Who were the weakest-punching fighters that somehow still won a world title?

Nicolino Locche

ivan calderon

How many Ko`s does Haye have.. 2? What a dick you are. Can you count? It's not 2. Having fough half as many fights he has over twice the KO percentage of Joe The records are there - live with it. Calzaghe has one of the worst past and present. Haye has 3 knockouts in 22 fights thats 13pc Calzaghe 2 in 44 fights that 2 pc I'm not counting anymore for you. Go and post some more lies about the guy you adore. Big puncher... lol

Your a fan boy, do your own homework, the records speak for themselves. Haye has had half as many fights. Go have a look Ive no time for arguing with the love blind. Calzaghe has one of the worst actual KO records in the sport - fact.

So is David Hayes. your point is? How many KO`s on Mayweathers record? anyone who thinks Calzaghe was a light puncher around late 90s early 2000`s has to be banned. HE DROPPED EUBANK FFS. I'll say it again compair his record of knocking people out. It is worse than any but a very few boxers past and prestent. That is not the mark of a big puncher. The records back me up, fan boy.

Neither has David Haye but because they are TKO you call him Feather fisted? He's knocked twice as many people out in half as many fights. Calzaghe's KO record where the ref is not jumping in is one of the worst in the sport past and present. That is not the mark of a big puncher.

PToney as well, he couldn't even drop Peter. He's a blown up middle weight...:dead:

"Calzaghe" BAN CONTROL??????????????????????? Calzaghe pre 03 had brutal power have some red you dick. Dream on check his actual KO record it's one of the worst in the sport.

Ottke.......

Who Viet, Shieka, Woodall, Brewer? Now name Jones opponents who had never been stopped prior (cab drivers dont count) Calzaghe has never ever put anyone down for ten in a title fight.

Ottke, Pauli and Calzaghe

Sweet Pea also wasn't the hardest of puncher. He dropped De La Hoya. I wouldn't really call him a light puncher. I wouldn't call him a hard puncher either. Anyway, I'm going to go with Malinaggi.

Willie Pep wasn't the strongest of punchers. But unarguably one of the best fixed. Manny Pacquiao (Solis, Barrera, Morales, Diaz and Oscar: All of them says Pac doesn't hit hard) Doesn't necessarily make him a weak puncher though.

Cant believe people are saying Winky he can do damage look at the Trinidad fight

Greb was what I'd call a volume puncher, someone who relied on being able to outwork his opponents, but he must've had some punching power since many of his opponents were badly beaten up at the end of the fight, for example Gene Tunney who said that he had no idea where he was for the last 3-5 rounds of the fight and came very close to being stopped. Griffith was not a big puncher by any means but many of his opponents were bigger than him or known for being nearly impossible to stop. He also admitted that he became a less aggressive fighter after the fatal KO against Benny Paret and never truly looked for the knockout after that fight. Even Whitaker and Pep, never known for their punching power, scored KO's that should keep them out of this list. I mean all these guys were very very good, so they could make guys respect them (they obviously hit hard enough to make the other guy not like getting him by them). Tapping a diamond enough time will crack it though, when I think power I think 1 punch kayo power, and these guys were all amonst the best of all time that really did not have that. To me Lamotta was a very strong fighter, I am sure he could punch decently hard but I would call him more of a strong man then a big puncher. Although anyone trained to hurt someone else with their fist can probably do heavy damage if the situation presented itself (or if they had to). All depends on how you look at it though, because what you say is true.

That is true, Griffith and Greb where the first guy to come into my mind after the usual suspects. If you fall below 20-25% your power is below average, imo. There is a lot of truth in what you say though.

Even Whitaker and Pep, never known for their punching power, scored KO's that should keep them out of this list. Prime Pep knocked out Chalky Wright (HOFer), Sal Bartolo, Jock Leslie, Jackie Graves, Humberto Sierra, Eddie Compo and some other very good fighters.

How the hell would i know? Ask Hopkins. One thing i do know for sure though, is that Joe wasnt backing Hopkins up due to his punching power. Hopkins is a counter puncher anyway. He's rarely the one who pushes the fight. Okay, take Hopkins out of the equation. and just use Calzaghe's 45 other fights. Joe hits hard enough to command centre ring and keep it there, with pitty pat flurries and a solid shot thrown in in the latter part of his career.

I would say that all of them had atleast average punching power despite their KO records. Griffith, Benvenuti, Giardello and Greb fought a very high level of opposition. That is true, Griffith and Greb where the first guy to come into my mind after the usual suspects. If you fall below 20-25% your power is below average, imo. There is a lot of truth in what you say though.

Well why didn't Hopkins take centre ring? It is all about points and Joe is the master of scoring them. If Hopkins would of stayed stationary in the center of the ring Joe would of scored at will. Kessler tried the Center approach and look how that turned out.
