Probably you're aware of these -- not perfect, but steps in that general direction:

AFAIK the recent Fight Night demo I tried was doing some driven-ragdoll stuff, in that when your punch is blocked/deflected your arm seems to move aside in a more realistic way. But I don't think it feeds into the character's position though, it's just one-way/graphical :(
