Who hits Harder? Manny, Miguel or Shane?

[Rome-By-Ko]

That's an interesting opinion. I would have loved to see Mosley vs Tito, after he beat Oscar the first time. Mosley's got a great chin, don't know if it would have stood up to Tito's hooks in a standup fight.

I think a young Mosley would give Tito movement and in and out combos..TBH I think Tito was a better boxer then he gets credit for..I just think in the battle of the chins Mosley would have the major advantage..He would never have been the same after a fight with Tito tho IMO...

Interesting, I can see that outcome. The Shane that fought Oscar could have given Tito problems, provided he didn't get lured into a stand up shootout with with the Boricua Bomber. It's one of the great matchups, that never happened.

Shane Mosley

[BennyST]

Miguel decisions Shane

Margarito TKOs Miguel

Shane TKOs Margarito

Manny TKOs Miguel

What can be gathered from these four fights?

That Cotto has poor defense and no stamina? Margarito has even worse, but good stamina and Mosley is old but hits hard?

The One with the highest percentage of KO wins

That will not always show the better puncher.

Manny doesn't often win fights on his power alone. It's his speed and footwork that wins it for him. Even without his power he'd still be good. Margarito isn't that strong a puncher, ok but not great, but his stamina and volume means he knocks guys out a fair bit.

Mosley on the other hand definitely packs a big punch. He's won fights on nothing but that. If he can't get his power in, especially now, he could likely lose.

Power is funny because they are too many factors that people look at.

Roberto Duran is a classic example. He wasn't a great puncher. Very good, but not great. It was his technique, combinations, speed and counter punching that got all the KO's. When he moved up he struggled to knock guys out and it was usually due to an accumulation, even at LW and below before finishing with a perfectly placed counter punch.

Julian Jackson is a guy with pure power. Could be outboxed but with one single punch completely blitz his guy.

KO ratios should be separated between Knockouts and TKOs/Stoppages.

LOL, Manny does have the bigger calves, and that does contribute to punching power, but he's the smallest man of the three. P4P I agree that he's the harder puncher, but when considering raw punching power, I got to go with the power boxer, Sugar Shane Mosley.
