Pillow hands but great boxer?

Chris "Rapidfire" Byrd. I think he squeezed as much out of HW as you can while having non existent power

 

He was called Calslappy for good reason

 

Wish his hands weren't so fragile. Could have been a frightening seek-and-destroy pressure fighter.

 

Paul Spadafora. He was a great boxer IMO but had zero power.

Malignaggi had hand issues like Calzaghe. He had some Ko's early in his career.

 

Slapsie Maxie Rosenbloom.
Pernell Sweet Pea Whittaker.
Good nicknames as well as pillow fists.

PS: Ali post Thrilla.

 

And being severely undersized and lacking physicality. So as a pure boxer hes about as good as it gets since he didnt have much else

 

Whitaker could sit down and hit when he really needed to. Wouldnt call him a pillow fist

 

Zags was the obvious one.

Fury at his best.. even with his more aggressive style he's not a particularly heavy puncher

 

Yeah being a MW olympic silver medalist and starting your career at SMW to go on and grab a HW title is actually amazing.

 

Haney and Kambosos have about a 50% ko rate I wouldn’t consider that pillow fisted.

 

Bivol and out of the younger crop, Justis Huni.

 

Floyd Mayweather Jr.

 

Paulie Ayala

 

Agreed.

 

Mayweather.

Before I get the comments of he could punch at lower weights, he always had glass hands. In the first Castillo fight, he complained about hurting his hand. That was at 135 pounds.
