1986/25 years

[The Surgeon]

ricky hatton might have something to say about that lol but i agree that benn was certainly a monster with either hand

david tua was also pretty damn frightening in his day.


and on my fastest list..
i could easily throw meldrick taylor in there

Mmmm Hatton was pretty chinny towards the end there tho even Lazcano had him wobbled. Still that was a FRIGHTENING KO!

Tua actually made my list but i switched him right at the last second! He was a fat plodder with zero imagination but boy could he wallop with that left hook

Frankie Randall........ greatest fighter in HISTORY.

still, he was a career jr WW (and a hall of fame one,) and pacquiao knocked him completely unconscious for an extended period with one punch (and hurt him seriously with the right hook)
and lazcano was no world beater, and he was a smaller guy, but he could crack a bit. he had a huge build up top for a LW. he had a lot of kayos and the muscle memory of a knockout puncher.

i'll also go on the record saying that's the best looking pacquiao i've ever seen
he had it all on that night at that weight.
super tight boxing with his handspeed and direction changes and footspeed and the like
brutal punching power
and the perfect gameplan (bait hatton into coming forward by moving in and our and then dropping power punches over the top of his gloves when he pumps them)


there has never been former flyweight champion with punching power like that at jr WW,
not that i'm aware of anyway ^^


personally i;d like to see manny fighting at no more than about 138 or 140 lbs
and walking into the ring at about 145 (the weight at which he's fought for many years now)

thats where the magic happens, in my opinion.


he also hurt cotto, clottey, mosley, and margarito, oscar.

and clottey and margarito are two of the biggest WW's of all time (clottey has weighted as much as 170 on fightnight for a WW fight, which is as big as anybody i've heard of in terms of in ring weight after a weigh in at 147)
and oscar, and shane, likewise, had very good chins, even if they were very far past it.


and yes
like everybody else involved heavily with boxing and serious membership in its fanbase;
i want to poke holes in my own support of pacquiao every time i defend him
