Andres "Puppy" Hernandez (born in 1950) is a Puerto Rican former professional boxer who once fought Carlos Zarate for the World Boxing Council's world bantamweight title. Earlier in his career, he was known for being able to take many punches without falling; despite having four defeats by knockout, these came either after taking punishment for long periods against some of the hardest hitting boxers in history, or late in his career, when his ability had waned several levels. His boxing nickname is "Puppy".
