    Decent list but a few guys could be switched for each other. Abraham should be on the list for sure IMO.

      Nobody.

      Barrera took his best for 23 rounds.

      Morales did for 25 rounds.

      Marquez did for 24 rounds.

      Oscar did for 8 rounds.

      If anything Pacquiao (much like Pavlik, who is also on the list) is a "wear you down" type of fighter.

      Not a big puncher at all.

      Not in league with guys like Wladimir, Vitali, Valero, Darchinyan, and Lopez, anyway.

      At least not in my opinion.
      I was thinking the same thing. Vitali isn't much of a big puncher either, he wears fighters down. Edison Miranda, Randell Bailey and Aurther Abraham would make my list before Vitali, Cotto, or Pac.

        I agree but only on 126 and above. Below, no ... because I saw him losing his way on several fights but would land just 1 punch and the tide would be turned on his favor.

        But I think he is heavy handed plus the accumulation of punches leading to the KO is due to the sheer volume of power punches released in a short time.

        I was hoping Tua would be included.

            That list is garbage if you are going to consider the real power punchers.

            1.Darchyania
            2.Juanma
            3.Valero
            4.Vitaly
            5.Torres
            6.Maidana.
            7.Pavlik
            8.Miranda
            9.Abraham
            10.Adamek
            11.Balley
            12.Cintron

            Pacquiao nor Cotto should be there really!!!

              Good list. I would take out Vitali & Darchinyan and add in Ricardo Torres though.

                That is a good list if we are talking exclusively about 1 punch ko power, Would mention Haye and Wlad though.

                    I think they're only discussing current power punchers.

                    Otherwise Tommy would definitely make that list.

                      I wouldn't say Cotto, Pac or Kessler have unnatural power.
