Chinny fighters that outboxed KO artists over 12/15 rounds?

Lennox v Tua

Lennox was considered chinny during his day, but looking back at when he was actually hurt and KO'd I think he has a far better chin than he's given credit for. The flaw in Lennox's game that I think is the biggest is that at times he was LAZY...he apparently wasn't often lazy in training but in the ring, during the fight....look at the Bruno fight, it's like he wasn't even trying until he touched Frank and hurt him, then he tasted blood and went for the kill. He was lazy vs Shannon Briggs and should have had a knockdown scored against him, but he got his mind right and just blasted Shannon all night.

Chris Byrd Vs. David Tua

Chris Byrd Vs. David Tua

Chris Byrd was NOT chinny! I mean he took some hellacious shots in his career and was still standing, he lasted 11 with Vitali, 12 with Wlad the first time, got BLASTED by Ibeabuchi, took big punches from Tua, etc etc.....he didn't have a glass chin, he just couldn't punch worth shit

[No Contest]

Well if Lennox Lewis is chinny than Chris Byrd is Glass Joe.... He looked like a 2 dollar suitcase flapping in the wind vs George. Povetkin slapped him around pretty good too.

He was weight drained vs George and just plain old vs Povetkin

When you say KO artist how high of a KO ratio are you talking about?
Or can you define KO artist a bit more in your perspective.

I ask because I would consider Canizales a KO artist...

To me a KO artist is a boxer with like a 60% and higher ratio. But there are exceptions. There's a handfull of KO artist who I'm certain have more of a 50% ratio and yet they fall into this category.

Patterson vs. Chuvalo
Fraizer vs. Bonavena
Cintron vs. Angulo
Zab vs. Matthysse

I think Peter-Klitschko I is a good example Fenster. In the buildup to that fight, it was definitely a boxer vs crude puncher deal and they fought like that too. At the time, Peter was the hardest puncher in the division. Wlad fought like it too. I don't think that's a bad example at all.

Also, I know this thread is a prelude to the Khan-Maidana fight but Khan is a decent puncher himself and don't forget that Ortiz put him down 3 times and Corley had him on queer street. I know he's a big puncher but I'm just not sure this guy has the skillset to actually find Khan's chin without his getting found out first. I think Khan has an equally good shot at a TKO/KO win then he does at a decision win. I would bet on either of those results before I would bet on a Maidana win too.

Ortiz fought a very stupid fight against Maidana. He knocked him down early and then got dragged into a total firefight. I forget which fight it was that was canceled which forced Ortiz into main billing in the Staples Center on HBO but I definitely think the pressure got to him. In a rematch, I would pick Ortiz to win. Roach won't let Khan get suckered into that type of fight, or anything remotely resembling it. I forgot just how foolish Ortiz was for fighting that type of fight but I think he was just overly nervous and got tricked into thinking he could bomb Maidana out. If he went at him the way he went at Nate Campbell, it would've been a different result.

I would pick Ortiz, Peterson and Khan to all handle Maidana on Saturday if they stayed disciplined but all could potentially get sparked. I think it would be cool if they had the winners and losers of each fight fight each other. It would go Khan-Peterson and Ortiz-Maidana imo.

B level Darrell woods making it against Samuel miller suprised. Mo Harris over Jeremy Williams. Thought Regillio Turr would surely get Calvin grove but no.
