of course! probably the best example for the thread, possibly the greatest 'armpuncher' ever

trying to think of a couple More

Brian Mitchell would be one

Thanks, the last few on that list, Duran, Morales, Saad & hearns were pretty bad ass. Especially the one on Tommy. That was the only thing I ever kept the link. I had a slew of emails from grown men telling me that made them cry.

They're still up. Just an FYI.

Thanks man.

I actually thought Saad looked, even if just from an aesthetic standpoint (even though it was obviously much more than that), like he was throwing punches with full torque. Maybe not all the time when in close (as you mentioned regarding the Johnson rematch), but who did? For the most part he had a pendulum like swing to his punches, Jackson-esque.

A guy that hit like a freight train without looking like he could crack an egg was Danny Lopez. I don't know what the hell was going on there.

I'd say boxer such as Manuel Medina and Chris John are 'arm punchers' , as in they throw alot of non power punches.

Manuel Medina is an excellent call.

Joe Calzaghe, Paul Williams, Ray Oliveira, Emanuel Augustus, Librado Andrade, and Antonio Margarito. Maybe Sebastian Lujan, though I only remember two of his fights. Calzaghe would be my favorite.
