So far, to my (limited) knowledge, two supposed "KO Punchers" in MMA have attempted to transition to Boxing; Mike Perry, 10-1 10 KO's, knocking guys dead in MMA and of course Conor McGregor.
Both tried Boxing out and seemed to have the power of Pauli Malignaggi.
Are there any other examples and did any of them show any signs of having any punching power?
Paulie wouldn't have got to where he went in boxing with no power. Limited power yes, but not NO power.
No like I said Paulie has NO POWER,ABSOLUTELY NONE
My nephew and his two mates came to my house to watch it so I charged them £5 each :lol1:
Yeah mate English born and bred.
Hahahaha good on ya!! Yeah I'm English born and bred too.
A fiver? I didn't catch on you were English, Dan.

McGregor has average to above average power as a boxer, taken from boxers who have sparred with him.
And yes, there are MMA fighters that punch harder than Malignaggi. On average a boxer will punch harder than an MMA fighter no doubt, but Malignaggi is very weak puncher so it's not inconceivable to think that there are MMA fighters that punch harder than him. Doesn't mean that they would be better boxers.
What the **** is up with the insecurity in this place lately?
I paid £5 pal.
And it was well spent because I liked seeing the MMA guy get battered and stopped by a 40 year old washed up retired non puncher whilst having 20 lbs on him.

Dumbest post in the whole thread. I'm guessing your red re is well deserved. Here, have some more, phaggot.
Glad I was able to get your panties up in a bunch enough for you to show your homophobic side and thanks for the fake internet points :bottle:
Conor has zero power.....he couldnt hurt a guy that was 20 pounds lighter than him, a guy that didnt throw a punch for the first 4 rounds and a guy stationary for the entire fight.
Because he didn't manage to land anything big. You don't have the incredible KO rate Conor has without a great deal of power.
People saying McGregor has no power are retards. He never managed to hit Floyd with a good, hard shot, so you've got no basis for this other than your dumb fanboyism for wanting to put Boxing over MMA.

In fairness, it's not just that mma fighters have feather fists. They also have glass chins.

I agree too, theirs no way I see paulie being able to handle conor imo.
Hard to say because Pauli is shot.
He just got stopped by Sam Eggington.
But then again Eggington would destroy McGregor.
Ok, now tell me this. How does it feel knowing you paid $100 to watch Floyd fight a guy with zero power and very limited boxing skills and who was making their pro boxing debut.
Was it money well spent to you? If so tell me why.

Just curious because i didnt watch that farce of a fight, but was it super obvious that Connor has no boxing punching power or was it that Floyd was able to finesse and use his defense to minimize his power.
Im only asking this as Floyd has faced a lot of punchers throughout his career and was able to neutralize their power in a way with his defense that made their power ineffective. So can it be that Connor does have some good power but that it was neutralize or that he just has nothing?
It was apparent from Round 1 that he has no power what so ever.
As soon as Floyd discovered that he just walked straight to him in a straight line.
Had no respect for his power because he has none. He doesn't even turn over his punches.
Paulie couldnt KO an infant. The there are women in the UFC that hit harder than him
I don't know about that but I do think that Katie Taylor and Nicola Adams probably punch harder than McGregor.
Paulie wouldn't have got to where he went in boxing with no power. Limited power yes, but not NO power.
No paulie got to where his is with great match makers and having such a punchable face everyone want to see him in the ring and its not to see him win
I remember saying that McGregor is probably a slightly harder puncher than Devon Alexander, I don't even know if he's that.
was it Devon that KO'd Juan Urango? I don't recall- I think it was him. I remember an uppercut laying Urango out.
Where's that sparring footage now? ALL of it.
does it even matter now ..given how successful mac gregor was compared to the expectations, i think it's safe to say paulie got his sh1t pushed in vs connor
paulie is a garbage fighter, that's been known like forever
