Weakest punchers with the most KO's?

Oh no doubt McCallum had good power. But if you look at his phenomenal knockout record at junior middle, you'd have thought he was a devastating puncher, which he was not.

 

There's no way I would consider Hopkins a weak puncher. He's a very good body puncher and had above average pop at middleweight.

Hopkins hits hard enough to KO Trinidad at least.

 

I think people (mis)conceive of Pep as a light-puncher b/c of the way Saddler just stormed thru his best punches. in actuality, he had a number of notable KO/stoppage wins over ranked fighters throughout his career.

 

Wilfredo Gomez …power was not his best attribute

 

And I could name 15 fighters off the top of my head….who were better body punchers than Mike Mccallum

 

Vitali was not a special puncher and he has an impressive KO ratio, higher than quite a few heavyweights who punched harder than him...

 

McCallum and Paz immediately come to mind.

 

LaMar Clark with 43 W - 42 KOs 3L
He also holds the record for most consecutive knockout wins in Boxing History.

But 99% of his opponents were below amateur level.
So his punching power cannot really be estimated and never will be.

He lost his last fight against a very young Muhammad Ali.

 

Joe Calzaghe
Vitali Klitschko
Mike McCallum
Salvador Sanchez

 

Chris John,from memory was actually a puncher in his early career,then after he split up with his second trainer and got a new one,he started to become the crafty boxer we knew today

 

Tommy Hearns.

Could not break a paper bag as an amateur and was the same as a pro-especially at welter and light-middle.

Never stopped any decent fighter at all - the ****ing can.

 

Watch the Virgil Hill fight dummy!

 

Carnera. Seventy one KOs … right.
