    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.

    75% of Lopez wins came by KO. I don't recall him ever not getting credit for his power

    Lopez gets more credit for being a quick handed counter puncher and not so much a devastating one punch KO artist, and he had his share of them, IMO he didn't hit as hard as Carbajal but he was pretty damn close
