    Pavlik. Once he gets an opponent hurt, he rarely lets them recover.

      If that is so, point out where.

        Surely you realize there have been more than 5 boxers over the history of the sport that could finish as well as and better than Pavlik?

        I already pointed out 5 like you asked me to. And I'm not particularly educated in boxing history.

          I already rebutted your post. Only one of your answers can reasonably be argued to be a better finisher than Pavlik, and that was Ray Leonard.

            Kelly Pavlik is the best finisher in boxing, hands down.

            Wladimir Klitschko should be on this list...(50 wins, 44 KO's)...He is the hardest puncher in boxing and one of the best finishers as well.

              This is true.

                Here is my reply to your other post in the other thread.

                Robinson was not a great finisher. You seem to be mistaking the ability to knock an opponent out with the ability to finish a fighter off.

                The ability to finish a fighter off is the ability to not let a fighter off the hook once they have recovered.

                Robinson was not a top 5 finisher. Many fighters got off the hook, however many where latter flattened by a single punch. This is punching power, not finishing ability. The same goes for Tyson. Had Tyson been a great finisher, Buster Douglas would not have won. Same thing goes for Marciano. He was a puncher. He managed to pull countless fights out with a single right hand. That is not finishing, that is punching.

                Archie Moore was a very very good boxer, a good puncher, and a good knockout artist, however, he was not the most prolific finisher. He was a prolific puncher.

                Joe Louis was a prolific puncher, and a prolific finisher. Ray Leonard was a hard puncher, and a prolific finisher. Kelly Pavlik is a very hard puncher and a prolific finisher.

                  If you had posted in the first few pages he would have been. All the nominees were based on viewer response. Wladimir is an excellent finisher, much agreed, WLAD. I'm suprised nobody mentioned him..

                      That's because we gradually lose our common sense when some posters have a vacation
