      In modern times, JMM is brilliant, and also, less heralded, Kelly Pavlik was a really good finisher.
      Incoming angry old man for mentioning Marquez had a good offense / could finish his opponent.

      He won't have anything for his argument and will just fling insults but regardless, a swift warning.

                  We are talking guys who can end it when they have the other guy in trouble. I think a lot of these guys were in the Middle divisions. But lets see where it takes us shall we?

                  Here are some that have been noted:
                  Heavyweights

                  1. Liston. Classic, measured opponents well for the kill, did not get over eager... One of, if not the best pure finisher in the division. Again...talking finishers here, not the best offensive fighters per se.

                  2. Louis. Patient, always cutting the ring off... Could spring a combination from anywhere at any time...

                  3. Tyson. Tyson ran up his victories gaining experience but not wasting time and durability. Used Dempsey pivots, and power to run through the gauntlet.

                  Middle weights

                  1. Jake Lamotta. Never stopped and then had an overdrive gear on top of it.

                  2. Ray Robinson. Relentless when he got his man in trouble. did not waste time when a KO could be had.

                  3. Gerald mcclellan. Excellent skills, great at driving home that KO punch.


                  Ok somebeody else take it away!!!!!!!!!!1

                    "It has to be Hafey." That was a popular refrain in his day. Almost everyone was saying it. It was almost as widespread as "Killroy was here," was during WWII. Art Hafey. It has to be Hafey. What a finisher!

                      I am almost positive that he was. I remember seeing him buy my short term is not the best lol. I seem to remember a discussion about him and Duran on that thread.
