    Nothing to do with power, but I'd rather end fights by TKO......outclassing the opponent in every department, and have the ref/corner wave it off to stop the punishment/humiliation. Kind of like what Mayweather did to Gatti and Corrales.

    I rather knocked them the **** out, but only if it comes. I don't care how I win as long as I win.

    KO. The kind that Martinez stopped Williams with. TKO from time to time would be alright as well. A nice, outclassing beatdown type

    You dont see many KOs nowadays. So it is very impressive when they do come. I think the only guy right now that has that kind of power is Abraham. He can KO you with either hand.
    Also Donaire looks to be building that mold but head to head i think Abraham still has more power. p4p terms i mean.

    a tko vs a ko has everything to do with power

    Sorry, I meant my preference (answer to your question) has nothing to do with power. The type of TKOs I prefer are more to do with skill.

    Do you think that Abraham lands his punches on the knockout points more? I.E. chin, temple.

    I agree.

    Fans are always more impressed by prospects how look good knocking guys out, but I like to see them dictate for a few rounds, show aspects of their game, like using the jab, showing their defense, counter punching, then I like to see them put their foot down when they have established control, that's what impresses me when reviewing a prospect, not spectacular KO's or TKO's.

    One of the reasons I was not taken with Alxeander, despite his impressive KO of Urango, is I still saw lots of technical flaws in him.

    A KO is a much more conclusive result. There are no excuses in a KO loss.

    I dont think it really matters where he hits you. He just has some heavy hands. Its rare to see a guy with so much weight behind his punches. I would love to know how hard he punches on a PSI machine.

    Well it really doesnt matter how to me but more to whom you do it. A fighter koing 50 sardines doesnt impress me as a fighter tkoing 1 world class opponent.

    a One punch knockout is always more impressive

    :deal Shows you have outclassed them completely instead of catching them in the right spot with the right punch.
