    Vingo who never scaled 195lbs kod no one of any note, neither did Potgeiter ,unless you include a novice Buddly Walker? Cooper 195lbs ? When was that? At 36, in his last fight
    he was under 190 ps I'm short, and I've had a drink with Cooper [red wine ] he was no 6'2"

    We have no common ground here.

    I never said Hein Ten Hoff couldn't punch. Big heavyweights can and do knock men out.

    But Wilson Kohlbrecher? He was a second string Euro trial horse at best and was stopped 8 times in 45 fights. He was not that good and not durable.

    If Savold had fought and knocked out Kohlbrecher, I don't think I would consider it breaking into his top fifteen knockouts.

    Take Duilio Spagnola, definitely not one of Savold's top ten KO victims. He was stopped only twice in 34 fights, and beat a couple of fringe world class types. I think he was a notch better than Kohlbrecher, and definitely tougher to knock out.

    And Spagnola is a long way from guys on your top puncher list like Franklin and Nova,

    or an Eddie Blunt or Buddy Walker who went out in the first round against Savold.

    Speaking of Walker, I wonder about him making this list of punchers. Walker KO'd Eddie Mader, Jack Trammell, Buddy Knox, Lee Oma, Harry Bobo, Abel Cestac, and Johnny Shkor, a more impressive list than some.

    Savolds resume is really impressive I don't know why so many posters here think he was a soft fighter. The man could punch clearly and was cagey

    Okay.

    And you are rating him behind such as Ten Hoff and DeJohn who don't have anything like this kind of resume?
