    Easily Top 10 fly's of all time. Ebihara's career is underrated, but obviously great if you look at context. He BEAT very fresh fighters very convicingly. He was unbeaten at his peak (sd for Kingpetch at second = bull****). Burruni gave the title when Ebi became his mandatory

    Lew Jenkins 42.86%
    Charley White 51.82%
    Chalky Wright 36.55%. Pep named him as the second hardest puncher he fought.

    Actually, Sam Langford has below 50% KO percentage and he's possibly the best puncher ever!

    Floyd, yes i know he was hard to hit but guys never fancied trying to walk him down to often. He was ultra accurate but he had better power than given credit for.

    Roy Jones Jr is one of the hardest punching middleweights and super middleweights ever, but his record doesn't reflect that.

    How many guys of any stature did Joe Frazier actually ko?
