Overrated Big Punchers?

[TheGreatA]

I recall a conversation on here recently about Corrie Sanders' power being overrated and after watching what few fights of his there is on youtube I tend to agree, though it is not the most well-informed opinion.

I've heard people say he hit harder than Tua (because he KO'd Wladimir) so I definitely agree with you there. His best knockouts other than the KO over Wladimir were over former cruiserweights, light heavyweights and middleweights.

I think it's the combination of the southpaw stance and his speed along with his power that made him dangerous.

Terry Norris - during his reign, he looks scary with his punching power, but the record doesnt show, when he fought Simon Brown, he only had 22 KOs out of 36 wins.

Ricardo Mayorga - other than his TKO3 victory over Vernon Forrest (RIP), he cant backed his talk about knocking this guy or that, but I give him credit for putting down Fernando Vargas twice.

David Tua
Earnie Shavers

Tua caught Ruiz "cold" when Ruiz was a novice fighter, he also caught Moorer when Moorer was an old hasbeen...

Shavers... who did he ever knock out other than old Norton who Cooney nearly killed..

Tua also caught Maskaev , izon , oquendo , obed sullivan and dannell nicholson "cold".
he is the quickest stoppage loss on many of his opponent's resume.
never really lost comprehensively.
only lewis outpointed him in a fashion i can see as not robbery.
