    Hi Manassa, yeah that punch by Louis destroyed Paychek!!!

    I have not seen the entire fight but have seen the KO punch.

    Did Paychek give a good account before the KO???

    Not particularly. He fought scared and I don't blame him.

    Another good Louis knockout is the rematch of Ramage. Hard to spot, but it's there; a tight left hook. Ramage was out.

    I`m surprised no one has mentioned Julian Jackson`s one punch KO over Buster Drayton... Drayton was one tough, tough guy with a very sturdy chin and no one ever did that to him before or since, a real highlight reel KO that was. Eduardo Lausse also landed a terrific left hook against Chico Varona to end matters in the 7th, the force of the blow literally sent him flying backwards to the mat with his right leg buckled beneath him in a unnatural position. I also rather enjoyed Arguello`s finish of Kevin Rooney, a right hand straight down the middle which he threw immediately after that lazy left jab he used to block Kev`s vision for a split second before landing the KO blow.

    Jackson's KO over Drayton is one of my favorites. When I think "badass" that comes to mind. Doesn't get any better than pointing to the ground before the opponent falls after tagging him clean.

    The Arguello KO of Rooney was fantastic as well, just a perfect shot. Arguello slipped a few punches, felt his space with the left, and drove the right home. Described Arguello perfectly.

    Hearns vs Duran. As much as I like Duran it was a fantastic right hand to lay him straight on his face.

    Joe Frazier`s left hook on Big Buster Mathis. It was a short inside hook. Joe could get concussive power without loading up. There was a delayed reaction then it was like Timber!!!!
