    Always had a soft spot for Kirkland vs Ishida and Mauricio Martinez vs Esham Pickering. The Esham fight in particular is a brutal one, face plant and count being waived & everything. Time flies. What are some of your favorites?

    Indongo vs Troyanovsky was pretty badass

    Khan v Prescott was the one that came to my mind, though someone beat me to it! Khan was still being groomed at the time as the next golden boy of British boxing and Prescott ,- though he had a good record - the next step in the road. I was in shock at that one!

    Carrothers-Toweel 1952 in Sth Africa.

    Perhaps the most one sided example of this in history.

    Carrothers reigned blows on Toweel from the openning bell to the stoppage just over 2 minutes later. The champion Toweel did not land a single blow and finished black and blue.

    This is one of the funniest things I have seen in a ring. Literally turns southpaw, commentator says ‘he is a switch hitter’ and immediately goes down lol. The face plant was beautiful
