with tiny little gloves everyone has a punchers chance. Even if its not a ko a big shot can completely change the outcome of a fight. I dont think anyone will disagree with you. And there are such things as lucky punches ie a wild shot landing flush on the jaw. These types of finishes should be given less weight in a ranking system if it clearly was a fluke upset. Mir nog for example does not count, because mir landed the same uppercut over and over. But chuck got overrated by tossing wild looping shots that guys walked into.

Uh? There are no such things as accidents, flukes or coincidences just cause and effect (Newton's Third Law:Every Action has an Equal and Opposite Reaction).

I just have to point out that those "wild looping shots" took out many a top contender. It's hard to call them "wild" when they landed with such consistency and devastation. They may have not been pretty or what people say is "good form", but he knew the angle and where he wanted to hit and how hard, which is why he was so effective until the sport started passing him by.
