From the point of view of the victim's durability, what are the most impressive ko's?

To a lesser extent to the above example, Mosley Vs Margarito

 

pryor beating arguello in the first fight

 

valdez ko over bennie brisoe.

 

I suppose really, you can't beat Robinson-Fullmer.

That's a former welterweight champion, past his best, using a single punch to destroy the durable Fullmer, whose chin you'd have to rate an 8/10.

 

Hearns duran. Who ever even came close to doing that to roberto?

 

robinson didn't ko lamotta though or even come near.
fullmer on the other hand ,who believed he was out of the same mould as jake..........................was

 

so the st valentines day massacre was my imagination making robinson look all the more awesome then?

 

You beat me to that one :good

 

Morales was at the end of the road but Pac's first stoppage over him must rate. Ali-Bonavena?

 

Fullmer could be knocked down but he had almost a granite-like chin. It would be difficult to envision him being knocked out by one punch, had we not seen it happen.

LaMotta was brutalized in the last couple of rounds when he had ran out of gas but I was more impressed with LaMotta's chin than Robinson's punch there.

For me it's the Fullmer KO out of these two.

Hearns-Duran is impressive. Sure Duran was getting up there in age and weight but the man always had a dependable chin. Against Jorge Castro at 47 years of age, Duran took Castro's best punches flush on the chin and never went down. Hearns had Duran out on his feet after one round.

 

Yeah. LaMotta, though a bit sturdier than Fullmer, was reeling, slashed and stunned. But Fullmer didn't know what was going on. He tried to get up but couldn't. In the dressing room, he didn't even know he'd been knocked out. One shot. It's the greatest knockout of all time, surely.
