Should be pretty simple. What do think of this list, and what ones would you have? #20. Walker vs Milligan #19. Spinks vs Johnson #18. Marquez vs Pacquiao IV #17. Whitaker vs Hurtado #16. Robinson vs Graziano #15. Louis vs Schmeling II #14. Jefferson vs Harris #13. Charles vs Satterfield #12. Toney vs Williams #11. Tyson vs Johnson #10. Williams vs Jack #9. Ingo vs Machen #8. Mercer vs Morrison #7. Foster vs Quarry #6. Griffith vs Paret III #5. Jackson vs Graham #4. Marciano vs Walcott I #3. Hearns vs Duran #2. Robinson vs Fullmer II #1. Walcott vs Charles III
Hearns-Duran was amazing to watch in real time. Totally unprecedented. Duran-Lampkin Leonard-Dave Green Saad-Mwale Douglas-Tyson
I'm just impressed that you make actual lists of things like that. Also adding: Jackson-Drayton Norris-Mugabi Curry-McCrory
All right.....I'm gonna stump ya. Louis-Buddy Baer (the corkscrew KO) Jones-Pazienza Lockridge-Mayweather
Gerald McClellan vs Danny Mitchell is the best I've seen, for the footwork beforehand and judgment of timing and distance, as well shaping his body with the footwork to turn his body into it, and turning those knuckles down on the point of jaw. Danny Mitchell wasn't very good. But this was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. He was asleep, completely cold.
I couldn't really produce a list as it'd just be random with no real logic behind it, but safe to say plenty from your list would also feature for me, George. A few others I'd probably include which I don't think have been mentioned yet.... Wayne Alexander against Takaloo is a beauty. Alexander was limited, but he certainly could crack. What a shot. Although everyone (rightly) raves about his KO of Fullmer, I think Robinson's flattening of Graziano was just as good, or at least even easier on the eye. Great speed, beautifully set up and executed. Rodrigo Valdez in the second fight against Briscoe, too, simply because in theory Valdez had no business essentially ending that fight with one shot as he more or less did (second one just helped Bennie on his way down). The only inside-schedule loss of Briscoe's career, and something neither Monzon nor Halger could replicate. Tremendous shot from Valdez. For a similar reasons, maybe Roy against Tate as well. Tate took plenty of leather from the most renowned knockout artist of the era in Jackson not long before, lasting the full twelve...Then gets wiped out with one left hook by Jones, his only ever stoppage loss. Donaire against Darchinyan (first fight), too. Beautiful timing and precision.
Great list. I would include pac-Hatton and Louis-Walcott 2, where Louis lands a right-hand KO punch moving backwards
