    Hide and Johnson were both KO'ed in brutal fashion in two rounds..
    Also try to watch his fight pre-Byrd.. Yeah they were all D-C class fighters, but the KOs were brutal..

    Don't know about that cliche..
    Hopkins, Ali, Louis and Duran are examples of ATGs who declined in punching power.

    I'd go with Maidana. I think he's a good puncher, but because of his lack of technique, his power isn't consistent throughout a fight.

    He can hurt you and make you back up or even go down, but I don't think we've seen that brutal KO vs a top guy without him breaking that guy down.

    Pacquiao. He has no 1 punch KO power except for Hatton going in face first.

    Don't get me wrong, he has good power and great speed and accuracy that throws combinations in weird angles.

    Prime Bailey couldn't even KO a glass jawed 140 lb Miguel Cotto, despite hitting him with some massive punches. What we saw the other week was a fighter with a **** poor chin being KO'd by two punches. TWO.

    Mike Jones has no chin. None.

    Cotto hands down, Lil Floyd walk through and showed no respect for his power, Mosley Power was also overrated

    Exactly! I saw a top 10 all time hardest punchers P4P on here, that had Bailey in the top 5 :patsch

    By the way Arran, what did you make of the Ortiz-Lopez fight this Saturday? Ortiz is a complete mess, he's one body shot KO away from being this generations Zab Judah!

    I saw one that had him ABOVE JULIAN JACKSON AND THOMAS HEARNS!! :rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:patsch

    Ortiz is a mess. He can be fun to watch but he can't quit at this level. Let's look at his four losses:
    1) A DQ1 against a nobody for hitting on the break in an attempt to finish the fight.
    2) QUIT against Maidana in a fight he was clearly winning simply because he didn't like being hit.
    3) LOOKED FOR A WAY OUT, QUIT and let feather fisted Money tee off on him as soon as he realised he was getting nothing done and had no chance.
    4) QUIT against Lopez in a fight he was winning simply because he was expecting the fight to be over within a handful of rounds.

    The man is the laughing stock of boxing. And going into the changing rooms and CRYING on camera infront of a global audience of how many people? Pathetic.

    Glass chin, glass heart, glass brain, glass jawbone, glass sternum. I agree, he just needs to be exposed for having a glass body and he will be just like Zab.

    It's funny, if Lopez is the Mexican Paul Williams I guess Ortiz is the Mexican Zab Judah.

    Disagree mate, he's one of the hardest P4P punchers today, a real nasty shot does Bailey throw.

    Peter, Valero and McClellan are good shouts.
