Punchers who just had a superior fighter's number

Barkley vs Hearns - springs to my mind immediatly

 

Shavers was 1-0-1 against Young, many feel Young deserved a win in their second fight however.

Barkley/Hearns is the boring generic answer, of course.

Carl Thompson beat a blown up Eubank twice, though those really aren't terrible wins because Eubank wasn't terribly old and down at even SMW was one of the biggest weight drainers ever.

 

Mayorga vs Forrest. In my mind, Forrest still has all the attributes to beat him. Somwhow, he just couldn't.

 

My girlfriends versus me, I managed to outland them, backen up their eyes, bust up their noses, generally outpoint them but in the end they ko'd me, what can I say I gave it my best

Also Shavers-Norton, Sanders-Wlad, Prescot-Khan

 

Why's that funny?

 

Although he was robbed of the official decision both times, I've always felt that George Chaplin had Greg Page's number in head to head competition, especially after their rematch, when one might have expected Greg to really be after Chaplin to make amends for that first poor showing.

 

Because its generic and redundant, and before I ever had replied saying it was generic before seeing your post, bam someone had posted it.

 

Oleg Maskaev against Hasim Rahman as well. Rahman certainly accomplished more though I don't know if he'd be considered a "better" fighter then Maskaev.

 

Pep vs Saddler could count, although it wasn't really Saddler's punch that won the fights, more his ugly mauling style. Although he took Pep out in the first match.

 

Also, Samuel Peter against James Toney. :---(

 

Not that funny though.

Its a really good example for this thread. Barkley used his power - basically that's all he used - to defeat a far superior fighter. Which the thread asks for.
