What happened to all the KO artists?

[killacash]

Antonio Pitalua is a one punch ko guy. Abraham does have one punch ko power but he doesn't use it early. He rather look ****** by wasting time blocking and looking for openings that might not come.

Pacquiao does not have one punch ko power. A one punch ko' artist isn't defined by one fight. Youtube Julian Jackson and see the condition he leaves his opponents off one punch in MANY fights. Maidana doesn't possess that power either.

Back in the 90's you had loads of knockout artists. Felix Trinidad, Oscar De La Hoya, Ricardo Lopez, Mike Tyson, Roy Jones Jr etc etc. Maybe it's just a development that fighters have seen the effects of taking too much punishment and are becoming more smart as a result.

This is proberbly good for boxing as a whole but there are people who just love violence and it turns them off boxing. So they go and become UFC/MMA fans instead. Not that I have anything against UFC but boxing will always be my favorite sport. Right now the only one punch knockout artists are Marcos Maidana and Randall Bailey. But to be honest id rather watch a skillfull fighter without serious KO power like Mayweather or Mijares than watch a one dimensional guy with a really powerful right hand and not much else like Randall Bailey.

Edwin Valero had the Tyson Foreman Roy Jones Julian Jackson type of power.

The best power now is a cruiser or light heavy Tomasz Adamek

Gamboa is the most exciting at the moment, in my opinion. I did not see his last fight against Barros, which did go to the cards, but the fights before (Mtagwa, Garcia,...) were all spectacular and proved his spectacular power. Salido will be a good test and from then on it's at least one megafight in 2011, I guess. Juanma or Caballero.

pacquaio had one punch ko power in the lower weight. Its amazing pacquaio still has serious power at 147.
