    Simple question. Who has taken the most painful/least desirable legal punch in the history of boxing.

    IMO it almost has to be a body shot. RJJs body shot to hill always brings that thought of "thank god I'm not him".

    Pac vs Hatton
    Kessler vs Green
    Tua vs Ruiz - although there were a few punches in that one.

    Yeah Roy broke Hill's rib with that punch.

    Tua vs Ruiz was almost sickening. His head looked like a rag doll every time Tua landed on him

    The body shot Louis hit Schmeling with in their second fight. My friend's Dad said you could hear Schmeling scream over the radio.

    Good shout - forgot about that one.

    There are so many - Donaire's left hook that KO'd Montiel was a bomb too

    Do you think Paul felt anything?.... I mean he didn't see it at all and was out cold instantly. I'd rather have that than say a punishing shot to the liver.

    Marquez over Pac. One punch KO's asleep like that are rare at smaller weight class. A truly one off punch

    Also Martinez KO punch to Cintron. Cintron couldn't even believe a punch could hurt like that.

    for me, Lebedev over Jones was the hardest to watch

    You beat me to it. Not often shots land like that when a fighter puts everything into it. Not a lucky punch by any means put what a KO.
