    His power looked good against lower opposition he has good power but the way people were talking about his power before the Froch fight you would of thought they were talking about Julian Jackson.

    Really, 27 wins 27 KOS? I'm surprised to hear that form some that uses Kanji?:huh

    Why don't you add Julian Jackson, Khaosai Galaxy and a prime Iron Mike to that list?:lol:

    Jokes aside, Abrahams was badly over rated in the power stakes at 168 and I agree with Maidana and Froch (big Cobra fan:yep).

    No mention of Pacquaio?

    Hard hitter yes, but isn't the whirlwind HBO make him out to be, nor has he hurt anyone since Hatton/Cotto.

    Amir Khan, everytime he has a fight announced people make predictions saying, Khan by KO.

    Khan will not KO Garcia, just how he did not KO, Peterson, or Judah.

    Ok, he did KO Judah, but thats because Judah quit.

    margarito , clottey , mosley and even bradley would disagree with you.

    all were hurt by pacquiao.

    pacquiao was only the 2nd to knock down mosley. 2nd after vernon forrest.

    and pacquiao pretty much ended margarito's career with the damage he caused his eye.

    Canelo I think is overrated in the power department. That is actually one of the first things I hear peopld mention when talking about him. No, not that powerful, he just puts everything into evry shot which makes it look stronger than they are imo.

    Probably, Mosquera was as gutsy as they come. De Marco was a tough fight to. I think basically Valero was a powerful bully who liked dishing it out but struggled when he was on the recieving end.

    No doubt about it he was a shitty guy, but I think the toughest opponent he fought was himself, and unfortunatley he won. Not sure, we never got to see his best in the ring.

    emmanuel because of the brutal KO of Ricky cause mainly by Ricky's recklessness.
