    Jorge Noriega for me, the guy had literally no skills whatsoever, didn't take punches well and folded under pressure but he scored some ridiculous one punch knockouts too

    Richard Evatt maybe? He was a murderous punching featherweight who sadly passed away way too early.

    He dropped the much bigger Junior Witter in sparing

    'Former pro light-welterweight Georgie Smith was a close friend of Ritchie. He had this to say, “It’s really terrible news, I was devastated when I heard he had passed. Me and Ritchie were in Matchroom promotions together and were good friends. He was really tough as nails and could hit so hard for his size. We used to spar together even though I was bigger. Like a lot of us at that time, Ritchie could have been so much more (as a boxer) but he still did very well, winning an Intercontinental title and gave Junior Jones a great fight.”

    “I remember when I was going to fight Richie Edwards in a Southern Area title fight and me and Ritchie Evatt were in camp together. They brought in Junior Witter for sparring, I did a few rounds with him and then Ritchie gets in and knocks Witter down! He punched so hard for his size; Junior left the camp the next day.'

    Evatt gave Junior Jones everything he could handle

    poor old Enzo mac suffered the same fate as Nathan cleverly
    warren got them a paper belt, pumped up their records with stiffs to the point where they believed their own hype, and then got krushed spectacularly when they finally stepped up
    I remember seeing cleverly getting in kovalev's face at the weigh-in and I thought, "it you fight him with that same ego come fight night it'll be a short show". and it was.

    Sirenko could become one of the hardest punchers...............you can hear his punches land and the sound proves it, it's still early in his career, but he has power to spare!!! Watch him for the future.............

    Eddie Caminero. Middleweight from Lawrence MA. Tko'd joe smith jr and broke his jaw. Record of 7-9 all wins by KO/TKO and en of his lossea were by stoppage. Record is misleading he fought very tough opposition and has a couple very nice wins. Very tough dude.
