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

Ali-Foreman

 

:goodwell done.never seen this before.only read about it.
birmingham's finest outlasting the durable dane:bbb
i hadn't realised the crowd was so huge either.

 

Louis over Baer

 

Foster vs Tiger
Nunn vs Kalambay
Hopkins vs Johnson

 

griffith-carter

 

Definitely agree with this one. Nobody's kayoed Foreman since then. Even when he got old,and was being hit time and time again.

 

Definitely. The ref stepped in in the LaMotta fight, he was never put down or unconscious. He flattened the very durable Fullmer (who'd only ever even been put down once prior against the monster left hook of Eduardo Lausse) with one punch. Definitely the best example I can think of for this thread.

 

:huh

 

Nobody else has come close to stopping the same man, who is not an elusive target to put it mildly.

 

I think Glen would have gone the distance had he been allowed to. It was just too one-sided but Johnson wasn't truly hurt in the fight.

 

Many Holyfield fights. He was just so good at breaking guys down.

 

Not to mention he was one of Hopkins's weakest defenses at the time. He wasn't nearly the fighter he'd become after gaining the experience against world level competition.

 

Tyson against Pinklon Thomas impresses me.
The fact that Tyson actually got him down.

 

Point taken. :good

Swap it for Jackson vs Norris.

Would we credit Morales for stopping Zaragoza, or was he just too old at that point?
