Rosario Arguello Delahoya Duran Ramirez All these guys were great punchers at 135, in my opinion Its a tossup between Arguello and Rosario but Rosario was probably the stronger puncher and Arguello the sharper more accurate , and the rest are also very close. What do you guys think:huh
Ramirez rated Rosario's power over Arguello's following his first match with El Chapo. To me, that makes it come down to Duran or Rosario for the top spot. 1) Duran 2) Rosario 3) Arguello 4) DLH 5) Ramirez I have no argument with differing opinions, as it's a challenging question to answer.
1. Duran 2. Arguello 3. Rosario 4. Ramirez 5. DLH-he didn't stay long enough to be there high for me. A puncher that did though and would rank real high for me is Andy Ganingan.:tits:tits:tits:tits
In terms of pure power: 1. Rosario 2. Arguello 3. Duran 4. DLH 5. Ramirez All of these guys have serious power at this weight.
I am also a big fan of the "Hawaain Punch" He hurt Arguello alot and put a scare into him briefly, Also went through Sean Ogrady. I thought of putting him in here but ill save that for a non champs list of great punchers. 3 or the 5 on here are atgs and the other 2 are pretty close(Rosario Ramirez)
tough list Rosario Arguello Delahoya Duran Ramirez I could interchange Oscar and Roberto and the list would still be accurate to me.
Hard to distinguish one from the other IMO. For the record I thought Hoya's stoppages came about just as much from his get ****ed speed at the weight. Whereas a bloke like Ramirez had to rely far more just on his power.
Duran = Had the punch in 2 hands and the skill to land Arguello = Solid rocket right hand and perfect hook,strong jab, quick release right Rosario = Serious power not as skilled as the 2 above but he could hurt (Bramble) Delahoya = had skills and some power but some speed to add Ramirez = He was slow, he had power but could not execute like the others
That fight against Bramble in 1986 was sort of surprising. Rosario exposed Bramble as overrated and easily demolished him. That was a case where Rosario easily hit him and Bramble couldn't defend himself. I was a little surprised. Bramble looked almost shocked at how hard Rosario could punch. And the left hook which hurt Camacho was solid.
I dont think Bramble was overrated i just think that shows how hard Rosario could punch cause Bramble had a great chin. Even though Rosario blew him out i still think Bramble was a Very good fighter.. His wins over Mancini2x,Crawley(very talented) were impressive.
Arguello and Rosario are the top 2 but Arguello was the better all-round puncher IMO as well as having the pure power Rosario also had
