What is the most cinematic knockout or knockdown of all time?

That may THE most perfect left hook ever thrown. Just look at it.

 

Lennox Lewis vs Hasim Rahman 2 ..is the best knockout I’ve ever seen

 

If we’re talking cinematically…then Douglas vs Tyson has to be mentioned

 

Cooney vs Lyle was brutal, Lyle folded up like a lawn chair.

Mercer and Tommy... Poor tommy

 

Hager vs Caveman Lee. The way Lee just crumples after the final punch.

Oleg/Rahman 1 was pretty spectacular

 

George Foreman is in two of my top five KOs
Foreman v Ali
Foreman v Moorer
Both are Hollywood
Marciano v Walcott
Marciano v Charles 2
Are also very good
Gatti v Ward 1 where Gatti gets knocked down and gets back up was also awesome

 

Wow, no mentions of Gatti-Gamache? The slow-mo replay of that KO, complete with poor Joey's eyes rolling up, is as dramatic as they come.

Brutal.

 

beat me to it. This is classic

 

Julian Jackson surely would have the most devastating KO's; cumulatively I mean.

 

If cinematic also covers not believable - then Bruce Seldon actually has a resume. The man had some chops - acting chops.

Vs Ribalta, KD happens quickly: -

Vs Tyson, go to 1:10 and then 1:47 for Bruce’s beautifully timed stumble back: -

That Frazier was able to load, and get that hook off IN THE 15TH RD. Beating Ali to the punch no less, after a hellish 14 previous rds should tell anyone how conditioned, tough, and skilled Frazier was.
Does anyone believe any contending heavyweight today would be capable of that?
With all the " modern" training, and "supplements " (Steroids?) today's heavyweights fight at a much slower pace than the heavyweights of that era and should look relatively fresh at the end of a fight and not like they ran the Boston Marathon with only a weeks practice as most do lol.
Fighters like Joshua and Wilder with their body builders physics probably would bench and squat more weight (Maybe not Wilder) than Frazier, they wouldn't beat him in a boxing ring prime vs prime.

 

IMO you chose the most cinematic knockdown. And the most cinematic knockout again IMO can be just one:

The reasons: one punch knockout, the world heavyweight title in the one belt era, the popularity of the event that continues 70 years later, the charisma of Rocky Marciano as the only undefeated heavyweight champion of the world,...
