    Also Slapsie Maxie Rosenbloom and Joey Maxim. They were both light hitting light heavyweight champions and fought heavyweights successfully.

    Well, briefly, Willie Pastrano was in the heavyweight top 10 in the late 50's or early 60's....till he saw Sonny Liston coming down the pike...

    Harry Greb, tho not overly featherfisted at middleweight, was arguably the second best contender to the heavy throne for a number of years.

    I'll also throw in Freddie Beshore and Chuck Wepner. For all Wepner's size, I always thought he threw a bunch of big slaps.

    Zuri Lawrwnce.

    Tony Tubbs wasn't featherfisted in his prime but he had very long carrier
    this destroyed his(unimportant) ko percentage.
    Biggs? He wasn't so featherfisted before the Tyson fight.

    Some featherfisted featderfisted klitschko brother opponents:Kevin Johnson,
    Chambers,Adamek.

    But Zuri Lawrence is the king.

    The Valuev-Vidoz fight proves Valuev wasn't featherfisted at all.

    The best of all the feather fisted heavies was Jimmy Young.
