    Rate it on a 1 to 10 scale, 10 being the most power. Also depending of your rating if you could mention what corresponds to a 10 for you.

    I rank is power 8/10, 10 being someone like Valero or Naz...

    8 is too damn high

    Gatti knocked you out with an accumlulation of punches, never one punch.

    The 8-10 range should be reserved for fighters with REAL power

    6 sounds about right..

    I'll say 7.5.
    He's been a C + fighter in my opinion but his left hook is good.

    I'd say about 7. He had some power but wasn't a 1 punch KO type guy.

    One guy that would probably disagree with us is Joey Gamache:yikes

    Gamache. He was brutally KO'd by Gatti. Highlight reel stuff.

    I'll try and find the clip for you.

    Tell that to Joey Gamache. :roll:

    Gabriel Ruelas - how did Gatti knocked him out, I forgot? - maybe with an uppercut. I remember though that it was with a single punch.

    On a scale of 10, I'd say 8 or close if , say, Cintron is 9.

    p.s. Leonard Dorin was downed by Gatti with one left hook to the ribcage.

    At 130-135, it was around 7 or maybe a little higher. He had real good power at those weight classes.

    Those incidents are the EXCEPTION, not the RULE.

    You bring up one or two Arturo fights (out of like 50 career fights) where he legitmately KO'd his opponent... and suddenly that's supposed to decide that the guy has one-punch KO power? One or two fights.. well, hell even Malignaggi and Sergio Mora have one or two KO's on their record! Should I use those fights as indicators for their power? :roll:

    If Cintron is 9, Gatti is 8? Wow.. just wow... the difference btw Kermit's one-punch KO power compared to Gatti's.. not even in the same zip code.. sorry...

    If he had enough power to hurt the guy you can bet your house Gatti was going to walk away with the win (with the exception of ward 1....gatti got robbed there)
