funny that you bring up the jones fight to make your point, because glen landed several similar shots to the one that eventually put roy down during the course of the fight
in other words, no, glen didn't really ko roy with one punch as you suggest, jones had already been punished and battered for 8 rounds
glen is just a decent puncher, his power is not underrated, he's nothing like a pure puncher or a better puncher than what he is perceived to be

as I have said, Glen landed many similar right hands during the fight, and Jones wasn't going nowhere
it was just one right hand too many that he landed in the ninth, the shot wasn't that great either
I don't know where you're going with your thread, but Glen is not a an underrated puncher, he's a decent puncher who usually gets his KOs via workrate, pressure, accumulated punishment

To suggest that he is an average puncher like the equivalent as a SMW/LHW to what Floyd is as a WW is laughable.

Look here at 2:20 against Yusaf Mack how he distracts Mack by putting a few jabs in his view then the straight right hand the same one that ko'd Roy puts Mack down and Glen finishes the job at around 4:00 with the right again.
