My views/opinions are different from yours. That doesn't make them atrocious. But your claim is absolutely ludicrous. If the correct punch lands, then it is a game changer. It can happen in any fight at any time. That is why boxing is so exciting. In the Rosario vs Camacho fight, one punch changed a career not just the fight. Also quit shifting goalposts.

Your picking fights as examples where one guy was a known power puncher, are you going to try and suggest that one Punch could have changed Malignaggi/Hatton in Malignaggi favour or Jennings against Cotto.

I'm not moving the goalposts but it's far too simplistic a view to think that one punch can change any fight, it cant

Malignaggi's lack of punch power largely stems from his brittle hands. But I maintain that if he connects on the point of the jaw with a good punch, it could change the game. Ditto Jennings/Cotto. You seem to believe that some boxers are impervious to punches. No one is regardless of the pairing in the ring. Even Ian Napa could flatten his opponent. Thats why boxers defend themselves against powder punchers.

If a punch is thrown right and connects, its a game changer. To think otherwise is incorrect.

It's more of a technical thing with Malignaggi, he's never sat down or turned his hips/wrists/shoulder through punches all that well. Even when fit with decent hands he struggled to make a dent in a boiled egg.

Stephen Foster got put down more than once recently by a powder puff puncher though (in terms of KO %), even if these little guys whacked any one of us we'd probably go down like a sack of shi'ite

The point is Napa and Malignaggi don't they do they, so i'm hardly going to factor in a knockout victory for either in any fight they have

Didn't Malignaggi stop his last opponent?

Surely it is POSSIBLE for one punch to change everything in every fight. But in reality it is not going to happen in every fight.

If a boxer is still throwing decent powerful shots and lands one clean, that could easily change the fight regardless of how much of a pasting he was taking.

You've hit the nail on the head, there is the POSSIBILITY in every single fight of one punching changing everything. Therefore EVERY fight can be swung by one punch, naturally it doesn't happy in every fight but the possibility is ALWAYS there!
