Mediocre fighters with great one-punch-power

Ernie Shavers.

 

Earnie Shavers wasn't mediocre. He was a very good fighter, he just had stamina and chin issues which is why he lost quite a bit of his fights.

 

Eugene "Cyclone" Hart comes to mind; he could "summon the sand man" at a moment's notice with that booming left hook...

 

Mike Weaver vs. "Big" John Tate. I believe the fight was on ABC and they had preview showing outside the ring footage of Tate chopping wood. Ironically in round 15 the wood fought back and "Timmmbbbeeerrrr", Tate crashes to the matt like a big old Redwood.:dead

 

The perfect description for Bob Satterfield.

 

Ross purity probably deserves a mention, although I'm not sure if he was a one punch kinda guy.

 

..with sloppy technique and the lack of ability to put a dying rabbit out of its misery.

 

Oh sure,

A guy with 68 knockouts in 74 wins, and had the testimony of two of the most durable champions in history as being the hardest puncher of all time. Yeah, he was mediocre all right. :nut

 

That means he was a great puncher, not a great fighter. :deal

 

And not being great, doesn't necessarily mean that one is mediocre either.

 

How does a guy who was a top 10 challenger for the better part of 5 years, and who's rated by most experts as one of, or even thee hardest puncher of all time qualify as mediocre?

 

Maybe Lew Jenkins belongs here,though he did win a title,Sammy Nesmith,Iwouldnt put Lausse in there ,he sure could hit ,but I think he had a bit more going for him than a terrific punch.

 

Thought of another one ,not mediocre but not top flight either,Darren Corbett an Irish LH ,he could whack!

 

jorge castro vs john david jackson..power is the great leveller...
