NOTE:

Not only did Shane Mosley have an outrageously high number of clean knockouts, he ran off NINE consecutive in his first nine fights.

Nothing new.
Mosley was a massive puncher @135
Hatton has many bums on his record
Cotto has big, heavy hands, but he has no explosive One-Punch
Margarito many bums,
Judah fast hands and good power, speed kills but too small to be a real bug puncher
Mayweather even @ 130 he wasn't a real puncher

So pretty much you are saying we are going to sleep if we face these guys.

I would have come up with something better than that.

If I faced any one of those dudes they would knock me out clean. A fighter should never go by a fighters reputation because everyone said Sweet Pea was feather fisted but I don't think Hurtado would say the same.

Any of those would have me seeing stars, but i'd be more apprehensive fighting Hatton and Cotto.

I concur. Being knocked out doesn't hurt. However, being knocked out by a body shot is one of the worst feelings you can have.

Exactly, being winded by a punch to solar plexus ain't a nice feeling, if the guy doing the punching was a world champion, it would make it 10x worse.
