    1. "Ali-Liston 2" (1965)
    2. "Marciano-Walcott 2" (1953)
    3. "Foreman-Roman" (1973)
    4. "Tyson-Seldon" (1996)
    5. "Dokes-Weaver 1" (1982)
    :deal
    NOTE:

    I have tapes of "Louis vs. Bud Baer 2" and "Louis vs. Mauriello." I like both fights / KO's...

    I also see both "Liston-Patty" fights of 1962 and '63 as an awesome annihilation of a smaller man...

    C'mon back and chat / debate.......:bbb

    What? Foreman/Roman was great!

    Roman: "BLECH!"
    Foreman: (HULK SMASH)

    You don't put Wlad/Iggy above Foreman/Roman? Come on, brother. :lol:

    Yes, but at least the paying crowd got to see some form of boxing / fighting in these bouts you have listed....... Nobody likes buying an over-priced ticket, beer and a hotdog to see a blow-out or tank job......

    I have nothing against a 1st round KO as long as the fight was heated prior to the KO..... I just hate bad stoppages or insane mismatches...

    One of my favorite heavyweight title fight KO's is: "Smith KO 1 Spoon" of 1986... I loved it...

    Tyson/Green was a pretty clinchilacious clinchfest of clinchosity also. Since, Green changed his name, legally, to Clinchy McClincherson. Seriously. It happened.

    Okay, true..... Considering all the pub and press prior to round 1.... Yes, it did suck for all 12 rds....... As did "Ali-Young" and "Klit-Iggy." AGREED!

    But the intention of the topic was geared towards "Quickie" stinkers.... However, okay, "Lingering" stinkers is cool to discuss here.....

    I also feel "Tyson-Spinks" of '88 stinks pretty rancid, too.... I hate that replay.....
