    Simon Brown-Terry Norris is a good choice. Brown had pretty good skills in his prime, but Norris was overall the more skilled, fluid, and athletic boxer, and also in his prime. Brown was at his best years earlier and a huge underdog.

    Khan is not especially skilled, he has fast hands and a nice jab. What is it with people always overrating people's skills and potential just because they have fast hands? People do the same thing with Broner too.

    I'm not even that big on Canelo, but he is easily more skilled than Khan.

    Many heavyweight (title)fights troughout history. Certainly when the (more) skilled one had a feeble jaw and the opponent was a puncher.
