They all have very decent knockout percentages.

Curtis Stevens is a big puncher based on what?
I know HBO hyped him up before the GGG fight
But letโ€™s be honest, heโ€™s just an average fighter.

Lemieux is a decent puncher but who has he knocked out?
Three of his last six fights have gone the distance.

Jacobs punches hard than both Lemieux and Stevens IMO

Canelo has barely beaten the good names on your list with help from hometown judges and cheating at the weight.
Of course, heโ€™s beaten the better fighters at 160
Heโ€™s spent his whole career at middleweight.

However, Alvarez beat Cotto, who beat Martinez
Who was the Middleweight champion of the world.

I donโ€™t think Alvarez has ever cheated or been gifted a win
The Lara fight was close but so was the Jacobs fight for GGG.
Kirkland, Cotto, Cintron and Angulo are all welterweight/junior middleweights, and when they faced Canelo, other than Cotto, they were (less than) shades of their former selves. And Cotto hasn't been known as a puncher at that weight. So, no they all have were well picked opponents for Canelo.
Canelo's big wins were against Trout and Lara. And those are solid wins.

What they say about punching power is the better puncher in a fight is the guy who can take the other guys' power more. With that said, who do you think can take each other's punches better here?
