Boxers with overrated power

Exactly so David Haye fits the bill. People went on about him 'catching Wlad with one big shot' :-(

He's also an absolutely abysmal finisher.

Valero is another overrated puncher.

 

Exactly. I'm same as you normally don't bother.

 

Pissed me off did that. For about 6 years Pac has gone in the ring weighing around 140 to 145 lbs.

 

I'm just going on what I've seen a fair few posters say. I'm just tarring everyone with the same brush.

 

:nono

27-0 (27 KO).. proof's in the pudding :deal

To be fair I think Pacquiao is a serious banger, perhaps not at welter but he certainly carries a fair bit up there.

Looking at his record....

Marquez - never stopped, KD x4
Mosley - never stopped, would have been but for running
Cheato - a sick sick chin
Clottey - a MW with a concrete chin
Cotto - ko'd
Hatton - stretched in 2, hurt by every shot
DLH - drained but still tough, ko'd
Diaz - meh
Barrera - only KO loss of his career to Pac
Morales - stopped x2, never by anyone else

At 135 and below he was a wrecking machine.

 

I think it was more to do withthinking JMM was comfortable the lower weights whereas Pac was no longer killing himself to make weight.

Ended up that it evened itself out and went the same way as before (minus the knockdowns)

 

Yeah and I think neutral people talk about Haye as if he isn't even an above average puncher compared to the current heavies. He is. I was talking about versus the neutrals, rather than the 'he's the worst heavyweight champ ever' or the 'he's going to KO Wlad in 1' crowds.

 

Davids power is overrated

His speed and skill however is not overrated. And his chin is probably underrated

However, at heavy his power is probably "average".

At cruiser his power was "good"

Remember, Haye throws all his bodyweight into his punches,(hayemakers) and catches people off balance with his speed....

If he really had real power, he would have been KOing GOOD fighters at cruiser. Not tkoing them

 

We have a winner :thumbsup

 

Khan, People look at his stoppage's but thyre normally from accumalated punches

 

Barely anyone gets clean KO's these days. They aren't allowed to even if they were able to.

 

Well, he stopped most of those guys because of his raw power (which he's demonstrated since looking hopeless against the quality Sasakul) and offensive prowess.

Hatton and Diaz the only ones from that list he's sparked but yes, still a serious puncher in terms of raw power IMO, whilst not on the Jackson, Foster, Hearns level.

 

lol **** off

 

Khan is considered feather fisted on here.
