    Calzaghe! Anyone who can land as many shots as he landed on Lacy, and not KO him, obviously has no power.

      Ivan Calderon is well on his way though at the rate he is going with six of thirty-two by KO.

            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.
            Even at the end, he still had respectable power.

            In simple terms if he didn't Kessler,Hopkins,Roy Jones and Lacy would have walked through him. Also Sakio Bika would have, he's the most aggressive fighter in the game. At the very top, I feel if you can't gain respect with punches you're ****ed unless you're sweet pea or something, even he hit hard enough to make it sting. Everyone against Calzaghe ends up being walked backwards.

              Calzaghe didn't receive his world title from Lacy tho did he?

                  Calzaghe hit harder in his prime before all the broken hands. He knocked down the iron chinned Eubank TWICE.

                    Pep, Whitaker and Byrd weren't the hardest punchers but even they were able to score more than a couple of impressive knockouts.

                    Rosenbloom on the other hand had only 19 KO's out of nearly 300 fights! The only time he KO'd a world class fighter led to him and his opponent being suspended because everyone thought it was a fix.

                      Calzaghe
                      Calderon
                      Paulie
                      Wlad

                      I hear once Wlad's opponents can't get past the jab, they all purposely drop
