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

    Wasn’t whyte/browne kind of a one punch KO?

    Might be misremembering.

    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.
