    Jones-Griffin II is my favorite as far as technique and skill are concerned. The KO punch was sheer perfection. Peak Roy Jones Jr. was truly something else.

    Most brutal is Gatti-Gamache. That KO looked legit deadly, especially when you consider Gamache was out after the first shot, and two even brutaler shots followed.

    A few more to consider:
    R. Leonard's ko's of Andy Price and Ayub Kalule
    R.Duran's ko's of Lampkin , Dejesus #3 and Moore.
    Holmes's ko of M.Frazier (Poor Papa Joe just stood looking stunned)
    Arguello proving the last skill to leave a great puncher is his punch
    as he finally caught B.Costello and destroyed him.
    Mugabi sending poor Frank Fletcher through the ropes.
    Joe Louis close to homicidal assault on Max Schmeling and Galento
    Zale leaving Graziano stretched out like he'd been shot by a 357 magnum 3rd fight.
    Jerry Quarry's destruction of Earnie Shavers
    the classic Marciano beating Walcott to the punch leaving him slumped over caught in
    the ropes sleeping.
