    Best brilliant boxing finisher? Your take

    Not because im Puerto rican.But i have Felix Trinidad as one of boxing's most exciting talented finishers in the game.



    Most of his finishes came at a point where he had his opponents wobbley as a dizzy lamb waiting for a long stretched kill.It's almost as if the crowd sensed it,then drops a left hook or a hard right.It was rare to see Tito let the bait go,i guess thats what intruiged most fans.


    I tip my hat to Pernell whitaker,tough fighter against Tito.But tito couldnt finish.



    Tell me your pick,elaborate a bit.

    Joe Louis, Mike Tyson, and Ray Leonard were all awesome finishers.

      I see Wilfredo Gomez as possibly the best boricua finisher. Tito was great at it, but Vargas got out of round 1 after being kd twice, and he had Camacho in trouble but never finished him.

      Whitaker never was really KOd, his last loss was really due to injury like what happened to Vitali K against Byrd.

        From film that I saw I would have to say Jack Johnson. For one he had no choice but to finish people when a fight may go 20 rounds. Besides, who else can say they knocked a guy out thenn brushed teeth off his gloves?

          Young Mike Tyson has to be mentioned up there. He started finishing the fight as soon as the bell rang.

              Vargas was undefeated and wasn't damaged goods yet. And who can finish Camacho off?

                Alfredo Angulo does an excellent job of finishing while remaining patient at the same time.

                  DLH is the first boxer that comes to mind. The way he finished off a roided Vargas and Mayorga. And that epic round 12 with Ike Quartey, came so close to handing him his first KO loss..
