hell people on here think whitaker couldnt punch..thats laughable

He wasn't a puncher imo, but he could punch when he wanted to, he put Haugen on his ass, beat Hurtado senseless, almost knocked Roger Mayweather out in two rounds or something, he also had Gary Jacobs all over the place in the late rounds.

Yeah, Hurtado.

Yeah, Hurtado.

**** was brutal....lol..no feather fisted puncher could do that

I agree.

If Floyd let his hands got more often, some of his opponents would've been stopped due to high accumulating punches without answering back.

It was man Lol, much frustration right there of how the fight was going.

I bet Mayweather would hit a lot harder if he fought more flat footed, but he spends more of his time on the balls of his feet (not a criticism), as its easier for him to use his legs, disengage the opponent that way.

Yeah me to, I encourage any fighter to fight on the balls of their feet, the best way to fight is to be defensive and use your legs, dont make it a contact fight if you can help it.

You know that American kid Danny Garcia? I think he gets hit too much cause he fights too flat footed, tries to grip the canvas too much looking for power.

Also, have you noticed how much harder it is to react when you clench your fists in the gloves? its seems to make you shoulders tight, where as when you fight more with an open hand, makes it easier to react, although when you counter, you obviously dont have the same power.

Pure one punch KO artists are actually very rare. You can count them on one hand.

Most KO ratio's are not indicative of a fighters actual punch power, but more determined by their fighting style or punch commitment.
