    I think the list is pretty fair, can't argue with it at all.

    In divisions like this (right now anyway) the ability of the opponent to take those punches that counts just as much, Maidana is easily the biggest puncher but isn't anywhere near as accurate or good at timing an opponent as Marquez (for example) is.

    Then again, Marquez wouldn't have had to attempt to drag a right hand up from his bootlaces :think

    Sometimes a division contains a fighter that can stop anyone, or be unstoppable.....

    Just above Kotelnik but no higher I'd say.

    Judah's power has reached it's peak and may even be reducing. Khan's power is on an upward curve, you can see it growing, 6 fights ago he would not have dropped Maidana. Ortiz's power still has potential to improve and he will be one of the hardest punchers if he gets his act together.

    Bad mood, Flea? :lol:

    I think you're setting the bar of "feather fisted" a bit low. I've always thought someone who is feather fisted is someone like Paulie who couldn't conceivably stop someone.

    Ortiz already is one of the biggest punchers. I just wouldn't rank him above Maidana or Urango. Thing with Urango is he obviously has raw power but he's very telegraphed and wide with his punching and therefore he doesn't land as cleanly or as often as you'd want in a fighter. When he does the results are pretty devastating.
