    One that always comes to mind is early in his career when he beat "Slammin" Sammy Scaff. The amount of damage that he did to Scaff's face in less than one round was chilling.

    This one.

    He landed a loaded up overhand right that he put all his weight into.
    The sound it makes is disgusting.
    Johnson lost one of his teeth.
    Brutal.

    Marvis Frazier was the most brutal in terms of how the KO victim looked. Poor Marvis looked dead, or like he fell asleep while giving head.

    Pinklon Thomas took the most bombs.

    No, nothing compares...it's Mike's most brutal ko...Pinklon couldn't have been beat up any worse by two guys at one time IMO.

    It was brutal. Make no mistake about it Mike Tyson beat a good contender that night. Pinky Thomas was a talented boxer who came to win, not just survive.

    It's pretty interesting that Tyson only knocked one fighter unconscious throughout his career and that was Marvis Frazier.
