    Inspired by Davis obviously

    When we think of southpaws, we usually think of slick, defensive minded technicians. Still a few boxers buck that trend. Who are the hardest punching southpaws?? Off the top of my head, and in no order.

    Pacquiao
    Stevenson
    Tank
    Gannigan
    Moorer
    Marvin Johnson

    How could i forget hamed, and i guess Judah and Valero also deserves a mention, though i don't think they are in the same category of the above mentionned

    Not quite in that one shot KO category but Hagler certainly was a hard punching southpaw.

    I think Hagler power is very overrated. Solid puncher, but more of an accumulation guy than a one hitter quitter.

    Id rate his power as slightly above Crawford

    While he didnt fight like a puncher, Rigodon definitely had huge power

    Dont know shit about him, but his ko % is barely above 50%. Sure it doesn't mean everything, but still hard to see him as a huge puncher

    Ebihara was a massive puncher. He's a flyweight who fought every two weeks. Understandable that his KO rate isn't high. Watch him annihilate Kingpetch.

    I mean... he isn't wrong.

    The Pimp was very flawed, but he was a massive, massive puncher.

    An example of why KO % doesn't always tell the full story.

    Neil is a total idiot. No surprise he's humiliating himself once again.

    As you said, Stevenson had a ton of flaws, but he was a total bomber

    Tank actually reminds me a shitton of JuanMa, except he can actually fight through adversity as he shown last night

    Davis much more sophisticated skillwise than Juanma. He's also much tougher.
