    (Not just TKO him with the aid of an overeager referee, but actually knock him out for the count).

    Probably every elite SMW of the 90s with genuine power. Roy, Benn, G-Mac, Eubank, JT etc.

    I love Andrade, but these guys would pound the crap out of him.

    Agree. He's a great guy, but Tsypko was actually...able...to move....out...of the way...of his...jab...altogether. These guys would spark him.

    Does "etc." comprise anyone else, specifically, or were you just covering your back?

    I fear rabid Calzaghe fans and another debate over his "power".

    Nigel Benn sprang immediately to mind.

    I don't think either Watson or (especially) Calzaghe would stop Andrade.

    Watson has a case. But Calzaghe no. Not even the early Calzaghe.

    Its hard to imagine anyone KOing Andrade properly. The guy has so much heart I think he'd get up from most knockdowns. Even though he's wide open for a beatdown he always seems to absorb shots very well with his loose/floppy head.
