Only one name please

[McGrain]

The non-heavyweight most likely to put away his opponent once he had him hurt.

[Duodenum]

Pryor.

[McGrain]

Pryor.

Nice pick.

Care to chose the best example of Pryor's murderous intentions?

[young griffo]

Wilfredo Gomez.

[Street Lethal]

Mexican legend Carlos Zarate.
Hell yeah! That dude was deadly.

[Duodenum]

Nice pick.

Care to chose the best example of Pryor's murderous intentions?Arguello I is the natural selection. In round 14 of a debilitating war, he staggered Alexis, and then unloaded a relentless barrage until referee Christodoulou made one of the most perfectly timed stoppages in championship history. To produce an explosion like that, so late in such an epic war, is a mindblowing display of sustained aggression. Most such late stoppages are either the result of the vanquished steadily wearing down, or largely from the administration of a single punch. What Pryor did (coming after a round in which Arguello scored one of the most perfect right hands to ever fail to wobble the recipient), was an extremely rare fusillade of withering championship round offense. In HW competition, Marciano couldn't do it in round 15 of his first match with Charles, and Ali was actually fighting back after getting up in the FOTC. Typically, the sufficient reserve firepower needed to sustain and induce such a late halt to the action has been exhausted.

Pryor never had Arguello so seriously stunned in their rematch, as Alex seemed to go down to get breathers (like Archie Moore occasionally would). Arguello made a volitional choice to finally accept the ten count. But if Pryor stunned somebody involuntarily, their only hope would be that the round was about to end.

[Duodenum]

Mexican legend Carlos Zarate.I considered Zarate, FG, but remembered that he let Pintor get off the deck to go the distance when Lupe took his title (an extremely bad moment in which to finally fail to stop a distressed challenger).

[Senya13]

Nigel Benn, possibly, although it was mostly vs inferior opposition.

[Duodenum]

Wilfredo Gomez.Gomez was another who I considered. Nobody's perfect, and the thread asked to name only one. I remembered that Wilfredo had Sanchez stunned, but couldn't close the show. There were also times when he chose to go easy on a hapless victim (former Nigerian amateur star and peek-a-boo stylist Eddie Ndukwu), and he needed the referee's intervention to finally stop former amateur conqueror Derrick Holmes (who had the much slower Gomez out on his feet in the first couple of rounds), despite dropping Holmes seven times in two rounds, and fracturing his jaw. (Incredibly, the referee who let it continue that long was Joey Curtis.) But Holmes was never close to taking a full count, and would have continued getting up for as long as it was allowed to continue. (This was on NBC's Friday Night Fights.)

[MagnificentMatt]

Julio Cesar Chavez

[red cobra]

Wilfredo Gomez.
Definitely Wilfredo Gomez.

[Dempsey1238]

Gans, perhaps.
I give Walker a good shot assumeing he is not fighting heavyweights.

[doublesuited]

Ottke.

Anthony Mundine found out the hard way.

[hopkinsfan07]

Jack dempsey

[C. M. Clay II]

Jack dempsey

He said non-heavyweight.

[C. M. Clay II]

Maybe Ike Williams?

[janitor]

Terry McGovern deserves a mention.

[Dempsey1238]

Maybe he means the middleweight champ. JAck Dempsey. Of couse he was not known as a puncher but a boxer.

[McGrain]

Some great choices in here gents. I will go for Hagler. Maybe not the obvious choice but I sometimes have dreams about the way he closes on Hearns once he had him hurt.

[Amsterdam]

Julian Jackson

[NickHudson]

Hey McGrain,

very surprised at your Hagler choice. No doubt Hagler almost always got the job done.

But in several instances he seemed to make a meal of it and it would take him 2-3 rounds longer than you might think once his 'prey' were first wobbled...

[mcvey]

ROBINSON

[Minotauro]

When he was in good condition Ruben Olivares.

[mr. magoo]

Former Flyweight champion, Humberto "chiquita" Gonzalez. He was definately a huge banger for a man so small, and could polish a guy off with one shot if he hit him at the right time. I'll never forget his fights with Michael Carbajal. Definately classics.

[China_hand_Joe]

Possibly Joe Calzaghe.

Once he has them hurt, he slaps them until the ref jumps in. Not killer instinct as such, but it's getting the job done.

:lol:

[Manassa]

Maybe Ike Williams?

Yep.

[C. M. Clay II]

Yep.

I knew you would respond to that.:yep

[Tony]

Pipino Cuevas.

[Manassa]

I knew you would respond to that.:yep

Respond to this, cunt: :finger5

[C. M. Clay II]

Hey, no need to get nasty. I was just playing.:rolleyes:

[Drew101]

Ricardo Lopez.

It was almost automatic...if he managed to put an opponent in serious distress, then that opponent wasn't making it to the final bell. Witness his bouts with Nene Sanchez, or Vorapin, or Potelo, or Rocky Lim, or Ohashi for proof of this claim.

If an opponent was stubborn, or granite jawed, then he'd be more patient, but, on the whole, he's one of the best finishers that ever existed.

[Robbi]

Sugar Ray Leonard

[Manassa]

Hey, no need to get nasty. I was just playing.:rolleyes:

... But I despise you.

[C. M. Clay II]

... But I despise you.

Well, whatever floats your boat.:smoke

[Calroid]

The non-heavyweight most likely to put away his opponent once he had him hurt.

I'd like to say Julian Jackson but he tended to put them away before the nerve cells let the brain know that they were hurt.:yep

[bladerunner]

Srr.

[brooklyn1550]

Wilfredo Gomez
Aaron Pryor

[KTFO]

Odlh.

[Mike T]

Gerald McClellan
Tito Trinidad

[McGrain]

Gerald McClellan
Tito Trinidad

That's not one name you bad monkey.

[Mike T]

I know. Just can't decide which one.

[cardstars]

Hagler as aforementioned. I also have dreams of him swarming Hearns once he was in trouble.

[DocDevil]

Ruben Olivares

[Danny]

John Mugabi. I don't think I need to explain why this is my choice!

[Two Fisted Piston]

Oscar De La Hoya
Gerald McClellan
Mike McCallum
Terry Norris

[The Kurgan]

Julian Jackson. He had a lot of trouble landing his big bombs, but if he did and if his opponent didn't have a McClellan-like chin, it was game over.

[Holmes' Jab]

Julian Jackson.

[Robbi]

Oscar De La Hoya
Gerald McClellan
Mike McCallum
Terry Norris

De La Hoya's goes crazy when he tries to finish an opponent. Not calculated and precise enough, and very wreckless.

[McGrain]

Hagler as aforementioned. I also have dreams of him swarming Hearns once he was in trouble.

No shit? Chirst that's kind of spooky me and you having the same dreams.
