    Michael Nunn- Sumbu Kalambay. Nunn wasn't an especially big puncher, but he took out a very skilled and durable fighter in Kalambay with a single shot.

    Mike Tyson-Michael Spinks

    Thomas Hearns-Roberto Duran or Pipino Cuevas

    Ike Williams was one of the first fighters that came to mind. Great balance, and very impressive technique.

    Manassa, can you recommend any other great william's fights aside from the 2 mentioned. Thanks.

    Barkley´s left hook that made Duran do a 360 degree turn.

    Oh, I guess McLarnin´s one round blow out of Young Corbett III ranks very hig too.

    I'd say the best one to see Williams' style in full the second Bolanos fight, where he wins on points. Good to see the jab, head movement and steady pressure against a slick mover.

    Claude Noel is Exhibit A for:

    1) Thou shalt not competeth with brand new boxing shoes not broken in

    2) Thou shalt not braceth to attempteth an uppercut from the outside

    Noel was a far more competent veteran than to lose the way he did. Art's short right was magnified to earthquake proportions by his opponent's assistance.

    Jose Napoles in the Ernie Lopez rematch with that one devastating right, and Carlos Monzon in the first Benvenuti bout..a perfect right handed execution.

    Foster was the first to stop Tiger..Emile Griffith in 1966 decked Tiger for the first time in the 9th round of their 15 round title bout.

    Griffith beat him to it when he lifted Tiger's MW Title in 1966, and incredibly, Joey Archer nearly beat Griff to it in 1964. (Edit: And RC beat me to it by two minutes.:bbb Christ, I'm getting slow!:!:)
