I remember someone saying about La Motta that his only KO's were from people who fell over exausted from hitting him.

LaMotta wasn't that bad of a puncher, certainly not feather-fisted by any means. He legitimately KO'd Jose Basora, Bob Satterfield, George Costner, Laurent Dauthuille, Walter Woods, Jimmy Reeves, George Kochan, Joey DeJohn, Tony Janiro was out at the bell. He also knocked down Sugar Ray Robinson twice.
I agree with both of you guys, but it's just that it is really hard to find a trully feather fisted atg, because of how much skill these guys possessed.
i wouldnt exactly say he couldnt punch from what i've seen
but if names like lamotta and gavilian are being thrown around on this list then
lionel rose probably should be too
