Not that its the best... but being ringside when Wlad hit Pulev with the huge right hand with full follow through I think round 3 or 5. It sounded and felt like a bomb went off
Probably the Lewis - Klitschko shot. I'm amazed they never had to sew his head back onto his shoulders after that. He took it cold, too, no fancy rolling with the punch business either. Hearn's atom bomb on Hagler deserves a mention too. I see very few MW's surviving that punch. Hearn's hand sure didn't.
wlad vs mercer in the 5th or 6th round. a straight with fast moving body. mercer took it like a boss. wlad planted both his feet and fired. also wlad vs pulev in the third round. the big straight right, almost the same punch which got to mercer, but it was faster
Great thread and great comments. VK LL uppercut is up there, may be slightly exaggerated but clearly it was a colossal punch. Basically every punch landed in the Foreman Lyle fight, both fighters looked half dead throughout the bout. An honorable mention should be the counter left from Corrie Sanders to Vitali in round 1 of their bout. He took a perfect shot from an ATG puncher flush and survived. That would have canvass ko'd 95 plus percent of HW's.
yeah this was the biggest punch i have ever seen wlad throw. full force and both feet planted. mercer took it just like that. his whole body moved:admin
He rolled his head with the punch which saved him a bit.after it tho when he got stopped he was clear headed enough to evade ike's onslaught,it was actually a bad stoppage in the end
That shot was insane. I still can't believe how Pulev didn't even take a count from that punch. Many even thought that was the KO shot after the fight was over, just like the link below https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgxMUlXdaNQ Some of the shots Wladimir landed on Wach should also be mentioned, the only problem is that he basically landed at will all night, picking just one shot is pretty much impossible. I also think that the right hand he landed on Tony Thompson in their second fight was one of the most brutal shots I've ever seen thrown. The Tiger was knocked down, but somehow managed to beat the count. At 1:08 in the video below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mt8R4PtRfDU
:good ouch mom it hurts:yep had the ropes not been there, I think Pulev would have been down. I give him credit though until that Left hook disconnected his head from his body. His mind said "get up" and his body said "blvhdsbeyebwjsbgedn":hey
Pryor ate a couple of spectacular punchers against Arguello. There is not one particular punch but SRL being able to handle Hearns power at WW was special too.
Vitali taking that hellacious uppercut, sometimes I watch that fight again just for seeing him nearly lifted off his damn feet! Some of the right hands Groves sent at Froch in I think round 6 in their first fight, how the heck was he still swinging, how can you beat a guy you've already rattled hard in the first round yet you've just thrown the kitchen sink, the pipes and the boiler at a guy whose head must still be swimming and he's still coming out for the next round Eubank vs Thompson in round 4 was an example of an impressive chin, Thompson kinda doubles up and is winded or is luring him in, then as he lunges he unleashes a vicious right, so he practically rushes into a perfectly timed right with full force behind it and it does nothing then he lays it on Thompson and puts him down within ten seconds.
One of Wladimir's best KO's. He basically commanded Pulev to stay down with his hand, and Pulev put his head right back on the canvas in perfect sync with Wladimir's hand gesture. His face also looked like a bloody mess after the KO. But you have to give credit to Pulev, he really tried to win as opposed to many of Wlad's opponents who in there just to survive.
