    at 154 agaisnt oscar, i agree with you, even though u were joking.

    wink is a great example.... come to think of it, joe cal's fights agaisnt kessler and bhop are both fights that he literally won by bitchslapping the entire fight... (i know he had to fight like that because of hand issues though)..

      I would say any fighter that won a world title with less than 10 KOs on his record.. Off the top of my head I can think Yuri Foreman, Paul Malignaggi and Sergio Mora

        It's hard to judge because any fighter could just walk through a feather fisted fighters shots and keep punching at him with limited consequence.

        You need to have enough power for the other guy to respect you at least

          yuri and paulie arent A level fighters despite having belts imo. but u are def correct in that they are "accomplished" like i put in the title. could u imagine a foreman kierkland fight? he could get killed....

              It would have to be Chris Byrd. His defence was so good that he didnt need power. His boxing skills and defence was so good that he didnt have to hit his opponents hard to win fights against the likes of David Tua and Evander Holyfield.
              Chris Byrd easily comes to mind he was the primo definition of no power, and at heavyweight he managed to hold the title for quite sometime.

                To be fair he did really hurt Kessler to the body. Against Bhop he really had to shorten up his punches because he wasn't going to hit him all night otherwise.

                I think Calzaghe still had some pop even at the end when he actually committed to a power shot which was never. He was just punching by numbers

                    Winky Wright was undisputed and had less than a 50% KO ratio, thats the definition of no power.

                      Mosley and Trinidad are the only "great" fighters on his resume but he did beat alot of good fighters like Ike Quartey, Bronko McKart (3 times), Sam Soliman, Angel Hernandez. And of course there is some of his losses which really should be wins. He clearly beat Fernando Vargas...
