Featherfisted fighters - past and present

You're obviously forgetting his one round decimation of Nicky Cook and buzzing the Worlds best 130lber Martinez :hey

 

And his vicious beatdown of teak tough African Jason Laryea (from Ghana, the same country as Azumah Nelson you know), forcing the teak tough warrior to quit on his stool and handing him only the second stoppage loss of his impressive career.

 

Ishida

Bernard Hopkins

Eddie Chambers

 

Jack Britton?

Miguel Canto didn't stop a single fighter in his 14(I think) fight reign as champion, he could feasibly be included I suppose. Though it's probably more due to the fact he was a strictly defensive-minded fighter.

 

Britton was a rough customer, he also faced a lot of tough men. He was no puncher though, I agree.

Canto was featherfisted at World level for sure.

 

Yes, the decent Azumah Nelson was from the same place as 'Legendary' Joseph Laryea Labia Leija.

 

I would say Ayub Kalule, but his devastating one punch K.O of Ho Joo is making me think otherwise.

 

how many punches did Calzaghe land on Lacy in succession? Was the fight stopped? why wasn't Calzaghe able to knock Lacy out despite landing a large volume of punches?

 

Lacy was tough though if nothing else.

Taylor hit him with plenty too and couldn't get rid of him.

 

Look at the state of Lacy.

I don't rate Joes power at all, but not 'feather fisted' IMO, didn't take him too many shots to have Mitchell and Veit all over the place as well, and they were at least decent contenders.

 

Wayne McCullough.

His chin was probably stronger than his fists.

 

Manfredo was on the ropes and the punches were at once.

If you aren't trying to throw or even move, your putting it in the hands of the ref. That's just the way it is.
