        Never a power puncher, he’s a good puncher with good technique that’s about it.

          Are you talking about Jack? If you are, what makes you say that?
          If you're talking about Stevenson though then I'd probably agree.

            I mean, he stopped Cleverly in his 1st fight at 175, and made DeGale look like this


            If that's what a fighter can do without power, I don't even wanna see what a fighter can do with power. On a serious note, it's not like I called him a knockout artist or anything. I just said he has power.

            Hence, why I said that was the only good reason I could think of.

              Cleverly? Lol. Did you see what Kovalev did to Cleverly when Kovalev was still green and Cleverly wasn't shot yet?
              Also lol @ bringing up degale because Jack couldn't beat him, but that no name guy managed to beat Degale in his next fight.

              If you haven't noticed, nobody knows WTF you are talking about with the "power" thing. Jack isn't a powerful guy.

              And, if that wasn't enough, I'll quote this one for good measure;
              (Bute, lol)

                Kovalev's a knockout artist; Jack isn't. Not only that, but Jack hadn't fought at 175 before, while Kovalev's a career lhw.

                Jack knocked him down, and made him look like a zombie. Truax fought DeGale coming directly off of him having went life & death against Jack.

                When did I ever call Jack powerful? Someone like Kovalev is a powerful fighter. I just said he has power. Why do you seem so irritated?

                    I don’t get that too, I have read like three threads now where Jack is supposed to be this monster. The jack I saw this morning is the exact Jack that I know, nothing more, nothing less. Not sure where people were getting this extra talented Jack from. Maybe they have never seen him fight before, or maybe they basically associate every TMT boxer to Mayweather sort of talent.
