Your killin me now. If a guys knocks out 25 cab drivers that u never saw before does that really mean he has power. Winky wright stopped 18 of his first 25 opponents and everybody know he dont have power. But i get what u sayin. If you dont see the fighter fight the fight u dont really know. But when i see a guy with a high ko perentage i dont assume he has power. i just assume that he tries to get guys out of there. U gota remember they dont seperate kos and tkos when they show a record. I mean a guy could have 25 ko but 15 of them was tkos that were built up from accumulation. So that do necessarily mean he has power. U hit a rock long enough and eventually it will crack.
Again if u dont go by KO percentage how do u judge a guys power if u havent actually been hit by him? Especially if u havent seen him much before?
He's lost me completely

I mean even if you want to split hairs and say that a high KO record might just mean he wears them down with an accumulation of punches rather than one punch power I don't see how that makes them less dangerous?

Anyway Torres had 22 KO's in 24 fights going into the Cotto fight. I'm fairly sure when his team looked at him they didn't go 'yeah he looks like a powderpuff, Cotto will be safe with him'
