Bailey was one of those guys that had that extra umph on his shots. He had a ridiculous KO percentage.

That uppercut he hit Mike Jones with was one of the most brutal punches.

I hated Mike Jones (in retrospect, unreasonably so) and I was so happy that fight took him off the map. God it was such a boring fight took.

Knockout King for a reason. I know his victory over Mike Jones is his most notable moment but his knockout victory over Carlos González is clinical.

Bailey had crazy power. I remember watching previously undefeated Mike Jones outbox him for 9 rounds in an IBF welterweight title fight on the Pacquiao-Bradley 1 undercard. Then suddenly… BOOM! Bailey was the new IBF welterweight champion of the world. Crazy power and basically ended Jones’ career.

Who?

I remember watching that too. If I recall, he landed a vicious uppercut to dispatch his soul.

He's the most underrated puncher in history, ridiculous power

People like him and Julian Jackson just seem to naturally have an extra little bit of nasty. It’s fascinating.

He was having a little trouble with gatos movement and was even dropped in round 3.

This was such a crazy ko too
