    George LaBlanche's pivot blow, famous enough to get banned from boxing.

    Oh yeah, speaking of Jackson, his KO of Buster Drayton remains the most G-status KO of all time, and my personal favourite.

    Speaking of Sharkey, the punches he received from Carnera and Dempsey were quite famous and controversial to some extent.

    J.on June 29,1933 Primo Carnera hit Jack Sharkey with a right hand uppercut, felling Jack Sharkey for the 10 count. Many people in the audience believe it was a "dive", but who really knows for certain. Sharkey always kept mum about that fight...

    Can't believe the guy tried it in a championship fight and manage to not only hit the guy, but KO Jack "Nonpareil" Sharkey of all people.

    After 32 rounds of fighting, over a hour and a half, LaBlanche he figured he might as well give it a shot since he was losing anyway. Dempsey, tiring and unfocused, got knocked out cold and never figured out what hit him. The punch was banned afterwards, due to respect to Dempsey I guess and how crude a blow it was.

    Leonard / Green ( shame for Green as he copped a beauty from Palomino aswell )

    Eubank / Watson II

    Weaver / Tate

    Colin Jones / Kirkland Laing I & II ( both in the 9th )

    and perhaps Barklay / Hearns I
