Prescott
Miranda
Urango
Zuniga
Ricardo Torres
Berrio

And they all have one thing in common besides having "a little" pop!!! Questionable chins, especially Ricardo Torres and Breidis Prescott. Damn I think thats why Torres retired, or semi-retired, or whatever he did, because he got knocked down and out too many times.

Why do Honkeys, Caucasians hit so hard???

Tommy Morrison
Kelly Pavlik
Gerry Cooney
Jerry Quarry
Ricky Hatton
Joe Calzaghe (Before his hands turned to brittle) Good KO percentage before that.
Andy Lee

See, you can pretty much ask that question with every race and country.

Add Antonio Pitalua and Epifanio Mendoza to that list. I've always wondered why this country produced so many big punchers. I think it's because they have a very basic understanding of the sport, they think it's all about knocking your opponent out so the fighters who make it to the top are the ones who hit the hardest.

Tommy Morrison Scottish
Kelly Pavlik
Gerry Cooney- Irish
Jerry Quarry -Irish
Ricky Hatton
Joe Calzaghe-Italian not white and welsh (Before his hands turned to brittle) Good KO percentage before that.
Andy Lee -Irish

Better question would be why do Irishman hit so hard.

What about Argentinians?

Argentinians either are really strong punchers (Matthysee, Maidana, Monzon) or are really featherfisted (Lazarte, Cuenca, Locche)

Calzaghe is the patron saint of early stoppages.

KO percentage means nothing by itself.

Because they usually fight guys with poor punch resistance~, they can all punch pretty good though, I would put it down to there not being many good trainers in Columbia so the guys that make it out tend to be the guys that are the better punchers.

i would say this


also, many of the fleet guys are going to be soccer players over there. that's where the money and the glory can be found.

you probably head to the boxing ring if you're a brute.

It's funny everyone uses the Calzaghe stereotype of early stoppages or paper hands when he used to be a very powerful puncher. I think it's a testament to him that he managed to overcome his hand problems, adapted his style and still went all the way.
