    Haye is a phenomnally powerful puncher

    And I am not a Haye lover - I'm just being fair

    No body knocks out Mormeck the way Haye did - sheer power

    No doubt Hamed was a big puncher

    But the top boys were able to withstand the power

    Marco Antonio Barrera
    Wayne McCollough
    Vincezo Belcastro
    Manuel Calvo
    Manuel Medina - retired on his stool

    For me Alexanda was a more explosive one punch merchant - like that Takloo shot was devestating:yikes

    he crossed my mind

    I think he is underrated puncher - cos he held himself back after the Watson tradegy

    but lets not forget that shot on Watson - one humugous uppercut

    Eubank at his best was a devesating puncher

    Haye is a VERY good puncher but the Mormeck KO was as much to do with fatigue. Haye is getting above Hamed, Benn, Lewis, Bruno on some lists FFS!!!

    Thats true, I remember after the collins defeat the comeack fight lasted all of round 1. But if he had come to terms with the what happened to watson I wreckon after him knocking collins down the first time he would have finished the job.

    Paul Ryan had good power but probably a leakier defence than Derby County :deal

    The shot from Thaxton lives long in the memory

    His defense was pretty bad but his chin was even worse. Probably the worst I've ever seen on a top class boxer. Great to watch though, does anyone know what he's up to these days?
