If Mayweather, Ward, or Whitaker had one punch KO power???

[BUNGALOWS]

they wouldn't have spent so much time developing their boxing skills. they'd be lesser boxers than they are today.


robinson was as talented a pure boxer as these guys and more, but he had one punch power in either hand and one of the best chins ever. as a result he knocked people the hell out, but he was more available to hit. he didn;t work on being a pure boxer exclusively the way these guys have, because he could knock people out.

This man speaks the truth.

You mean like Rigondeaux?

[sicko]

They wouldn't have been as well Rounded of a fighter as they are/was!

[DARKSEID]

Mayweather would have snapped his hands in half already if he had power.

The closest thing I see is a Prime Roy Jones, and No it wasn't fair.

Then they probably wouldn't fight the way they did tbh.

Their styles CONTRIBUTE to their modest power. Having knockout power more than anything natural to a fighter requires commitment to punches. These guys are masters of defense and hitting and not getting hit. That requires evasiveness. Evasiveness oftentimes comes at the expense of power because you rarely fully commit to punches because you might already be in the act of evading the split second your punch is thrown.

Consistently knocking guys out and fighting like Mayweather/Ward/Whitaker don't really go together.

Would it even be fair???

doesn't matter if it was fair or not, what matters is that they consistently fight the best available opposition

Oh

My

God

Someone with a brain in boxingscene, is that possible. Green K. Floyd, Ward, Whitaker with one ko power is IMPOSSIBLE. These guys willingly reduce the power and commitment they put to their punches to stay elusive, be more precise and don't go off balanced like idiots. Many people with one punch ko power are not good defensively because they commit so much to their punches that they get open, off balance and are wide open to counters and then... get destroyed by guys like Ward, Floyd and Whitaker
