    at the top level of boxing every fighter is skilled, theres never really a ifghter that just relies on power to beat his opponents skills, so i cant think of an example.

    He had good skills but wasn't maestro like Napoles. His power, stamina, endurance, durability were key factors.

    All top fighters especially ATG's or HOF's have tremendous skills. 9/10 Skill beats everything barring some freak physical disadvantage.

    Theres a lot of fighters who had a tremendous power advantage over their opponents. They could simply blow right through them, even if their opponent had better overall boxing skills.

    Rosendo Alvarez
    Vic Darchinian
    Arturro Gatti
    Naseem Hamed
    Felix Trinidad
    Manny Pacquiao
    to name a few somewhat recent guys..

    Would you like me to post the first Brown fight instead?

    I like Norris though. Norris and Jackson are two of my favorite fighters from that time period. One freakish puncher and the other a beautiful combination puncher.

    Power is a skill and usually KO wins are accompanied by sppeed/timing/size/technique
