    1.) George Foreman vs Jerry Cooney

    No list, but this is my favorite knockout of all time. That walk away uppercut has never been matched.

    Just so you know, the order is important for the scoring. 1st place votes are worth far more than 25th place votes.

    You're good. Try and get it in as soon as you can, but I'll continue accepting new submissions the next few days while I'm finishing up my work-in-progress. I'll probably shut down the thread after the weekend.

    I forgot to include it on my list but Gerry Cooney's knockout of Ken Norton was brutal!

    Now that you mention it, Foreman's KO of Norton was nearly as epic and arguably more brutal! Although it did take him one more round...

    I added this one to my list too. But only just remembered Gerry Cooney's knockout of Ken Norton. I feel for Ken Norton he got knocked out brutally by Earnie Shavers, George Foreman and Gerry Cooney. He actually admitted after controversially losing to Muhammad Ali in their rubbermatch in 1976 his heart was never in boxing in the same way again because he didn't trust any of the judges, officals and promoters.

    Given that Charles is my all time favourite fighter, it's actually both my favourite and least favourite ever.
