Cruiser weight accomplishments are irrelevant because I only mentioned Evander Holyfield as a 'heavyweight feather fist' and not a cruiser weight feather fist. When boxers move up in weight divisions, their knockout percentage usually decreases because heavier opponents are usually more difficult to KO. Even Floyd Maywaether Jr and Manny Pacquiao are welterweight feather fists, even though they were anything bt feather fists in the lower weight divisions since they were knockout artists then.
Evander Holyfield's KO percentage is 44% against non-bummy opponents at heavyweight. Whilst Earnie Shaver's KO percentage against non-bummy opponents is 46% at heavyweight. Thus, both are heavyweight 'feather fists' and rightly so according to my definition.
And then you compare them to a genuine knockout artist like David Tua, his KO percentage against specifically non-bummy opponents is 73% at heavyweight.
