    Duran? Chavez Sr? Toney?

    One that always springs to mind is "Naco" Berrio...

    Others are Jofre, "Chava" Sanchez, Benn, Esparragoza, Napoles & RJJ.

    well but Jones depends which weight class you're talking about, cause at Middleweight and most of Super Middleweight he was known as an explosive puncher it was mainly after his move to LHW that the KO #'s dropped a bit

    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

    Khan may prove to be one... He's never been regarded as a puncher but he HAS gotten a lot stronger over the past 3-4 years and those rapid fire pitapat shots of his early days do actually carry some weight now. Plus that body shot against Maidana was beautiful. Maybe more to do with timing/placement than anything else but even so he is STIL a growning lad.

    Erik Morales' power is underrated. While I think Donaire and Cotto's overrated. Both have benefited from perfectly placed left hooks for most KO wins.
    An empty can is always noisy.

    Sergei Liakhovich and Eddie Chambers both can show some pop at times.

    At the moment Leo Santa Cruz springs to mind, that guy can really hurt you...every time he lands.

    Emile Griffith is another fighter who would fit the bill, the guy only had 23 KO's out of 85 wins but he hit like a truck

    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.
