watched it like a bazillion times and it just gets better an better [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0SONoA5L1g[/ame]
That's probably the slowest and softest looking 1 punch KO of all time... but certainly not the best. :bart
There are better 1 punch Ko's but none as feel good as that,great moment in boxing history,Big George is a legend..
As far as significance goes it ranks high up there... but there are thousands of better looking 1 punch KO's than that one.
thats what im talking about! maybe an undercard fight in a gym somewhere had a better punch in it, but for the moment. losing badly, even losing that round, plus by chance the camera is on atlas at the time. knowing one punch can make him be the oldest champ ever, then BOOM!!!.
Foreman's is the best feel good ko,but this right here is the best one punch ko ever,absolutely frightening..
We have a winner. Not sure if you'd rate Hearns-Duran a one punch or not because Hearns set it up by feinting a couple of times to the body, but if it counts it has to be in the top 3. You can skip ahead to about 55 seconds in if you want. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asiE3nAzqwQ[/ame] (Just listen to that shot too... brutal).
It was for the WBC middleweight belt. It's not as meaningful as Foreman-Moorer, but it's not a 1-10 fighter beating a 0-10 fighter either. It also all but finished Graham's career after the poor guy had always been not quite good enough to win the title, he was finally on his way to doing it easily and then...
i know it wasnt meaningless but still i think foreman takes it. like beckhams free kick against greece, some things just make ya skin tingle!!!
... can't believe I didn't post this myself. My only defense is that it is 6AM here in NY and I haven't slept yet.
