Satterfield's an interesting one even but Wells never beat anyone at all in the pro's. Bernardo Mercado might be a better mention.
Liston needs to be mentioned. Wayne Bethea (TKO1), Clevland Williams (TKO2, TKO3), Nino Valdez (TKO3), Zora Folley (KO3), and of course Floyd Patterson (KO1, KO1). That's 7 wins against top contenders and a two-time champion that all ended inside of 3 rounds.
Shannon Briggs came straight to my mind... Tyson, Mac Foster... Lennox Lewis.. Ruddock, Golota, et al...
Yes , you are right.. and the thing is, they were not garbage can fighters either. They were dangerous *******s who were world class.. He also dispatched a long string of no names before them via the early route.. Ie.. Al Malcolm, Jorge Dascola, Mike Simawelu.. Another 1 round merchent was a mister Frank Bruno.. He was a killer..
..thomas....i picked nick wells because, as requested, he is certainly obscure, a word you seem to have trouble with. yes, he went nowwhere as pro, as i mentioned. maybe you also have trouble with the word powerful. no one who saw him can deny he was a murderous one punch, one round knockoout hitter. maybe we should come up with a new championship designation... hardest hitting most obscure one round fighter in the world, with various guys being called champion by the wbc,wba, who,aztec boxing council,wbo...etc. i think we really need more alpahabet titles.
.......john t...i thought it was eleven...but who's counting?.. apparently that ******* sanchez or whoever, with his delicate rhetorical question regarding my breakfast thinks i have been nasty to you..which i haven't, and if i was i've read enough of your posts to realize you can take care of yourself quite well, without the need of help from anyone.
