    No. He had a good chin, and he could bang when he needed to, same as Calzaghe. He nearly killed Diosbely's Hurtado and he put him on ***** street with one-punch.

    Beside Old Masoe Sturm has never faced a puncher even light hitting Gevor had him down and no question he has poor power. Every top MW would KO Sato or Pittman. Sturm is a good technician that why he is succesfull.

    Ok i agree maybe i was wrong with Stieglitz he has some power but his chin ain't good.

    Mundine has Ko'ed 3 of his last 10 opponents and was down against someone named Crazy Kim.

    Zbik as only fought bum's so far is power and chin are still untested but i'm sure he would get Ko'ed vs someone like Pavlik or Martinez.

    Has Yuri Foreman ever won by K.O.

    Andre Ward has poor Punching power in his fists. If he used his head he is an average Puncher.

    The fights against Green and Direll won't tell us anything about Ward Chin.

    I don't know, but that doesn't make your poor suggestion any better.

    How so? At least I admitted I don't know, or rather that I don't have the time to sit here thinking about it right now. Better to do so than put forward appalling suggestions like Calzaghe, a guy with a very good chin and above average power when he needed it & could afford use it.

    Dunne could bang aswell.

    Not really, I mean, he wasn't Malignaggi but he was no Tyson either. It's fair to say he was lacking in power but wasn't feather fisted.

    He had bad hands which is why his power often wasn't utilized, same with Calzaghe. He could bang though, I mean he took Cordoba out.

    Ayub Kalule of course.

    Couldn't punch his way out of a paper bag and was very easy to hurt(made worse by fighting weight drained for too long at 154), but in most respects a truly formidable and precise fighter technically.

    Would thrive were he around today and probably end up getting vastly overrated by many, as there is no one around with the tools to take advantage at 154/160.
