    Mine has to be Walcott KO7 Charles. Jersey is such an inspiration and the culmination of his road for the crown is the single most impressive knockout I've witnessed in the heavyweight history, mainly due to the fact that he broke at least two fundamental rules of boxing to pull it off. This KO was pretty much Walcott's signature — one final Crescendo of his career and style.

    Povetkin knocking out Whyte never gets old. Picture perfect action.

    Ingo sending Floyd into the oblivion and McCall humbling Lewis are also up there.

    One of the most beautiful left hooks was Ezzard Charles' KO over Bob Satterfield.

    There are many great knockout wins. I'm not sure if I would call Marciano vs. Walcott I my "favorite knockout" because it hurts just to watch. However, it's one of the most impressive one punch KOs when he was behind on points in round 13. Maybe the most famous single-punch knockout in heavyweight history next to Foreman vs. Moorer.

    I also like Liston vs. Westphal. Albert Westphal was never knocked down before but Liston just chopped him down like a tree.

    Big fan of that KO too.

    You must be a fan of the lead uppercut.

    Foreman vs Cooney's got a very similar swagger as JJW's KO of Charles

    Jefferson - Harris was a hell of a one punch kayo. If I could believe he couldn't have got up, Evander's over Buster was a beauty.

    Walcott - Charles, Marciano - Walcott, Patterson - Ingo II, Tyson - Williams, Johnson - Ketchel are all definitive one punch Kos.

    Rahman - Lewis takes some beating though. That shot landed flush. Can we count the rematch or does Lewis' left hook to move Rahman's head into place make it a two puncher? In which case, Foreman - Moorer has to slip off the list, too.

    Jackson vs Graham is the reason a lot of boxer’s moms won’t watch their sons fight
