    Yes. Clinch a lot. Do work from distance and turn him. If he is good enough to get inside? GRAB. It only takes one punch to end the fight but you will be working on stopping him coming in NUMEROUS times by turning him. You are bound to mess up or he may adjust. If he gets in? GRAB!

    Feint too.

    with your chin hahaha

    dont let him set his feet if he is a power puncher most likely he will need to set to land power. Keep moving and box him on the outside and hands up...

    Move in and out working the body early on. If he is using a textbook guard to cover his chin land some big ish shots to his sholders and biceps this should take some impact out of his blows for a whilst.

    Most punchers lose they're power if you can force them on the back foot. The problem being, walking them down leads to you adding your onward movement to the weight of their punches.

    I'd say the best way is to keep them on the back foot. I sparred with a few big punchers. One in particular who beat a world champion- and once he was on the back foot he was ineffective.

    Then its down to the puncher to create openings and move more intelligently then you.

    Stick that jab in his face and keep him off balance, and don't give him a chance to load up.

    Pressure. I don't know too many guys who can hit hard while backing up. trust me, he is used to guys trying to stick and move with him. Get inside his power and push him around. Easier said than done, but if you try to dance with him he will likely find you sooner or later.
