    At Which Weight Class Do All The Fighters Have KO Power

    Light heavy? Cruiserweight?

    there is no such thing as a feather fisted heavy.

    beyond a certain size they’re all big enough to have power for kos

    I'd say 175 and above. Any boxer 175lbs or above would throw a hurtful punch if they really sat down on the shot.

    Take Bivol for example. I think his lack of high KO % is mostly down to style and tactics. Hes a brilliant boxer, so why gamble? His opponents have felt enough on his shots to fully understand they cannot try to walk through him. That generally means he could crack a bit if he sits down on his punches with intent.

    I'd say its somewhere around LHW or Cruiser where pretty much everyone has enough size and power to hurt someone.

      Bivol ko ratio was 85% until he stopped sitting down on his shots in the pocket to preserve his hands and prevent head clashes

      I think like Floyd, Biv lacks kos because neither go for the ko. Defensively minded master boxers who rather land 1, take none than land 3, take 1

      They aren’t truly being feather fisted such as Paulie Timmeh and Pernell

        The bigger the fight USUALLY = More power and worse stamina/conditioning.
        The sweet spot divs USUALLY = the more skilled fighters who can avoid GKTFO
