So far no one has cited perhaps the most exciting example of this kind of fight, George Foreman versus Ron Lyle.

[oldgringo]

He was considered one of the biggest hitters in the sport, when he faced both Pryor & Mancini.....even though he was fighting them past his best weight.
Why do you think he was such a huge favorite to beat Pryor ?
It was because Pryor was considered easy to hit, & most thought Arguello would light him up with his beautiful powershots.
Even though Kevin Rooney was just a journeyman....the way Arguello iced him (Arguello's last fight before Pryor) with one sweet right hand.....showed Arguello was still devastating at 140.

Ike Ibebabuchi was a tremendously well-rounded heavyweight...someone I thought could have been a true great. But, people are overrating him as a PUNCHER these days.
He was good puncher....but it was his all-around game that made him special.

I always thought of Arguello as somewhat of a technician or surgeon with his punches. Much like Kostya Tszyu. It's not so much that he had overwhelming power...its just that he threw his punches with stunning accuracy, speed, technique, and dedication.

Ibeabuchi is labeled as having monsterous power by many, but I agree more with what you said here. I think Ike had underrated technique and boxing abilities (or overrated depending on who you speak with). His punching power was certainly nothing to scoff at however...he obliterated Byrd with a pristine uppercut...I think that's what gained him so much noteriety.
