    Pacquiao - speed
    Ward - counter punching
    Canelo - power
    D. Garcia - counter punching
    Kovalev - power
    Crawford - power
    Fury - size
    Cotto - body punches
    Mayweather - IV

    Khan would be a top 3 welter if he only had a chin.
    I'd be tough, although I'm little,
    And no one would call me brittle,

    If I only had a CHIN...

          Golovkin wasn't knocking everybody out in the amateurs but he seemed to do just fine without relying on his power there, didn't he?

          His boxing skills are extremely underrated. Not only is he bigger than Canelo, he's better too. Better technique, better balance, better footwork- he's a more complete fighter all round and that comes from his amateur pedigree.

                  Oh man, I thought this was a troll thread but you have an actual world-class level trainer saying it. This beyond ******.

                  Why subtract a fighter's best attribute? Let's take away Mayweather's reflexes. Pacquiao's left hand. Marquez's counter-punching. Hopkin's ring IQ. What are you left with?

                  Again, why would you ask a hypothetical question like this? It makes no sense. The power is there, it is a constant, game-changing menace.

                  This is so ridiculous. Honestly, sometimes this is the dumbest sport in the world.

                    89 punches over 8 rounds isn't getting hit a lot by any stretch of the imagination. 89 is pretty much the peak number of punches he could've landed. Since compubox numbers are always in some way inflated because they can't always see whether a punch was blocked/parried or missed altogether, that stands that he probably landed fewer than 89. That goes for every fight too. Compubox isn't the end all be all obviously, but it's a general barometer of how many punches were "landed."

                      If you take away McGirt's snack tray, what do you have? A less disgustingly fat McGirt.
