    Not a KO but rather a surprising KD

    Featherfist Barry Jones had only stopped one of his previous 19 opponents and that was on a cut

    The genuinely murderous punching Acelino Freitas was 23-0 (23 KOs)

    Who do you think hit the canvas first?

    Hearns koing Pipino Cuevas was more shocking IMO since Duran was much smaller than Hearns and obviously took the fight for a quick payday with little to no training, whereas Cuevas was the same size and was considered a monster at that moment in time.

    Not the best example. Warrington springs to mind with a non puncher hurting an opponent like when he really had Frampton hurt. He was a fast paced volume puncher who fell in love with the idea of his power. Then tried to trade with Lara..

    Tim Bradley v Brandon Ríos, pretty sure even Bradley said in the lead up to the fight "let's face it, I'm not knocking Brandon Ríos out"

    Fury - Wilder II. People seem to forget that Fury was NOT regarded as a puncher whatsoever. When Wilder said Fury couldn't crack an egg, just about everyone agreed with him whether they thought he would win or not. There really aren't a lot of examples in history of someone regarded as such a soft hitter as Fury going on the front foot KO hunting like he did.

    Sergio Martinez KOing Paul Williams in the second fight. I don't think anyone really saw Martinez as a KO puncher at the time (45 wins with 24 KOs) and Williams usually had an iron chin. One perfect left hand shot from Martinez put Williams lights out.
