an article on their fight "Maxim and the Slugging Sailor"very good piece,Murphy ended up with an eye resembling Basilios against SRR.

 

Marvin Johnson (particularly with that uppercut).

 

Oh; Yoko Gushiken as well.

 

Tyson switched to southpaw sometimes does that count?
