Can anyone name a single division where two top 5 fighters are getting rocked/dropped by fighters with Sub 30% KO rates? Journeymen level fighters no less.
Jacobs, rocked/dropped badly by Mora, 26% ko rate
Lemieux, recently rocked by Rios 19% ko rate
I personally can't think of any other division like it, it's pretty insane if you think about it. It's doesn't even happen at HW and those guys all have KO power same with cruiser and lhw.
Yes, here are some members of the baltimore open silver division.
It is very comparable to the world middleweight division in terms of depth and skill level. The only difference is the weight really and that its local. http://ufpnews.com//wp-content/uploads/2016/08/cabbie-english.jpg
Thurman almost got dropped by collazo who's washed up and not ranked. I can name many other times where unranked fighters hurt top 5 fighters. Unranked Herrera clearly beat garcia as well and was robbed. Joe smith jr at the time was unranked and koed fonfara a top 10 lhw.
Collazo still hits harder than those guys 44% KO ratio and is a former champion.
Smith was 22-1 with a 79% KO ratio, and proved himself yet again against Hopkins.
Herrera arguably won a lot of fights, he was underrated. His resume is solid and he's a natural jmw, like Mora.
Don't forget, Sergio Mora is a blown up jmw, even worse. Rios, you can just tell by his skill set he seriously lacks polish and is a journeyman.

Reaching really hard with collazo almost dropping Thurman, he landed some power shots but in no point in that fight was Thurman almost dropped stop it.
8:57 in he gets rocked by a clean left and stumbles back to the ropes, Rios couldn't miss with his left that fight.
Even at the end of round 3 11:57 Rios lands a clean left, Lemieux looks like he's a bit hurt again as he hops back.

Nice try Golovkin hater.
Light Heavyweight Kovalev, Ward and Stevenson all have been down by Boone who has a 24% KO ratio.
Blake Caparello 30% KO ratio has knocked down Kovalev.
stevenson ward kov...all have fought at least 4 top ten fighters..jacobs...2...THEY ALL HAVE FOUGHT AT LEAST 7 TOP 20 FIGHTERS...JACOBS...JUST 2...UM
have you forgotten about 122 where the number 1 man in that division who is supposedly untouchable has been getting rocked and dropped by nobodies and japanese fisherman since forever.cant forget about 168 where one of the belt holders was knocked the fuk by a journeyman or 130 where uchiyama was knocked out by a light hitting opponent in corrales.this is boxing you clown anybody can get dropped/hurt.
i could blow these excuses out of the water..let;s keep it reall jacobs doesnt fight top guys for a reason..
the respect for uchiyama rigo type guys poops on jacobs my goodness just sad for u even to go there...i know the question only made one point but wat corrales level opponent has jacobs fought even in his dreams?
if u havent seen corrales u might be missing something wild and special..
and lord rigo fought a giant and broke his face after being knocked down...how many framptons and cruz's ducked jacobs..lol...pathetic attempt to save that ordinary division
Lemeiux rocked by rios? He was never even in danger or dropped. WTF LOL. What a terrible effort at trolling. Visit sugarkainehook for lessons.

Heavyweight.
Deontay Wilder was dropped by Dustin Nichols (4-10, 29% KO ratio) and Harold Sconiers (8-27-2, 23% KO ratio).
Tyson Fury was knocked down by the much smaller Steve Cunningham.
That kind of blows your statement that top middleweights have weaker chins than other weight classes all to hell.
I said current top 5 fighter in the division. Fighters get dropped and struggle all the time when they're new, Wilder, Ward, Stevenson, Kovalev, etc. weren't anywhere near top 5 of the division let alone top 50 when they were getting rocked/dropped. Fury too, but considering it was from a HW, it's more understandable, every 200lb+ man can punch.
So far I think 1 person has come up with a fighter from 118?
btw Caparello didn't drop Kovalev, he fell down when Cap stepped on his shoe, Kovalev has only been down legitimately against Boone early in his career. Boone's KO % is also skewed as he fights short rounds and does have as many losses as he does wins.
Murray is another former top 5 160lber, really struggled against an unknown blown up jmw.

In the case of Boone he is like Randall Bailey in a way he has knockout power but he looses most of his fights and he fights mostly 4-6-8 rd bouts on short notice. So his ko % is a little bit skewed.

I ain't the biggest ggg fan whatsoever, and I know 160 isn't anywhere near the best division. With that, you gotta take the Jacobs knockdown and see that he was going in wild and got clipped. Still came back and won the fight. Lemieux, to me, has never been anything special so IDK why anyone on here even tries to rate him.
Jacobs, since the first Mora fight, ended all that speculation that Mora hurt or whatever the talk of the town is on this board. Look at the WW division.. Vargas almost had Bradley out on his feet.
Look at 168.. Arguably the 2 best fighters are going at it in the next couple weeks and both have lost. One got his lights put out, the other lost to a guy who got sparked by a now retired fighter in Froch.
