Gah, Mugabi was brought up from JMW to fight Hagler and had a total of exactly 3 fights as a MW once it happened. He never KO'd anyone really noteworthy and was stopped in 3 immediately after fighting Hagler.
John is at-best a "what would have been" puncher, like Ibeabuchi.
I can see arguing that Tommy's right-hand is a better single punch than any single punch of Monzon's but you're going to bring up Briscoe as a detraction? For real? A guy who only was KO'd once in 96 Pro fights, and that was by a guy who KO'd 42 of 63 of HIS opponents who also lost to Monzon?
Keep in-mind in Monzon you're talking about a guy who has stopped more than one Hall of Famer, and who has defeated the defeators of more than one Hall of Famer. He wasn't pretty either, nor very technical, he beat them with aggression and power.
