    Evander Holyfield, he was never the big 1 punch KO artist his peers were but he could put some pop in his punches. (Though he was usually aided by his head)

    Bernard Hopkins, same as Evander.

    Sergio Martinez, though the Williams KO was a big time power punch.

    Felix Sturm, he kept De la Hoya at bay for an entire fight. Marked him up pretty bad too.

    well but he's followed it up by showing he has thudding power, and the KO against Cintron backs it up as well (fuck what the record books say he KTFO Cintron and then won a UD in the same night)

    Remember Rockin Rodney Moore the guy didnt have many KOs then went on a fantastic KO run of fellow contenders.

    Also Herol Graham for a safety first guy , he stopped alot of fighters , just below world level.

    Second to Nunn also showed great power when he starched Sambu Kalambay in 1.

    Light punching Sven Ottka showed power when he KOED Tony Mundine.

    Mike Sprott also not a big puncher 1 punch KOED Fraudley Harrison.

    Agreed about Herol Graham he had the normally very sturdy, Sumbu Kalambay down twice when they met.

    Another one that springs to mind is Luisito Espinosa, his KO percentage was average but look at his KO wins over Gonzalez, McKinney, and tell me that guy couldn't bang.

    I'm gonna say Zab Judah..I think he started out being known for power but was known more for being slick and fast as he progressed (and also invented new ways to get jiggy when being ko'd)...The guy has tremendous power because of his explosive speed. That uppercut and straight left used to be lethal.

    DLH was considered to have explosive power all the way up to 140, good power at 147, then despite having almost all TKO wins at 154 his power started becoming a bit played down, he had good pop but not one punch KO pop
