    You can base this off of the eye test or accomplishments in ring. I'm asking for a friend who wanted examples of a "puncher's chance" where the better boxer is knocked out.

    Probably the prime example, right here. Herol Graham (elusive and with silky skills, but with a glass jaw) vs thunder-fisted Julian Jackson. Graham, in complete control but shipping shots here and there, gets laid out by a monstrous right hand:

    A very recent example of this would be Jarrett Hurd, down on the cards after 6 rounds but with opponent Tony Harrison rapidly tiring, he uses his superior size, stamina, and power to walk down and bomb out Harrison.

    You could arguably include Chad Dawson vs Adonis Stevenson in this discussion, too.

    Good picks with the exception of Khan vs Canelo. Canelo is clearly the more skilled fighter.

    Yup and your guess is right on why he is asking, lol. Even still, I wanted to give him examples but I will also explain how unlikely it is to happen lol.
