    Knocking your opponent out is excellent but nothing gets more satisfying than knocking them out of the ring and winning the fight. From Oleg Maskaev knocking the brains out of Hasim Rahman to Shannon Briggs winning the fight in the dying seconds of the final round, from Joe Smith junior ending the career of the legendary Bernard Hopkins by sending him to where he belonged to Joel Casamayor teaching a hard lesson to Michael Katsidis, you have seen it all. But which one of them pleased you the most and made you watch it over and over again?

    Whitaker vs Hurtado was pretty brutal.

    Tua vs Moorer was pretty brutal. Wasn't completely out of the ring but still a nasty finish.

    Multiple Joe Louis KOs. Just imo, it doesn’t get any better.

    Hearns’ right hand drop on Duran - beautiful.

    Ray Leonard’s KO of Davey Boy Green. Another gun shot knockout.

    Tyszu’s right hand on Zab Judah. All about timing and placement. Zab’s post KD chicken dance was a surprise bonus and pretty cool also.

    I'm a big Hagler fan. So coming off his controversial draw with Antofurmo he knocked Loucif Hamani out of the ring in his next fight

    Well it’s obvious that I so did not read the premise properly. Mea culpa.

    I’ll try to make up for it with this clip of a boxer who manages to send himself out of the ring. It never ever gets old: -

    Just finished watching Derrick Jefferson and Maurice Harris and that knockout was a great climax to a great fight

    Least Favorite Pettway-Brown. That was scary

    Maskaev Rahman for me. The way he fell out was cinematic
