    Good power, but is a counterpuncher who doesn't throw many punches and doesn't go in for the finish after he hurts a guy.

    Sorry about the off topic post but I can't read another thread involving you without asking:

    "Who the **** is that in your avatar?!?!?!?!"

    Cheers :)

    Hatton doesn't punch nearly as hard as Holt.

    You got to be crazy or kidding.

    Holt would have put JMM down for life.

    This pac fever is damaging brains around this mofo.

    Holt dropped bradley who said afterwards he felt the power and speed like no one he has faced before.

    Its the speed what can hurt you with Holt, he is probably in the top 3 for the fastest hands in Boxing today.

    if your using Holt's ko% to "tell the story" it's not a terribly good argument to use

    as Kendall has 13 wins by kayo in 25 fights a kayo percentage a bit under 50%

    it just means he's not a knockout artist

    oh and the TS forgot to mention that yeah true Holt couldn't drop Diaz with one shot

    but he did knock him down in the first round.

    Holt can punch, no doubt. But if i had to pick someone i thought hit harder at 140, i'd say probably Randall Bailey.
