    After watching yet another domestic level boxer finish on his feet, can anyone account for cejs extraordinary inability to move an opponent? Has junior ever ko,d anyone? Ever?

    Idiotic post. He beat his penultimate opponent into forced retirement from the sport and he made Gary O'Quitterson QUIT because he couldn't handle the power. He is one of the most concussive punchers in the sport today.

    He doesn't have as much power as his KO % suggests. All his KO's will dry up when he starts mixing with better fighters

    It's not the fact he hits really hard. He is quite heavy handed but he's relentless with it and the punches just don't stop coming!

    he hits hard enough and throws 20-30 punch combinations in every fight

    can wait to see him throwing those 30 punch combinations at golovkin :)

    Not a one punch ko artist but he carries the sort of power that really starts to wear the opponent down.Hurtful enough to make many quit.

    Not one punch power but anyone who thinks he doesn't punch hard is delusional.

    His body punching I think would be effective on even world level guys, shame that GGG specialises in that area. The reason Eubank does not get 1 punch KO's is because he does not throw effective straight punches. His old man was better at being able to hit people on the point of the chin.

    Maybe not quite as hard hitting as some but still very unpleasant to be on the end of, and he throws loads.

    This is the point.

    It's very good throwing unanswered punches at fighters a couple of levels beneath you, but what happens when the calibre of opposition is increased?

    He hits hard enough and puts his shots together... relentless at times.

    Spot on. He has enough power that he can stop people if he lands consistently on them, but with better fighters, he will land less punches and won't be getting stoppages.

    He almost killed someone. He has dangerous power.
