Ugh. If the FIRST punch can be fatal, can the SECOND? I only ask that because contrary to the experts, YOU know he wasn't hurt at all. So at what point does it BECOME self-defense? When you're too incapacitated to respond? That could be the SECOND punch and then YOU'RE the dead one.
I don't know of a single person who would NOT feel threatened if someone punched them and then climbed on top of them. He wasn't on top of him to make sure he was ok. He was on top of him to cause further harm. And as YOU said, the VERY NEXT punch could have killed him. You're not going to take your chances that the cops are only a couple of minutes away, and how do you know the guy himself doesn't have a gun or a knife??
You're in a vulnerable position in a confrontation with someone that has already demonstrated their willingness to do you harm. That is the reason it's CLEARLY self-defense. It's a no-brainer.
