    Eubank Jr is not feather fisted. Ask Nick Blackwell about that.
    Tyrone Nurse & Thomas Patrick Ward are 2 good boxers, without knockout power.

    Jamie McDonnell- wins most of his fights by just an accumulation of punches and opponents struggling with the work rate. Never bangs anyone out.

    Terry Flanagan- Actually thought he had a dig on him after he stopped Magdaleno but apparently it was a nowhere near fully fit version that he beat. Since then he's gone to points against people he should be stopping as a world champion. Derry Matthews in particular has been stopped twice since he fought Flanagan.

    I have to disagree on Eubank. It's not like he knocked Blackwell out is it despite how many clean shots? Same with Quinlan. Also the fact that he's now at 168 isn't going to do any favours for his power.

    Don't know why I didn't think about Nurse, good choice.

    I don't believe any knowledgeable boxing man/woman would class Eubank Jr as feather fisted, he clearly is not. I would regard him as a fighter who does not always punch correctly. He hits the target instead of following through. There have been cases where he has knocked down/out opponents. When his right uppercut is timed perfectly it is a hell of a punch.

    However let's make it clear I am not saying he is a puncher either.

    When Eubank Jr gets his technique and timing right he is not a bad puncher at all.

    If any fit and healthy twenty-something year old hit someone in the head as many times as Jr hit Blackwell, then I'd expect that someone to not be doing well afterwards.

    Tony couldn't stop a one legged Haye convincingly. Says a lot that.

    Yeah, but no one of any note.

    I don't think I'd list him as feather fisted for 168 yet but I really don't consider him to be a notable puncher at all.

    Agree with other names being touted about, particularly Gavin and Nurse.

    We all know Eubank Jr is not a puncher, but he is by no means feather fisted.

    People are overestimating Eubank's power. He hit Blackwell with like 200 power punches including nearly a 100 uppercuts and Blackwell didn't even buckle & that was at 160. id say he's just above feather fisted but not by much

    Eubanks beat blackwell up clearly.
    The fact that he wasnt laid out flat on his back is more a testament to how tough blackwell is rather than how light eubanks punches.
    Eubanks hasnt got massive power but no way is he featherfisted

    Eubank is no puncher. He's a volume fighter throw lots and breaks your opponent down. i'd score him about 5-6 out of 10 on the power scale. When you compare him to another pressure fighter someone say like Hatton who had several one punch KO's and some genuine stopping power. You can see Eubank is not really a big hitter. He couldn't really hurt Quinlan.
