Best finishers of all time

[IRLangmaid25]

Who do we all believe are the best finishers in boxing of all time.

[yancey]

The Brown Bomber comes to mind right quick.

[tagjohnson]

Muhammad Ali big time! With multiple late abd final round KO's and rallies to serve as examples; Frazier, Ellis, Shavers, Lyle, Mathis, etc.

[polecateddy]

Lennox Lewis didn't miss many. Perhaps just letting Holyfield off the hook in the 3rd round of their first fight.

[RadioElRadar]

Ray Leonard didn't seem to let many opponents off the hook having hurt them.

[evrenb]

Ray Leonard didn't seem to let many opponents off the hook having hurt them.

Yep ray leonard, frazier, tyson, louis, hearns, arguello, ali.

[Ambling Alp II]

Foreman was a great finisher. Dempsey and Pryor have to be up there as well.

[HomicideHenry]

Among heavyweight champions..... Dempsey, Louis were the top two best finishers; Marciano, Tyson are close seconds

Among heavyweight contenders.... I always thought Razor Ruddock was one hell of a finisher

Ali was not an all-time great finisher. Finishing means you get your man in trouble, you get your man out.

I'd bet some of these guys would even view Sonny's dive in Lewiston as a prime example of Ali's "finishing" abilities.

Disregard anything this man has to say about Ali

Ali was a truly great, great fighter.

Should they disregard that statement, you simplistic jackass?

He was not an all-time great finisher.

That is the truth, whether the simpletons understand it or not.

[Woldemar]

Foreman,Hearns,Sugar Ray Leonard,Alfonso Zamora,Mac Foster,Tyson.

[yancey]

Foreman,Hearns,Sugar Ray Leonard,Alfonso Zamora,Mac Foster,Tyson.

Hearns would be the very definition of a finisher.

[elmersalsa]

And the great Roberto Duran?

[Othro]

Nancey, maybe I'm confusing you with another poster . No need for your childish drivel. Who has Ali ever let off the hook though ?

[yancey]

And the great Roberto Duran?

Duran does not quite meet my personal definition of an all-time, "put their lights out when their ready to go" type finisher.

Neither does Joe Frazier, btw. (this for the simplistic morons who seem to think that I'm a total Frazier shill)

Duran and Frazier would be classified as attrition type guys, which btw, I think is ultimately worse for the health of an opponent than a "lights out" type of finisher.

My moniker is "yancey", jackass. And you accuse me of being "childish".

I won't answer your question as I really don't think you understand what a "finisher" really is.

[palooka]

Wifredo Gomez
Carlos Zarate

Nancey boy I think you're confusing one punch knockout artists with finishers sweety.

[giacomino]

Wifredo Gomez
Carlos Zarate

Good call.
I would add Arguello and Olivares as two other guys who didn't let hurt fighters off the hook

[Giancarlo]

Has anyone mentioned Hagler?

[tagjohnson]

Between their hen fights, yes.

[palooka]

The welter and light middleweight Hearns was very good, once he'd landed hard he was there in a flash.
The prime Don Curry could finish very well when he'd hurt his man.
Ricky Hatton was a good finisher.
Ricardo Lopez was excellent and could finish a fight quickly but not look hurried.

[Crease]

Joe Louis.... And Archie Moore.... And Mike Tyson.

Buster Mathis, big time
