Best fighters (among belt holders) of the last 30 years w/ KO rate under 50%

:happy

Good man.


I feel like Calderón and Spinks may be a tad low relative to some others (both spent a reasonable amount of time on p4p lists, which you can't say for guys like Baldomir or, in all likelihood, Selby), and I personally might switch Ottke with Tapia (but am biased, with Mi Vida Loca being among my all-time faves)

Otherwise very well done.


Paulie & Díaz are definitely close. Shame they never had a rubber match to provide both a h2h and résumé-splitting tiebreaker.

 

Another guy, like his peer (but never rival in the ring, sadly :verysad) B-Hop with a nickname that evokes imagery of big knockouts incurred early in their careers - when, in retrospective, neither is really thought of that way. :yep

 

Héctor Camacho really was, though largely forgotten, a special talent.

I have even seen him occasionally rated above Félix Trinidad despite the beating he took from the much younger fresher man (Tito debuted a full decade after Macho) and despite the fans revering Trinidad a bit more since he was at, well, the opposite end of the spectrum from Camacho in terms of likelihood on any given night to produce a sensational KO.

I think you could say that Camacho is, with apologies to Miguel Cotto and Iron Boy, the greatest pure boxer from Puerto Rico of the last few decades. :think

edit: wow, actually, just realized Camacho falls even further outside the qualifying period than Whitaker!

 

So then, I guess CST your p4p #1 greatest off the revised list is actually Wink.

 

Were you a Maromero Páez Sr. fan as well then?
