    I respectfully disagree.

    There is imo. a difference between KO and TKO. BUT for sure you can find many examples that show that there is not ALWAYS a big difference. It is a little like saying that Chinese are shorter than Swedes. Someone could say "no, that doesn't make sense the world's tallest women is chinese and look at that Basketball player in the US etc.

    Sure, the same goes here. Many examples that soften the difference, such as the Danish rules and single incidents. How ever overall, if we looked at how many have actually been counted out in Kessler's fights and compared that to Calzaghe's fights - I am pretty sure that we would find that Kessler had more KOs. Not as huge a diffence and the numbers show now, but still a difference.

    Does it then show power this difference? Well, maybe - maybe not. But remember that I was not the one that started claiming that one of these two had more power than the other.

    You said that Calzaghe had more power and that I think you will find it hard to show evidence to prove or just suport. The objective evidence points towards the dirrection that Kessler has more power if anything. But if you have a good explanation that can prove Calzaghe has more power then I will find it very interesting.

    You disagree with the rules? That is how they are.

    Calzaghe KO/TKOs has on average been in the 3rd round. Kesslers in the 4th. Calzaghe's opponents have on average been way better.

    Can you proove who has the most power? No, of course not. One can only come with arguments. But based on the fact, that you do not understand the difference between a KO and TKO, a further discussion is pointless.

    Kessler has the better one punch power now, no doubt. Calzaghe is just great at forcing the stoppage, with speed rather than power.

    Just for the argument, Deram: http://www.boxrec.com/media/index.php/Ring_Magazine_Knockout_of_the_Year
    Click on the fight and count. 11 knockouts of the year was KO and 7 was TKO. KO/TKO is not a way to determine power. Just ask Roberto Duran about the TKO Hearns made on him. That was a wild m.therf.cker!

    When a fighter is announced, they don't say fx. 40 wins, 20 KOs and 7 TKOs. They just say 27 KOs.
