    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 fights nothing like JuanMa.

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