    I'm not talking about the punch thrown but how the opponent tries to get back up and loses, which one is the MOST iconic of all time?

    To me its Tyson V Douglas, the way Mike is just grabbing at his mouth piece, almost realizing its the last moment he'll ever be IRON MIKE again, its a sad moment but one of the most iconic and powerful knockout moments ever.

    What do you guys think?

    Marciano's KO of Walcott is pretty iconic

    I'd go with Louis destruction of schmeling

    Louis Schmeling is the only answer. No other fight is close to being as important politically and to the world.

    Rocky stopping Drago in the 15th round. The fight that ended the cold war.

    When Sergio KO'd Williams, the way his tall body fell the way it did and how his open eyes stared straight down onto the canvas with all else motionless was just scary. I literally thought he may be dead as he was falling and for the first 5 seconds on the ground.

    No it's only as important to others if you're a Ali fan boy or you just love hyped stuff

    No, its ICONIC. Not just to boxing fans but the whole world wide public. What do you think ICONIC means?? stop trying to be too clever for your own good
