First off, noone has ever said Boone is feather fisted. He can obviously punch. But he fought Ward fairly early in Wards career, Ward was a lot better when he fought Froch.
And why is this supposed revelation thread worthy? Darnell Boone probably hits harder than most of the fighters he has fought, hasn't prevented him from racking up 21 losses though. Froch would shrug off Boone's best shots and then KO him.
Managed correctly Boone could have gone places as a fighter. He's fought 20 undefeated fighters, both Kovalev and Stevenson twice + Andre Ward and Pascal. Tough *******, who can bang.
