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

    Who were the weakest punches that still found a way to win boxing gold? All time.

    Malignaggi.

    Hatton showed how easy it was to beat him, primarily because he can't **** at all.

    Someone will say Calzaghe and be wrong.

      Willie Pep wasn't the strongest of punchers.

      But arguably one of the best

                Yer, it's bound to happen isn't it?

                Before Calzaghe's hands went south, he was knocking people out left, right and centre!

                Sven Ottke instantly came to mind. Only six out of thirty-four of his wins were by KO.

                  No one better mention Calzotke because Joe had power when he beat Eubank.
