    Did you actually read what I wrote? His knockout ratio is decent. But and it's a big but, he lost a lot ton of fights and unless you saw his fights you don't know if he landed his best shots on those fighters that beat him.

    Ko ratio dont mean that much, there was a guy many yrs ago who fought at the Olympic Auditorium who hit a ton, but had few ko's, and many losses, he was a MW, aqlmost everybody he fought he either dropped or staggered. Power is not measured by ko ratio's. M.Ali, had a ko ratio of 61%, Bob Satterfield had a ko ratio of 44%, does that indicate Ali hit harder? No.
    "he lost a lot ton of fights and unless you saw his fights you don't know if he landed his best shots on those fighters that beat him.", now this is just plain silly. It's simple, you can have all the power in the world if you cant land it it's useless. Power is still there he just couldnt connect with consistency.

    Do you guys read what's in front of you? Unless you saw all his losses you don't know that he didn't hit them with his best shots? If he did and still they beat him that makes his power not quite so impressive.

    The quote was a reply to Mr Magoo, the link was added as a matter of interest,taken out of context I can see they may be puzzling.

    It was a tragic ending. Its a shame he didn't quit sooner. But yes, Lem Franklin could definitely crack and arguing with Wass is about as good a use of my time as watching the grass grow.

    Yes it makes perfect sense to you, and yourself. Thank you, coming from you, I will take it as a compliment.
