    In terms of raw power, I rank Abraham over Pavlik.

    Pavlik wears guys down with a high punch output and a consistently thrown left jab. Most of his stoppages occur when the ref jumps in to save his opponent. Abraham, on the other hand, doesn't throw many punches, electing rather to explode in flurries. His stoppages occur suddenly and the opponent is usually out cold on the canvas.

    No arguments in terms of pure power.

    For light middleweight, definitely, which is saying something considering Hearns was also a one-punch KO artist at the weight. At middleweight, I feel a few rank over him in terms of pure raw power that we've seen extensively on film.

    The choices of Fitzsimmons, Ketchell, etc were on an era by era basis by the way.

    HW - Virchis
    CW - Haye if he still counts. If not, Bell
    LHW - Pass :huh
    SMW - Berrio
    MW - Abraham
    JMW - **** knows. Mayorga?
    WW - Cotto
    JWW - Witter
    LW - Campbell
    SFW - Easy to say Valero, but the guy is fighting bums. Pac's is diminished, but maybe. Gut feeling is Gamboa
    FW - Don't know **** about this division. Guerrero at a guess
    JFW - Ponce De Leon for raw power
    BW - Shocking division. Perhaps Gonzalez/Agbeko
    JBW - Arce
    Fly - Lopez
    J fly - Solis
    Straw - Condes

    I mistyped...so much hype around the Hop fight...its almost force of habit to type MW now.

    You may remember from my other great posts....like Finito Lopez was the most underrated MW of the past 20 years....or Duran was an ATG at MW but when he fought Hagler at LHW, he was far removed from his prime.

    Im telling ya...Im losing it, Sat cant come quick enough.

    Call it a brain fart I guess.

    :lol:
