Best Finishers In Boxing?

[Addison]

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

No doubt about that!

List me his opposition and how his finishing them was unimpressive.

Zertuche : Never before knocked out
Miranda: Never before knocked out
Taylor: Never before knocked out or defeated

Even that is trivial. You judge how well a fighter does something by watching them do it. Floyd Mayweather doesn't need to fight Roy Jones to prove that he has great defense.

All you need to do is watch Pavlik finish a fighter off. It is a thing of beauty. I have never seen a fighter as calm as Pavlik when they have a fighter hurt. I have never seen a fighter pick his spots as well as Pavlik does when he has a fighter hurt. I have never seen a fighter work angles as effectively as Pavlik does when he has a fighter hurt.

If you believe I am wrong, point out why and list 5 fighters that has ever done it better.

Sorry, I didn't see this post until now.

I don't know who Zertuche is. Never will.

Miranda? Who's claim to fame is what?

Taylor was indeed impressive, no arguments.

But relax, your boy has plenty of fights left to prove me right

Pavlik, Cotto. Julio Cesar Chavez Sr Was A Very Very Good Finisher In His Own Right.

Zertuche represented Mexico in the 2000 Olympics and had a 19-3-1 record prior to the Pavlik fight, he was never stopped before that fight.

Miranda was overhyped but he was a hard puncher who also was never stopped and he fought arguably the second most powerful puncher in division in Abraham.

Hey Shawn, who would be your 5? Just curious..

In no particular order:

Joe Louis
Kelly Pavlik
Ray Leonard
Ricardo Lopez
Aaron Pryor

The lack of great finishers amongst older fighters is largely an artifact of the reffing style of the times, and a lack of available footage of the fighters.

Since finishing ability is something that you have to see to rank, many of the great finishers of yesteryear get left out simply because footage of them doing it does not exist.

...Guess I will know who Zertuche is after all :

Miranda is a good win, but that's not the issue

True. One of the best. Most people have only seen the commercial fights. This man would have stopped Lucifer himself and would have died trying in his youth.

Just some information.

Julio Cesar Chavez would be in my top 5 if I excluded Aaron Pryor.
