depends on what ya call little men mate.

I think you have to go up to SFW to find someone with a decent bang - step forward Kevin Mitchell and previously Michael Gomez. Although I would say that Mitchell is more of a "cumulative effect" puncher.

The only one below that with a decent dig seems to by Martin Lindsay but he actually doesnt have a great KO record.

Carl Johansson can dig, IMO. Again depends on little.

Neither are British, though. Neil said British.

Bantamweight Gary Davies has a decent punch on him.

Sorry i've got to start reading the question Thaxton has decent power so does Appelby when he bulks up a bit he'll have a good punch on him IMO

a few times i can assure u lol but i always won haha only jokin, yer tony swifty can bang aswell, really doing well up to now imo. personally i havebt seen anyone in europe at garys weight that punches harder so hopefully he can make a few defences of the british then move into european level because i dont rate the current eu bantam champ at all

So 14w 0L 6ko's - that's not a great KO record? I would beg to differ, not to mention Martin has a KO added on his amature record also, something of a rareity, would you not agree.
