    why do people think just cause you dont ko your opponents your feather fisted??

    ko's come from aggression..you can have pop and just not overly committ to ko'in your opponent but that doesnt mean you dont have pop..examples-bradley,martinez,kendall holt-you cant sit and watch them fight and tell me they have no pop...

        Martinez's KO ration is misleading I believe. Due to his fighting style and the fact that he doesn't sit on many of his power punches (since he's always on the move), the KO's aren't there. But when he does sit on them, when he puts his weight behind his punches, he can hurt.

          Flag on the play Larry.....

          I wouldn't say agression....let's look at JMM...37KOs....is he agressive..no he is a counter-puncher....looks for openings then connects at the perfect time...

          B-Hop...32KOs....B-Hop even though is nicknamed the Executioner is far from agressive....

          But for the most part...people do have the misconception of low # of KOs = no power. Just means that you better watch your ass before you get taken to boxing 101....

              Holt is a great puncher, Martinez is a pretty good puncher, especially at 54'.

              Bradley is featherfisted.

                KO% can be misleading if it's in the ~45-65% range. Those guys have power it's just hard for them to finish fighters off consistently.

                Malignaggi, Spinks, Calderon are examples where KO% speaks the truth.

                  bradley has no pop. he's almost as bad as malignaggi.

                  martinez average pop, but his punch output isn't great due to his style

                  holt is a big puncher, but he doesn't through enough punches

                    some boxers can make their punches look fast and impressive, but they don't really hurt the opponent. Bradley's like that. He threw wide looping punches his last fight, but they didn't really throw Abregu off balance, unless he lost his feet under him.

                    Guys like Angulo and Chino can fold you with body shots.

                    Malignaggi's a pillow fisted boxer. Bradley's shots LOOK impressive, but when has he recently hurt someone with one of those "OOOMPH" shots to the gut or chin.
