    Whatever you interpret as "beautiful" is the answer here. It could be one punch lights out! It could be a set up to the last punch, whatever you deem "beautiful". Give me your suggestions. :)

    Roy Jones Jr’s one-shot body punch KO of Virgil Hill deserves a mention. Just seeing it makes me wince in pain.

    Lewis vs Botha was pretty spectacular. That combination was beautiful and showed what Lewis was capable of.

    All time favorite is Foreman vs Moorer … I was 14 and absolutely loved Big George. It was surreal for me.

    Ali’s KO of Foreman was quite aesthetic.

    After popping George with the big right hand, Ali had his left hand cocked, easily able to land another punch on the descending Foreman - but many pundits believe that Ali held off so as to not spoil the already artistic/dramatic appearance of the KO.

    Wise choice. The vision of Foreman’s semi spiral toward the deck is well locked into our memories - another punch landed might’ve spoilt George’s balletic trip down toward the canvas.

    Pretty much everything Louis landed in the Schmeling rematch looks beautiful to me.

    Particularly several of Joe’s “exorcist” right hand that almost spun Max’s head a full 180 degrees.

    Not a Mayweather fan per se but I can’t take this perfect check left hook away from him.

    All technique with minimal effort otherwise.

    It went for a little bit longer after Ricky beat the count but upon this KD, it was basically all she wrote: -

    Julian Jackson's knockout of Herol Graham was a thing of beauty.
