Boxing's P4P weakest puncher???

[kick asner]

Jack Sharkey simply fought really good fighters throughout his career, and he had a good punch. Think of it this way. Tommy Loughran is one of the best fighters who ever laced em' up. In almost 200 bouts, he was only knocked out twice (plus a stoppage on an injury in one of his first fights), and Jack Sharkey tknocked him out in his prime.

Another aspect is in modern day boxing a fighter's opponents are hand picked for the sake of building his record so it looks impressive. His handlers know in advance who his fighter can knock out and opponents are selected on that basis. Then when he has built his record up he will step in against a legit contender. In the older days that might have been done to some extent but I don't think it was as common. Also in the old days they let a fight go on longer before they would stop it.

Paulie Malignaggi got to be up dere

[jezzamundo]

Zuri Lawrence, has no one mentioned him yet?

[ClivePatrickLyons]

What about the lightest hitting heavyweights?

Jimmy Young,Michael Dokes,Alfredo Evangelista,.......

Dokes was once accused of being feather fisted when he got wind of it he iced his next opponent I don't think he deserve's the feather fist tag.

Ceasar Cuenca is up (down?) there.

48-2 (2)

[PredatorHayds]

Cesar Rene Cuenca seems to be a current feater-fisted fighter with a record of 23-0-0 (1 KO) in 24 bouts, though I've never seen him fight.

I saw him a few times. He looked to have decent pop especially against IK Yang.
His KO ratio looks shocking but is mostly down to him not sitting down on his punches rather than power.

Paulie Malignaggi... Bunny Grant... Antonio Amaya... Tito Marshall... Willie Pastrano... Jack Zivic... Joey Maxim... Chick Suggs... Jimmy Young... Sid Terris... Denny Moyer... Holly Mims

Sometimes light hitters get guys out... Joey Maxim stopped Sugar Ray Robinson.

Tony Tubbs was nicknamed "TNT" but he had very little power. Of course there have been many fighters who never made it beyond the four-round fight stage who had very little power.

[Kalan]

The amazing thing is, there's been so many guys who won world titles over the years who couldn't punch a lick...

Joey Giardello.., "I can take a good shot, but Unfortunately I can't punch very hard ... and I never could... I wouldn't trade punches with my wife."

Cesar Rene Cuenca seems to be a current feater-fisted fighter with a record of 23-0-0 (1 KO) in 24 bouts, though I've never seen him fight.

Now 48-2 (2 KO's)...the guy is about as feather fisted as they come.

There was a MASSIVE amount of cherry picking and record padding in the old days... It was very common... For instance, Sugar Ray Robinson padded his record with 8 guys he could easily beat in the 5 months leading up to his 1st Middleweight Title Defense... Who does that today???

......lightweight paddty demarco. threw lots of punches and a billy goat with no power, picked up the lightweight title in one of those jimmy carter this-is-your-turn-next-time-is-my-turn jimmy cater affairs.

The market is different today. Fighters CAN'T do that today. Fighters had to do that in Robinson's time because they didn't make anywhere near the kinda money they make now. They had to fight frequently to make a living.

What about the lightest hitting heavyweights?

Jimmy Young,Michael Dokes,Alfredo Evangelista,.......

Dokes had a bit more pop than the other 2 IMO.

joey maxim campaigned as a heavyweight before he dripped down to light heavy and he didn't have much of a punch. he once said he didn't have the hand injuries so many others had because he didn't punch hard enough to hurt them.
