Top Welterweights today won't even reach 20 KOs

[Emon723]

Not counting Mayweather and Pacquiao, the rest of the top welterweights at present may finish their careers not even reaching 20 knockouts in their record.

Bradley - only 12 KOs in 31 wins
Khan - will make his 147 debut, 19 KOs in 28 wins, Khan has a bigger name and potential fights with rival Kell Brook and Adrien Broner is in the horizon if he can't get Mayweather, and I doubt if Khan can score a KO victory, his last two fights at 140 went the distance.
Porter - only 15 KOs in 24 wins
Alexander - only 14 KOs in 25 wins
Danny Garcia (soon to be WW) only 16 KOs in 28 wins.

Only Maidana, Thurman, Brook, Broner and Abregu had a better KO percentage, gone are the days when the welterweight champions and contenders had a fearsome Knockout record, and unless they fight bums and stiffs to pad their wins, which are not the case today when boxers aren't too busy fighting every year.

Golden boy signing most of the worlds top welterweights mean the best are more likely to fight the best. It's very difficult to knock a fighter out on the elite, world-class level.

Gone are the days of andre berto knocking out a string of nobody's on HBO for 1.5 million dollars apiece.

Speaking of Berto, the last two who beat him, Karass and Guerrero, along with another Berto opponent, Luis Collazo, all in their early 30s (and all with only 18 KOs) in still in contention in the welterweight division, also had a not-so-impressive Knockout ratio.

Do we miss Berto and Victor Ortiz, LOL.

I think that's because Karass and Collazo were done no favours on their way up and were not as sheltered to look sensational like Ortiz or Berto.
