Name a established fighter that has less actually KO's (not TKO'S) then Joe Calzaghe?

Fair enough its not conclusive to say that Joe has no power because he has only 2 actual KO's, but it is a little odd that it is very difficult to find anyone with less actual KO's then Joe. Only two have been able to be found so far (prob out of 50-100 boxers), I'm sure there are more, but still.

Generally speaking and there are many exceptions to the rule, but as a general trend the big hitters tend to have more. For example Mike Tyson has 16 actual KO's, Paulie Malignaggi has 1.

Its a very wild observation perhaps and I admit that, but I don't think KO's are totally irrelevant when speaking about a boxers Power.

 

So your unable to find a boxer with less actual knockouts then Joe then.

 

There are obvious exceptions to the rule but as a general trend the bigger punches tend to get more KOs.

 

Perhaps its just pure coincidence that only a couple or so of established boxers can be seen to have worse actual KO records then Joe; out of all the hundreds upon hundreds of boxers both past and present out there.

I'm not Joe's his biggest fan and neither do I dislike him, but all throughout his career Ive never been hugely keen on watching his fights because of his lack of real power. Perhaps thats not a reason not to like a boxer, but that is the way I have always felt. I respect that other people feel differently and believe that he once possessed a fair amount of punch. I myself have honestly never believed that (I admit I didn't see a huge amount of him pre his first title fight (Pre Eubank fight), but I have never seen him as a puncher.


We all have different opinions and at the end of the day that's mine. I respect that other peoples are and will be different.

 

Haye has only fought 22 fights, one of which he lost, (less then half as many as Joe) and the Enzo Maccarinelli fight was all but a KO and should have made it 4.

I've had this Haye avatar since I joined, but think I will be changing it because people are really starting to over estimate David Haye. He is totally unproven in the Heavy Weight division. Hes got power there's no question about that, but I wouldn't go around like you stating he's the hardest puncher in the world at this moment in time. He couldn't take out Carl Thompson when he needed to and got the sh1t beaten out of him. There are Heavy Weights out there who may well take his head off, we will have to just wait and see. Don't believe the hype, David Haye has it all to prove in the Heavyweight division.

As I stated if you wish to believe that Joe is a powerful puncher then that is your prerogative. Personally I don't and believe his record displays this.

 

As I said its hardily a perfect logic but a generalisation that perhaps displays a trend, perhaps it doesn't.

I just thought it odd that nearly next to absolutely nobody (boxers past of present) have less genuine KO's on there record then Joe.
