Was Marciano a one punch KO artist.

Both Michael Nunn , Muhammad Ali, and Wilfred Benitez scored one punch kayos, were any of them legitimate one punch kayo artists?:think

 

And,if you were game, and durable,he could ruin you permanently.

 

Yeah, he scored three big ones on film:

One on Layne, and two on Walcott

He might've had more on his unfilmed bouts, which makes up the majority of his career.

 

What about Mathews ?

 

The poll sucks, not nearly nuanced enough. On a scale, he is certainly toward that end but not in the company of a Jackson or even a Shavers. There really are very few one-punch KO guys. He generally beat his best opponents, such as they were in quality, by wearing them down with tempo and pressure AND hard hitting, and whether he took them out with one or several punches, the astute observer of the sport realizes that it was only the final step on a staircase.

A guy like Jackson could take a fresh as a daisy guy and have him pushing up daisies in a split second.

 

I was counting the ones where only one single punch landed. But yeah, if you count Matthews you can also count Louis.

 

I find that easy to believe.

 

I went wrong. He had the power but mostly he softened his opponent up and forced them into mistakes.

Walcott 2 aside he doesn't have a proper 1 punch turn around ko like Jackson did against Graham

 

How many fighters did have a punch like Jackson?

 

Not many but that's the level we're talking about right?

 

Marciano was one of the hardest punchers of all time, but it takes more than just power to knock an opponent out. It does take power along with timing, accuracy, and precision. One punch knockouts come when a boxer hits his opponent with a clean pouch that they don't see coming.

Which Rocky Marciano rarely did.

 

No. More of an attrition puncher who had a few Crazy 1 punch KOs, he hit awfully hard especially for his size but I wouldnt really consider him a 1 punch KO artist in the same vein as Julian Jackson or randall Bailey
