    This mostly applies to light-punching fighters swarming the power punchers . What are some examples of a fighter, who isn't known for their power and having average KO percentage, being able to overwhelm the much bigger knockout puncher with an accumulation of punishment to the point of one-sided decision win or stopping them? There's been plenty of examples over the years with swarmers besting the KO artists.

    Tyson Fury stopping Wilder is an obvious one. What else?

    Tyson fury is much larger than Wilder. He's got 50 pounds and 5 inches of reach on him. Your not going to find many fights that are similar.

    To your point

    Ali v foreman
    Ali v Frazier
    Ali v shavers
    Holmes v shavers
    Holyfield vTyson
    Holyfied v bowe

    I was stunned when the strong but light-punching Gianfranco Rosi KO'd The Kronk's hard-hitting Duane Thomas.

    Ali over Foreman. Ali beat him to the punch so often it was ridiculous. Foreman himself was obviously freeked out by his accuracy.

    Though I love both fighters, Ali dominated George in Zaire from round 1 on. I never thought Foreman was really a significant factor in the fight, he looked loopy, wild, and fumbly. It was a masterful, ingenious performance by both Ali and Dundee.

    I for one would hesitate to call Dick Tiger a light puncher

    I understood that Louis, Mayweather and Hagler were respectable punchers!

    Tiger was a hard puncher but was not really a one punch power kind of guy. He had like a 40% ko rate and most of those ko's came from wearing guys down. Lamotta was similar in that he could hurt you but never really knocked guys cold. He would wear them down.
