    Edison Miranda, Arther Abraham, Kelly Pavlik, Robert Helenius, Sam Peter, Jeff Lacy, JuanMa Lopez to a lesser extent, Lamon Brewster.

    There have been many more in the last few years alone but it seems when ever a big puncher scores a KO or 2 every 'expert' jumps on their nuts. Who's next? Rios or Maidana imo.

    How was Abraham's power exposed? he may have been exposed as a limited fighter but his power was never exposed ask Jermain Taylor.

    David Lemieux fits this description perfectly.

    And Helenius sent Delboy flying 17 feet from a Rhand to the top of the skull in the first round, but broke his hand throwing it. Yet he still rocked DelBoy a dozen or more times with the wide L hook to the point that Dericks knees buckled.

    How did I say his power was over rated Arcane. I said he was over rated as having limmited skills.

    Good one Boom Boom.

    your one of these wankers ruining boxing. people are allowed to lose. look at the two losses Pavlik has had. Martinez and Hopkins ffs not really exposed is it.

    thanks to knobs like you we have a generation of fighters unwilling to take risks. look at Pac Mayweather

    His low ring IQ was exposed. Not his punching power.

    Saying a 21 yr old was 'exposed' is also a long shot in a lot of cases... after he mops the floor with Alcine, we'll see him against a top 15-20 MW. Judge him then.

    **** you kid presentable. I was one of the ones who defended Pavlik but he was still exposed. Martinez is over rated too imo. And no the promoters are the ones who prevent fights not fighters.

    Promoters have been doing that since the 70's as well.

    Lol at Abraham, a long reigning MW champ who only ever lost to much bigger guys at SMW.

    Lemieux is a good shout who fell in love with he own power but he still has his career ahead.
