It’s easier to KO lower level. When a lot are up, the rate of KO wins tends to decrease..

Doesn’t mean the power isn’t there.. just fighting more durable opponents and though who come to actually win.

If he was knocking guys down and getting stoppages he isn’t light hitting

No way. He was a puncher before his hand problems. Look how honest he kept Canelo years into his serious hand issues, which started giving him trouble after Carlos Hernandez.

Burns looked like Julian Jackson in comparison to Jones. He smashed Mitchell and Cardle to bits, he wasn't a puncher but "lightest hitting", not a chance.

I'm sure it's Terry Marsh who said he never knocked out anyone amateur or pro. He did stop boxers but never KO'd anyone
My manager claims he fought him as an amateur when he was in the Royal Navy. Marsh outscored him in 3 bouts.

Spinks Mayorga was a fun fight, I remember staying up to watch that one back in the day. Always thought that dude was a good example of 'made the most of the talent he had'. Wins over Mayorga, Judah, Karmazin at light middle, as well as giving Jermain Taylor fits at middleweight. A different set of judges away from being unified champ in two weight divisions (although I personally think Taylor just about deserved it). Not bad for a guy with zero power.

His win over Mayorga was superb. Brilliant boxer on his game.

If you talking about any era then 'Slapsie' Maxie Rosenbloom only had 19 stoppages in 207 wins.
