look at margarito, hes not a good puncher at all but bcuz of his style he has alot of KOs. the pace and pressure scores his KO. then you have a guy like hopkins who isnt a big puncher but has above average power but seldom scores KOs bcuz of his safety first style and unwillingness to take risks.
dawson has better than average power too, the reason he doesnt have more KOs is his defensive style and mindset. when dawson is in control he takes his foot off the gas rather than go for the knockout. but there isnt a single fighter he fought who didnt respect for dawsons power.
alexanders power isnt bad either, granted some fighters showed no effect taking his shots but he did knock out urango who is nothing if not durable. i think devon can punch a bit but tends not to sit down on his punches for the most part. rather throw 5-6 quick and flashy punches than 3-4 hard ones.

margarito's recipe for winning is his power and intensity, granted he doesn't have much defense and footwork, but had a monster chin and stamina to make for his short comings. safety first boxers may lead to the catchy phrase boxer beats brawler but without power, it does not make it a decisive win in the eyes of many.
