A punchers chance
A punchers chance is a phrase commonly used in boxing.
There are many fights in which a fighter has just this to win.

Please name me your notable 'punchers chance' wins.
I can't think of many off the top of my head, just some recent ones. Randall bailey KO mike jones. Danny Garcia KO amir khan.

I want to see a good list!

To me, the icon of this phrase is the Chavez vs Taylor I fight.

Some from the recent years:

Rios - Acosta / Alvarado
Arce - Vazquez Jr
Martinez - Chavez Jr (almost LOL)
Segura - Calderon I
Brewster - Klitschko

For me, Chavez Taylor isn't seeing that Chavez was the favourite or the odds for both fighters were pretty close.
A punchers chance is when a fighter has to rely on his punch power solely in order to win. Effective aggression is different.
Foreman Moorer is the best example I've seen.

You have an argument, then, I'd add that the newest punchers chance was the victory of Abregu over Dulorme.
