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

[$partacus]

Calzaghe hit harder in his prime. He knocked down the iron chinned Eubank TWICE.

Twice? thought it was once? He caught Eubank going backwards and he didn't hurt him one bit.

calzaghe had good power in his prime years and could back ppl up with a volume of stinging punches rather than a single punch.

i suppose you could say he has won a world title while still hvaing brittle hands (the WBC, WBA and IBF belts).

paulie, pep, ottke,

Calzaghe comes to mind instantly.

congratulations,you are now a verified idiot.

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.

Joe beats you with workrate, not punching power.

Eubank was knocked down in the 1st round and 10th round.

Calzaghe only dropped Eubank ONCE! Even that's impressive in itself, because Chris Eubank had an iron chin!

Not bad for a 'Slapper'!

But even Eubank said Joe was a good puncher.



I think Eubank can vouch more for that than you.

Then why not just take centre ring then?

also, he did drop Eubank Twice, that came as a surprise I thought it was just the once. I got his dvd.
