Most extreme examples of the "Glass cannon" archetype in boxing?

Thought of a few more Colombians:

Samuel Miller
Fernando Zuñiga
Juan Camilo Novoa
Fidel Muñoz
José Miguel Torres

...all CLASSIC examples.

And from neighboring Venezuela, anybody remember Miguel Acosta? Perhaps the most p4p exciting man in boxing for a couple of years. (had dazzling skill, could genuinely crack with pinpoint accuracy...but also supremely vulnerable and with just enough defensive gaps to be exploited; was dropped additionally in many of the bouts other than his stoppage losses.

 

Both of the "Destroyers" - Richard Hall and David Lopez.


..and huh, Herbie Hide was the Dancing Destroyer. What do you know.

Guess fighters are cursing themselves with ant variant of that nickname.

 

Hey, speaking of Bomb Squad...

 

Ah yes, the ironically named dynamic duo of the "Chin Checkers"!!!

 

Ola Durodola and (although he has only one official stoppage loss) Lateef Kayoed. Behind their p4p #1 all-time glass cannon king Herbie Hide, these guys (and I could swear there are some other well-known ones whose names escape me) are the vanguard putting Nigeria on the map as the GC capital of the Dark Continent...much as Colombia is the GC capital of the Western hemisphere, the Philippines the GC capital of Asia - and... Poland, maybe?, the GC capital of Europe.

 

We should make another version of this exact thread for the MMA forum.

Basically every KO artist in MMA fits the definition of a glass cannon, with relatively few exceptions.

 

Joel Julio, another Colombian. I think somebody already called out Jhon Berrio?

 

Oh man, we're slipping, guys.

Almost page six and no sign of Michael freaking Grant's name.
