    Often times on here we have people come into a discussion about Glass Jaws and their explanation or excuse for their favorite fighter getting brutally KOed is "that punch would have KOed anyone"

    So, what are some examples of punches that really would have KOed anyone?

    One that comes to my mind is that right hand missile that Hearns hit Duran with.

    Thoughts?

    Walcott vs Marciano I,the monster right that Rocky hit Joe with would have put anybody to sleep.

    Rahman's punch that KO'd Lewis. It was just an almighty swing by a big guy. The sheer force lifted a 250lbs man off his feet. If anyone was as complacent as Lennox was that night and got caught by such a wild punch, they would not get up from it.

    And in return, Lewis's 1-2 KO of Rahman. The sound of that combination hurt me.

    As i read the title, i thought of Hearns - Duran. Jackson - Norris as well, truly a concussive punch.

    when seldon fought mccall i thought for sure some of the shots he hit mccall with would have droped a few others... one point he lunges at him and blasts mccall with a 1 2 sweat goes flying off his head .. mccall just pushes him back and keeps going ..

    insane

    I was going to say the Frazier punch that caught Ali in the last rd. But Ali got up!

    That punch Ernie Shavers put Larry Holmes down with in the rematch. But Holmes not only got up, he even proceeded to win. Unbelievable...

    Another one is that uppercut Ike Ibeabuchi landed on Chris Byrd. Byrd got up too (even if he was out really), how he did that is beyond me...
