    Really re-watching Pacquiao Marquez 4 it had me thinking whats the most devastating/shocking knockout in a top level fight where going into the fight its close to being a 50/50 kind of fight.

    I'm not talking about an up and coming fight brutally knocking out a journeyman or an underdog knocking out a clear favourite i.e douglas tyson.

    But going into a fight which is deemed pretty much a pick em or one where there's not a clear favourite what would you say is the KO which left you most speechless - something along with the lines of Robinson - Fullmer 2.

    That's what I was gonna say.

    Also Tarver-Roy II, although Tarver was less than 50-50.

    Although it seems kind of absurd with hindsight, historically Dempsey-Willard and Liston-Patterson I have to be up there.
