    Usually when we list ATG finishers we name off all time greats like Leonard, Tyson, and Arguello.

    Who are some examples of NON-great fighters who were excellent finishers?

    A few who come to mind for me:

    Tua: One of the best finishers in heavyweight history.

    Hurricane Carter: Devastating finisher.

    Zab: When Judah had a guy in serious trouble, he was generally good at closing the show.

    Frietas: Same as above. Frietas was deadly when he got a guy in trouble.

    Others?

    Gatti was pretty good against getting guys out of there.

    I was going to say Gatti but kept thinking of the Ward trilogy.
