    Well Rios has no power period.

    Gatti was a pretty crisp puncher where as Ward had a hammer of a left hook.

    Not sure about Alvarado.

    Rios would get KTFO in round 1 against a fighter like De La Hoya. Gatti lasted until round 5 and laded some leather on the Golden one.

    Just thinking about how gatti ward was far more hyped than rios Alvarado and someone suggested that gatti and ward had more ko power and that's why. I haven't really watched Alvarado Riis doesn't have one punch ok power in my opinion

    Gatti was a really good fighter , but just looked really bad against two all time greats.

    He is way better than Rios however that doesn't mean he wins , Rios coming in at his usual 215 :D or whatever he comes in at would play a huge factor in the fight.

    Gatti hit harder than them and was a better champion. Rios has a granite chin and decent power thats it. Alvarado is shot to pieces and ward was a high end journeyman

    Gatti hit hardest of all of them. He gave that one kid brain damage. He was also a slightly better fighter. But Ward was about Rios and Alvarado's level.

    This is foolish. Gatti and Ward are at a level of respect in the boxing community that Rios and Alvarado will never attain. I wasn't a fan of Gatti or Ward, but both are far beyond Rios and Alvarado who's careers have already peaked and they're preparing for their retirement tours.

    Gatti has the best power Rios is second

    Ward had solid power to the body but not the head

    I'd say Gatti vs Ward one is the best and Rios vs Alvarado 1 and 2 are probably better than the other 2 Gatti vs Ward fights

    Probably rank it all time as Gatti Rios Alvarado Ward

    Ward may have the best left hook to the body of alltime. It's just we can't say it because he was so average otherwise.
