Can anyone tell me a historical ATG that was a volume puncher

[Steak]

how about Jake LaMotta? I havent exactly watched his career so correct me if Im wrong, but he had a real low KO percentage in his wins and the KOs/TKOs he did have seemed to be more of him wearing down people with a nonstop attack more than power.

heres a good one: Harry Greb. He was supposed to be super active in fights, but I dont think he was a big puncher.

Greb's a good shout but the Human Windmill could punch OK.

[Jim Jeffries]

Joe Calzaghe maybe

He's not an ATG, yet. Before he messed up his hands and wrists, he used to have some pretty good pop.

Greb's a good shout but the Human Windmill could punch OK.

Greb had only 51 KO's in over 300 fights, and you'd have to think he fought some stiffs in his career.

If we're setting Juan Diaz as the benchmark for power, then Greb & Armstrong are good choices.

Armstrong was an extreme volume punchers who steadily wore his opponents down, & from reports Greb was pretty much the same.
Part of their low KO record was attributable to fighting bigger guys, but they were relentless volume punchers, not power punchers.


Another ATG worth mentioning is Jeff Fenech.

Classic example of pressure fighter who steadily broke down his opponents through the sheer volume of punches & relentless attack, but had little in the way of power (although that was partially very bad hands).

Henry Armstrong is a prime example. He didn't have one-punch, or even two punch power. He was simply relentless in the ring, and wore his opponents down. Another good example would be the Roberto Duran of 147 and higher. No huge power, but he definitely stayed in his man's chest.

Kid Gavlian

Excellent example.

Excellent example.

Gavilan wasn't really your typical volume puncher. He was much more of a boxer/puncher. He also had decent, if not strong, power.

As someone mentioned, a guy like Jeff Fenech is a perfect example of a volume puncher with no power. He won all his fights on overwhelming his opponents with punches and mauling them. He had very, very brittle hands and very little KO power.

Duran became a boxer at 147 and higher. He also wasn't a volume puncher at the higher weights at all. You could use him at the lower weights because he was more of a wear down fighter. Unfortunately he also knocked guys out cold with one punch so he doesn't really count in any way.
