    Might be stretching it, but would you give consider Wayne Alexander a great puncher if nothing else?

    De Leon/Sod Kokietgym II was one of the nastiest knockouts in a long time. They had Kokietgym on oxygen and everything.

    I like Avelar for this, I think. Just seemed to have that sort of casually heavy technique in terms of natural torque and rotation that had a slingshot effect whenever he landed cleanly. He could be open and hittable at times, occasionally tended to lurch/lunge with his shots, didn't possess notable speed of hand or foot and didn't have the best chin, but his timing in an exchange when those shortcomings seemed very apparent could change things in the blink of an eye if you didn't pay him the proper respect (and sometimes even if you did). Going straight at him - even if you were excellent at it - tended to be a bad idea more often than not.

    Ezra Sellers is a name in recent years who tended to lay the other man out stone cold in nonchalant, sniper-like fashion with what sometimes seemed like relative fairy taps, though he himself could be taken out just as easily. I think everyone at the Forum in Manchester thought he'd killed Carl Thompson that night.

    Carpentier sparks out Ted Kid Lewis.

    Ok, looking at it, Carpentier didnt knock Lewis out cold, Lewis was still trying to get up. So I was wrong.

    There was a fighter from Jamaica who fought as a Welterweight and later on as a Jr Middleweight. Simon Brown. If you stood with him you could get wrecked pretty bad. He could be outboxed but it wasnt always easy to do. One of the forgotten terrific fighters we have had.
