    by very heavy you mean seven pounds heavier on a guy 6'5" so completely negligible.

    Several examples being listed are naming legit decade-long-ranked fighters as having only a "puncher's chance." Kinda silly.

    Maidana didn't have just a puncher's chance against Khan. He almost won the fight on points via the manner in which it was possible for him to win without a mere lucky punch. Prescott having a puncher's chance against Khan is much more fair to say, but even then, Khan was just a young'n. Sanders was a high ranked proven fighter who had more than a puncher's chance. He could have waited for Wlad to blow his wad and forced a stoppage ala Purrity. He could have caused problems from southpaw, buzzed him a bit, and spoiled his way to a close fight without the "lucky punch" of a puncher's chance.

    I guess "puncher's chance" is just a way to say "big underdog who has power."

    Honestly the majority of his higher level fights, he was behind on the
    cards and caught lightning in a bottle

    I thinks it's more the way he carried the weight, looked out of shape. Almost everybody acknowledgea that Lewis took the first fight lightly.

    Thompson vs rice in the first fight, seriously how could Pricey struggle so much against a out of shape past it gimme opponent.

    Ishida vs Kirkland. That still holds up, Kirkland even with his chin still showed he can take a punch in the Angulo fight and this was after Ishida.

    Chavez Jr almsot pulled it off against Martinez. Joe Smith vs Hopkins.
