Punchers That Made Their Opponents...

[Russell]

Opponents do strange things when they hit them.

A poster here said that Julian Jackson's punches made his opponents react like they were were having electricity run through them, something he never saw another puncher duplicate.

And watching Jackson's fights, it's true.

Drayton going completely stiff and falling like a felled tree, Graham slumping to the canvas like he had simply fallen asleep standing up...

Supernatural punching power.

Tommy Morrison could do this as well. Against Ruddock, Donavan looked like for an instant he was boneless, as if he simply had no skeleton as he fell to the canvas.

Against David Jaco he simply made him all backwards like a tree. First punch of the first round as I remember it.

Michael Moorer, at LHW especially, could do this as well. He'd hit guys with odd looking punches, and the way they would react was eery. Even up at HW he made guys like Alex Stewart and 6'10 Mike White go down like they were dead.

Who else?

[Russell]

Oh, almost forgot.

Ezra Sellers!

A guy that threw punches from impossible angles that should have made the shots powerless if there ever was one.

As one of our articles said...

"
I've seen Ezra Sellers KO people with range finders, and I mean dead asleep. I’ve seen Ezra Sellers nearly kill IRON CHINNED Johnny Nelson. I’ve seen Ezra Sellers fold Carl Thompson over, and nearly kill him as well, and that mother ----- is as tough as they come."

i think i once saw a FMJ fight early in his career and he hit the boy with a left hook and the boy kinda jumped up and kicked his legs forward and landed on his back

[AlFrancis]

I remember reading about and up and coming heavyweight where the author said
"when this kid hits people they literaly fly round the ring".
The name of the kid, Mike Tyson.

Ricardo Lopez seemed to have momentarily killed his ko victims.

I've seen Rafael Marquez hit people at bantamweight and look as if he killed the poor buggers; their eyes roll back in their head, their body stands stock still for a split second, and then they collapse like a fart onto the canvas.

When Rafael hit you (at that weight) you basically stayed hit.

[D-MAC]

Of course one of the more famous instances of this is in the Tszyu-Judah fight.

Zab hits the canvas, springs up, turns his head to talk to the ref, and then he falls over again; gotta love the double KO punch.

I often disagree with your opinions Russell, but you continually produce original and interesting threads on this forum. I salute you sir :happy

Even though he didn't win and knock him out, Renaldo Snipes made Larry Holmes go straight into that turnbuckle.

There is one fight when Gerald McClellan zaps some guy, completely stiffening him up, with a beautiful right hand down the pipe.

[SJS19]

Kelly Pavlik has supposedly made people wet themselves once he's hit them.

[Guyfawkes]

Foreman making Frazier and Norton fly up into the air with his huge friggin uppercuts comes to mind

[Surf-Bat]

Pipino Cuevas doing the snake dance before going down vs. Tommy Hearns.

Battling Nelson did a somersault and landed flat on his back after Aurelio Herrera detonated one of his bombs on his chin. To his credit, he arose.

[MagnaNasakki]

George Foreman's body/kidney shots.

I saw guys drop their hands, literally, to hug their stomachs to make it stop.
They would literally run away from him to avoid another.

I pissed blood after a day of those, once. George had cinderblocks for fists.

[Moochie]

Jackson's KO of Wayne Powell is another great one.

The way Tiger Williams collapsed to the floor AFTER the referee completed a standing eight count against Shavers was not an isolated incident with Earnie, but perhaps the most extreme example we have footage of. "He hit me, and the floor came up."-Ron Lyle.

You sparred with Foreman?

[MadcapMaxie]

Been some examples of a person beng hit so hard that the reaction is delayed and then they collapse
Rocco did it to Layne, shaved off some of his gums, Layne was taken off his lead foot then as soon he landed back on it he collapsed to the canvas and curled into the featal position

Louis did it to Braddock hit him, then after it registered Braddock went down and stayed down

[DonBoxer]

I have seen Valuev hit guys and they have gone once around the world and landed directly behind him.

[Foreman Hook]

Joe Louis bashing Tony Galento until he turned around and stumbled like a drunk around the ring, then hugging the ref like he was his savior

mills in the first fight against lesnevich supposedly he had been concused and boxed a perfect fight plan completely alien to him, slipping, pivoting on the left foot while jabbing and hustling on the inside. then whenh sort of woke up got dropped and outed. thus proberbly the best example of punchers making thier opponants do strange things...especially something detrimental to them.
