    Not sure I can go five deep, but Ivan Calderon probably tops the list. Could give shout outs to guys like Juan Diaz, Timothy Bradley, Paulie Malignaggi, Omar Narvaez, Masamori Tokuyama, etc. While guys like Mayweather, Calzaghe and Wright weren't big punchers, they're far from feather fisted, and even Bradley is borderline.

    Or are you trying to look for the lightest punchers, regardless of whether they were any good? In that case, I'd look to guys like Zuri Lawrence and Fernando David Saucedo.

    More good fighters kind of like Pauli Malagnaggi who can compete at a high level without any real power.

    Then for now, I'd go with:

    1. Ivan Calderon
    2. Masamori Tokuyama
    3. Juan Diaz
    4. Paulie Malignaggi
    5. Omar Narvaez

    If I thought about it more, I'm sure I'd come up with others who are retired. Tokuyama is the only one that jumped out in my head so far though.

    He was a light-hitting volume puncher. He got a few KOs by pure accumulation, but the punches sounded loud because he'd exhale loudly when he punches.

    That was the first that came to my mind also. Paulie´s arms are like socks filled with diarrhea. He stings like a butterfly and just dances in the ring like John Travolta.

    "In the main event, the light-version of professional boxing, no real damage intended, let´s play tags and dance for a while with skirts on our hips and rasta pig-tails on our heads waiving beautifully in the air." - Paul "myocardial degeneration" Malignaggi.

    In other words - I like them rough and tough á la Duran-style and hate these show-boating runners in the ring.

    Malignaggi is the most obvious example...nobody was more surprised than him when he wobbled Diaz a bit in their 2nd fight..:lol:

    I have actually seen him punch when I used to go to Gleason's in Brooklyn. No power at all when hitting the heavy bag.

    Adamek at HW doesn't deserve to be mentioned with the likes of the Malignaggis or Ivan Calderons.
