    Juanma Lopez

    Reasoning: Seems to be more accumulative and against the higher level guys they seem to handle it a lot better. He's good but not as good as many first felt power wise. Wouldn't say he's overrated in power terms. Just something i've felt for a while..

    Most overrated for me for a while was one Marcos Rene Maidana said it for ages and people are saying it. He isn't no one punch ko artist. He digs and knocks will out of fighters and that's it at world level.
     
  10. Froch for sure.

    Hatton might be another.

    David Haye for sure

    When he landed on Wlad it did not seem to have much effect.

    Does he have any KO's of good comp?

    Guys who are known for having good chins or are not shot?

    Sure he has "good" power considering his speed, but hes not KOing anyone near prime with a good chin

    Pac? Not that he can't punch but people cite his Welterweight punching power as him being on PEDs, and who is he putting away? Not many considering how often he normally lands.

    A lot of these guys mentioned had very good power at there respective levels till they reached world level then it become accumulation.

    We don't have many world class punchers nowadays sadly.

    If you mean Juanma, Yes Ponce did but that was a class shot and senses scrambled. Luevano was 7th round IIRC.

    Ponce was caught because at that time he had next to no boxing ability and went forward reckless. Juanma likes guys to trade with him, not saying he doesn't punch hard cos he does but he struggles with guys who are durable or don't walk to him or stand there in range.
