I always thought Mark Breland was a bit of an arm puncher with a big punch.
If you compare his style to Thomas Hearns when both welters, Hearns seems to get his body behind those hooks and right hands, Breland seems to get good power from his shoulders , not swivelling his body into the shots. Obviously I may be talking bollocks as well

World class Korean not face forward-
Can’t remember his name, the light flyweight that made a ton of defences in the 90s
The two possible ones there were both pretty face first (Yuh and Chang both racked up a load of defenses at 108)... Neither were slugger I guess but very much "in your face" fighters. Chang the more polished of the two
.. But Chan Hee Park was a talented boxer mover, out boxed Canto
Your knowledge of the Asian game is unparalleled mate, love it It was Yuh I as thinking of.

Feather fisted ko, didn't Carlos Cuenca knock someone cold when he had around 45 fights with zero knockouts?
Holyfield was heavily muscled with top stamina.

A fast footed but slow handed fighter
Eubank Sr
An exceptionally tall and skinny non-HW with an iron chin
Can think of other way round (say Andy Ruiz) but can’t think of that one.... does it exist?
Joe Joyce seems like a good example. He's agile and light on his feet for a guy of his size/build but really slow hands.

There was a Korean in the 1980s (Yong Kang Kim) who gave a brilliant boxing display to dethrone Thai flyweight legend Sot Chitalada for the WBC title and he looked assured for a long reign, racking up a couple of successful defences before the amazing Chitalada beat him in a rematch.

He was the one I had in mind but because his hands are so slow you kinda feel obliged to lump him as just a generic slow guy overall rather than acknowledge that his feet actually aren’t slow.
