    I rank Corrie as a very hard hitter. His body looked suspect but he had real pop imo.

    No trolling. Who has sanders KO'd that was of world class level? He sparked sprott, but so have a lot of people. He stopped wlad and knocked Vitali down.

    But who else?

    Hits hard enough to KO Fury, Wilder and Joshua.

    "Well no one has the power that Shavers had. Remember when he brutally ko'd Ali, but the ref allowed the fight to continue and Ali was wrongly awarded the decision? What do you mean that never happened? Ha, you're just an "Ali****", you don't know what you're talking about."

    That post would be about as accurate as this thread.

    So would you rate sanders power as 10/10 world class?

    no that would be a little too high,,,

    maybe a 8 or close to a 9.

    Being honest I would probably go with a 7. A notch or 2 above average

    He was a fast powerful southpaw to say otherwise is a joke.

    I wouldn't say it was his power but rather his delivery. Guys like Lewis, Tyson, Wlad and a lot of others all have the power to KO a guy with one shot but very often you don't get the opportunity to do so because your opponent is defending and can see the punch coming...
    Sanders was peculiar in this case because he was a southpaw, and not many fighters had dealt with the left cross in their careers. He was also lightning quick with his hands and often counter-punched.

    It was very easy for him to completely catch a guy off-guard with a shot and put him down. As the old saying goes, the punches you don't see are the ones that hurt you the most.

    well considering your a little bit biased that means he is really a 8 or more which is exactly what I just said :good
     
  13. It's no myth

    He had crazy power the kind of power wilder can only dream about having
