    Doesn't seem to happen. Power punches nowadays seem like calculated power punchers but not 1 shot ko artists? Any still out there?

    Whyte dominated that fight anyone and Browne took a lot of damage already. I think the author means more or less equal fights where one punch finishes it. Canelo - Khan is the most recent example that comes to my mind.

    Yeah. I guess was thinking along the lines of Browne being totally conscious and steady before the punch, to lights out after.

    Canelo/Khan is a good one though.

    Pacquiao/Marquez another good one, not that many years ago. Out of nowhere and looked like it killed him.

    Watch more Boxing, there is loads of them about, you hoping to see the best fighters doing it at the top its not common cuz they are the best fighters at the top and have a good defence.
