    Saad stopped the following with one punch: Richie Kates, Lottie Mwale, Murray Sutherland, Jerry Martin, Pete McIntyre.

    I'll go with him.

    I second that opinion. Saad could really punch.

    Sutherland was two punches and Kates had just got up off the canvas. Mwale was a two punch combo from memory. Brutal left uppercut on the back of it tho. Martin was stopped on his feet by a right hand and contrary to some controversy at the time it was a great stoppage. The right hand that stopped McIntyre was sweet but he'd knocked him silly just moments before. He could have finished him with a followup when he turned his back on him but took mercy and put him away seconds later after allowingh him to regroup.

    No doubt Saad had big power but some of those i definitely wouldn't call one punch stops.

    Saad power was potent from the 1st round until the 15th round. That's
    what made his fights so exciting. Kovalev hit hard but was no where as
    dangerous as Saad. Saad fought better opposition and fought in a golden
    era of LHW.

    Saad really put a cold-cocking on poor Lotte Mwale...a monstrous 1 punch ko.
