Saddler - most ko's in feather weight history.
R.Olivares
S.Sanchez
A.Arguello
V.Saldivar
Olivares' best days were definitely as a bantamweight. Saldivar was a very underrated fighter, but really more of a boxer-puncher like Sanchez. Arguello was a killer though.
so theres not much footage of saddler...but he's still #1...............great.....
There isn't much footage of him but his accomplishments as a FW puncher are unmatched really.
What other proven featherweight puncher has a KO over a great like Willie Pep (who was 134-1 at the time)?
The Ring Magazine ranks him #5 greatest puncher of all time. He is one of the few boxers to have over 100 KO's.
Saddler also trained one of the hardest punchers of all time George Foreman.
It's easy to say he is one of the hardest punchers based on his accomplishments but it would be good to have more footage of him.
Saddler knocks down Pep with an uppercut (04:08).
Saddler vs Gabriel Elorde
Sandy Saddler, 144 wins, 103 KO's.
I guess Danny Lopez, Hamed and some other featherweights are up there as well.
Agreed
Would throw in arguello as well.
There isn't much footage of Saddler aside from the Willie Pep fights. Only a few other fights with Elorde, Woods, etc.
The third fight. Saddler drops Pep in the third with a left hook.
Couldn't find the first fight where Saddler KO'd Pep but it's out there somewhere.
Sandy Saddler was one of Foreman's cornermen and you can see his influence in Foreman's style.
Danny Lopez KO's Malvarez.
Lopez knocks Caba out of the ring twice.
Lopez had 42 wins, 39 KO's.
Sandy Saddler, 144 wins, 103 KO's.
I guess Danny Lopez, Hamed and some other featherweights are up there as well.
On numbers, it would be Saddler. From what my own eyes have seen, Lopez. His right cross used to turn out opponents lights, not just stagger them.
