    Dejesus has 51.5% KO ratio, hardly devastating stuff. Corrales is an all time devastating puncher

    I really wouldnt say thats the right way to look at it.

    Though I personally would consider Corrales the bigger puncher alltime , I think it is closer then the numbers say.

    Ike Williams didnt have a very high of a K.O. percentage either, would you say that he wasn't a devastating puncher?

    that imo is not an indictment of dejesus, rather it speaks to how good that 70s lw division was. duran was the clear cut #1 dejesus the clear #2, but the rest of that bunch were some damn good fighters.

    PowerPuncher bases the majority of his opinions off Boxrec and boxing statistics in general.

    in your opinion who of the lw that came after the 70's beats a prime esteban. my list is very short. the only two i can say would are pea, and mosley. i put him at no worse that 40-60 against chavez, and the rest imo are 50-50

    Matters **** all what De Jesus' KO record was. He floored Duran with his left hook multiple times, and one of the hooks he delivered to the stomach of Saul Mamby when he was a past prime drug addict was one of the hardest body shots I've ever seen land on film.

    Man could hit.
