Best arm punchers?

As opposed to boxers who punch using their legs?

 

Ali comes to mind....

 

Bazooka Limon and Mustafa Hamsho were good arm punchers. Many would have you believe Foreman was an arm puncher if you want to go the power route.

 

George Foreman,he put guys down without getting his body behind punches on several occassions.

 

Hagler.

 

foreman

 

Marciano. Brutal to an opponents blood vessels. :good

 

Bazooka Limon was a great arm puncher. I remember seeing him against Rolando Navarette back in the 80's, and remember how he was getting his clock cleaned round after round, then in the 10th, I think, he just swarmed all over Navarette in a great come from behind effort and ko'd him. That's all he was basically, an arm puncer, but a great one.

 

Marciano was no arm puncher, he put his whole body behind his shots.

 

Foreman and Hagler were indeed described as "arm punchers" during their careers, as was Bazooka Limon. Another who I remember Gil Clancy descibing as an "arm puncher" was Matthew Saad Muhammad. Clancy also attached this designation to Euzebio Pedroza during his US television debut against Rocky Lockridge.

When Duran decisioned Minchillo, the color analyst speculated that the eventual difference in the contest might be the fact that while Duran used leverage behind his blows, Minchillo was an arm puncher. Nonetheless, Luigi went on to have a pretty fair career at the world class level.

 

Fair enough. I wasn't refering to his punching technique or the weight he put behind his shots, just that he hit opponents on their arms pretty frequently.

He employed this tastic to make opponents drop their guard, it worked very effectively. :hey

Miguel Cotto copied Marciano's trick when he made the Italian guy Branco(?) quit due to a severely battered arms.

 

Was Wayne McCullough an arm puncher?

I heard some commentators say Erik Morales more often was an arm puncher also.
