When you think of boxing and "The Executioner" you'd typically think of Bernard Hopkins, the Middleweight who went be the intimidating and daunting sounding name. Surprisingly however Hopkins isn't the only man with the "Executioner" moniker, another man using the name is little known Russian Heavyweight Sedrak Agagulyan.

It's fair to say that when we think of executioners we think dangerous, devastating and the sort of person who would have a few KO's on their record, unfortunately for
Agagulyan he has completed failed to live up to his nickname and instead of being intimidating he has pretty much been a Russian whipping boy.

With a record of 1-27-1 it may well be fair to describe Agagulyan as the least effective "executioner" in the history of boxing.
