    Among those names in the list . . . there's only one guy who is very consistent in destroying the opponents systematically . . . Cotto. :yep

    I think this is a clear case of quality not quantity. Pac may not have the most variable arsenal of punches but was he does have is devastating. And when he gets on the inside and lets his hands go, noone in the sport does it better.

    I guess this is a complete joke . . . the guy who has thrown an average of 12 punches per round in a unification fight has the best offense?

    Dammit . . . :patsch :-(

    :lol: :lol: :lol:

    Gotta be Wlad. The way he lets his hands go and hangs that chin out is plain frightening. On second thoughts for variety of punches I'll give it to JC

    Even though mate . . . WLAD has rarely fought an opposition who is as big as him . . . he's got all the physical advantage against almost all his opponents. That's a very big factor to consider in comparing fighters' offensive performances.

    Juan Diaz is a shoe-in for this poll.

    That many people voting for Klitscho is ridiculous. And I would have told you that BEFORE his fight with Sultan. Pac deserves it over him ten fold. In fact I would argue that Povetkin has better offense than Wlad. He has much better stamina, isn't afraid to take a punch in order to deal one, and his offense forces his opponents to change their gameplan and/or style more than Wlads does. Anyways though my vote goes to pacman

    I agree with the Diaz pick. He definitely deserves to be in the poll much more than some of those other guys. Gamboa doesn't have the recognition yet; but he surely be #1 in this poll a couple years from now; I have NO DOUBT :yep

    2 years ago, it was Rafael Marquez easy IMO.

    Now, I am gonna go with Cotto who I think is a bit more versatile than Pacquiao. But just a bit. 122 Pacquiao has a better offense than 147 Cotto IMO.

    It was a very tough choice for me between the two. I gave it to pac simply because Cotto has better defense and is the much better "boxer" so the fact that pac does what he does seems that much better. Almost a toss up though

    Whenever Vlad goes on the offense he is extremely dangerous, he could kill somebody!
