    All a higher caliber puncher than G-Man IMO, if you're taking into account quality of opponent stopped as well. Unfortunately for G-Man, he never really had the chance to show his power off too much. The two most notable scalps are Mugabi and Jackson. Never known for being particularly durable fighters, and straight-on, face first guys.

    And yes, I know Armstrong and Moore are not on there :D

    The only person Ive seen with power like Jackson in the last few years is Valero ;)

    Abraham has had some brutal knockouts in his career, shame he's so limited.

    It's between Naz and Danny Lopez for hardest one shot hitter at 126lbs IMO. Both would make my top 20 hardest hitters without a doubt, and both should've sprung to mind above.

    I would say Abraham was a harder puncher than Valero. I won't go over it again, but nothing special in that department at all IMO, obviously a hard hitter (and starting to show some skill before he lost it) and certainly not on the level of Cuevas, let alone a Jackson...although I'm sure you're just winding me up anyway :D

    Tommy Morrison had great power imo & he's not often mentioned in these conversations.

    :lol: Best fight is with Minowa of course.
     
  12. Hearns splattering Duran is probably the sickest KO you'll ever see.

    Hearns needed a second to realise what he'd actually done at the time :yep

    K.O+Quality of opposition X quality of chin/toughness/powers of recovery=Arguably the greatest K.O of all time :yep

    Why dont we see punchers like Jackson and Trinidad at these weights anymore? Is it because fighters are hitting the pads with combos rather than learning to punch through with their shots?

    Yep, this, and the fact the level of teaching has gone right downhill.

    More of an all-round composite puncher than an all-out devastator (but then most punches are, very few guys who could just throw wild shots and spark people) but Nonito Donaire has scored some highlight reel K.Os. Gamboa as well, but less as he's moved up.

    You get the occasional corker at the top level still, Martinez Vs P-Dub and Pacquiao Vs Ricky for example. Fighters fight less often, less chance for K.Os to be scored???

    IMO, and it's not one that's generally shared, is that boxing has regressed across the board in recent years.
