Boxers whose power was exaggerated

It's more of a thing these days than it was, say, 2-3 years ago. He went out very popular for starching Dillion, and I think its had time to enter the collective consciousness around here.

 

Damn! I just thought of him, but you beat me to it!

Berlangas power seemed legit, considering that he went 16-0, all wins via T/KO in the first round, and against seemingly decent opposition - relatively speaking of course.

Ulises Sierra had just gone 10 rounds with Vladimir Shishkin, and years later it would take Bektemir Melikuziev 3 rounds to stop him. Lanell Bellows was a decent low level journeyman who gave the occasional prospect a good fight, and he had never been stopped before. Cesar Nunez was a mediocre boxer, but at least he went 8 rounds before being stopped by Vincent Feigenbutz and Daniele Scardina - both of whom are pretty decent punchers on paper.
Berlanga KO´d them all in the first round, with ease.

But nope, he went 4-0 with all decisions after this fight, against guys who were a clear step up in competition, but also guys who had all been stopped before. They clearly picked opponents for him who could be stopped, but Berlanga failed to do so.

He has since gone 2-2, both wins coming via T/KO, but against lower tier opponents than the ones he went the distance with.

Berlanga is just a weight bully, and his T/KO rate at 175 will likely be well below 50% once he makes the unavoidable jump in weight.

 

Jeff Lacy is the single most over rated puncher since Ive been watching boxing
