    Who are some fighters that always puts on a show but didn't have much punching power to go along with their entertaining style? Pretty much fighters that were generally exciting to watch but had low KO%.
    First guy to come to mind would be Johnny Tapia.

    Chris Byrd was exciting fighter when he wasn't facing defensive-mined opponent like Oquendo or Williamson. His fights against Golota, McCline, Tua, Holyfield, Jimmy Thunder all were good/very good fights.

    My favorite fighter Juan Diaz, sucra Ray oliviera, I was gonna say jirov but he proved me wrong in the Messi fight. Oscar larios, Pauli Malignaggi, Israel Vasquez in the larios fight. Dude that Johnny Tapia beat, Medina. Kassim ouma, Tua if he looked light punching in the Ike ibesbuchi fight. Some hw who weighs like 284, something Chauncey or Welliver or some sorts, he's a big boy, but not a killer at that weight.

    Juan Diaz. Not a soft puncher but didnt score many kos mostly corner stoppages when he did stop a guy

    He was in a lot of fun fights and was very aggressive
