    Some examples of underrated punchers who never got a shot (I think):

    Willie Brennan
    Frankie Callahan
    Pat Comiskey
    Kallie Knoetze
    Chino Alvarez (pure One-Punch- KO- Artist)

    Langford would hold the knockout record among those who never got a title shot I believe. Lausse is a good shout. As Knoetze failed to get by Tate in the WBA tournament to succeed Ali, so too did Mercado fail to get past Leon Spinks in a WBC eliminator to challenge Holmes. There are those who think this may have been Leon's greatest win. Bernardo was red hot, and expected by many to crush Leon like Coetzee did and Holmes would.

    Prior to his war with Hearns (and maybe even today), Hagler identified Cyclone Hart as the hardest puncher he was hit by, an opinion shared with Antufermo when Vito was champion. ("If he couldn't hurt me, I figure no one can. He wrapped his hooks around his whole body and made my head spin.") Both Hagler-Hart and Antuofermo-Hart have been on youtube for evaluation.

    Suzie, do you feel we can safely add the Hatchetman to that list? Herbert Goldman ranked him number 15 among all punchers in all weight divisions for Bert Sugar's Boxing Illustrated. Taking just 51 seconds get Maxim counted out the only time in Joey's 115 career outings he got stopped is a very special achievement.

    Great Call! :good

    I am embarrased I forgt him :oops:

    Hatchetman Sheppard hit so hard he once "Once broke a fighters collarbone." Archie Moore called him the hardest hitter he ever fought. That of a resume of 250 fights.
