What happened to all the KO artists?

[Viciousz]

we still have guys that can ****


but there are no Julian Jackson's or Terry Norrises walkin in the arena anytime soon

Exactly what I'm trying to get at. None of the guys right now with the exception of bailey and maybe Lemeiux if he keeps it up have the power they did back then.

Its sad theres no knockouts at HW now. So easy for those big guys to K.O eachother yet most fights go the distance.

arthur abraham can knock anyone out 160-175 out with one punch.

Agree, Abraham is every bit a highlight KO artist as Jackson or McClellan was. He can one shot everyone.

Abraham and Maidana come to mind

There are plenty of guys with one punch power
Klitschko, Haye, Mosley, Maidana, Abraham, Pavlik etc

although i agree we don't see as many one punch KOs anymore, most seem to win by accumulation of punches

prince naseem was known as a k.o artist....

Arthur Abraham is only one that comes to mind, and its' funny I was just thinking about this the other day

Hearns was no KO artist. I've watched about say 75% of his career fights and his fights often went the distance and were kinda boring.

yeah, bad example on my part but the guy could've been a KO artist but he was trained to be more of a boxer...


Many Steward is doing the same thing with Wlad, the dude can be knocking these guys out clean if he wanted to but instead he breaks them down in boring fashion...

Yeah Hearns had a good pop in his right hand but it was after softening up his opponents with a jab and left to the body. In the case of Wlad and Hearns too Steward has done a good job in making them protect their chins with their piston-like jabs.
