AKA exceptions to the norm


A fast footed but slow handed fighter

An exceptionally tall and skinny non-HW with an iron chin

An arm punching/slapping huge puncher

A featherfisted dude scoring a brutal KO (wins over KO prone journeymen excluded)

A heavily muscled dude with excellent stamina

A Japanese or Mexican fighter with no heart (no Mexi-Americans...too pampered lol)

A world class Korean who wasn't a face first slugger

Featherfisted:
Tyson Fury wasn't exactly renowned for brutal power, but he destroyed Wilder.

Slapper:
Calzaghe was a bit of a slapper at times

Quitter:
Chavez Jr quitting versus Jacobs (mind you he's always compared to his dad, who had heart).

Stamina:
Vitali I seemed to remember had decent stamina. Foreman (any 60s/70s boxers as they did 15 rounds??)


No shot on the others.

Paul Williams had a good chin - I don't think we need to count that Martinez shot against him.

These questions are boggling my feeble mind. I almost have an answer and then it’s gone.

Carlos Maussa

Ken Norton

None. I went to two gyms when I lived there and it's like they don't teach defence AT ALL. Carlos may be able to shed some more light on that.

World class Korean not face forward-

MT is asking for things that are quite rare. Reminds me of the Bill Maher skit where an updated version of a freak show would be a teen girl who doesn't text and a straight male flight attendant.

Now while he wasn't exactly feather fisted, he wasn't known as a big banger either. So one that always pops in my mind with this is Michael Nunn's KO over Sumbu Kalambay. Kalambay was hard as a rock, and Nunn certainly wasn't the biggest puncher he'd ever faced, but Nunn f*cking BLASTED his ass with one of the single most devastating and perfect shots you'll ever see, and took him out in the 1st round.

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

I have my doubts about Riku Kano, when the going gets tough he has been found wanting

A tall skinny fella with a good chin - Leo Santa Cruz, been in some great fights never seen him badly hurt and especially at bantam he was a proper bean pole.

Fast feet slow hands - maybe Golovkin, he cut a ring off beautifully and isn’t lightning fast. I suppose he has good feet, not fast ones.

Bad puncher with power - Wilder. I suppose he can throw a big right hand, but very often when I watch his punches I just think he shouldn’t have that much power in a poorly thrown shot.

Heavy muscles and stamina - LMW Cotto? WW Pac? Shawn Porter!

Fewtherfisted brutal KO.

It’s at heavyweight but I thought Hughie Fury’s knockout of Sam Sexton was pretty brutal.

Edit - Just rewatched it and I must have misnremembered. I thought he knocked Sexton clean out for some reason.
