Neither are U.K. based but my absolute all time favourites are Martinez v Williams and Márquez v Pacquaio. Martinez for the comeback after getting robbed in their first fight. Márquez for the sheer shock of it, and the Lampley/Jones commentary of it was just absolutely perfect. ‘He’s not getting up Jim. He’s not getting up Jim.’ Though Povetkin sparking Whyte was a particular favourite earlier this year, mainly for the lolzzzzz factor.
This!!! Andy Lee was one of my all time favourite fighters even when he was taking a beating he pulled it out the bag time and time again, amazing one punch power, has to be up there for one punch power atg lists!
Recent would be Povetkin laying out Whyte. That was as good as it gets. Best one when watching from ringside would be Enzo Mac vs Bruce Scott. Arturo Thunder Gatti vs Gabe Ruelas was another Gatti comeback.
Whyte was hit with more than a dozen punches by Joshua before being KO'd and was wobbled massively about 45 seconds before the final punch, Bambi on ice style. Involving a British boxer I think it was quite sweet to see Lewis get sparked out by Rahman.
It wasn't on display in that fight, but the "Jackson Point" has to be the greatest of all boxing taunts. Bollocks to the wind-up, the shuffle or any of that amateur stuff. Knocking a guy's lights out and then pointing to the spot on the canvas where he is about to fall is where it's at.
I think Gatti's KO against Joey Gamache was more brutal but in fairness Gatti absolute dwarfed Gamache in the ring that night..... he looked huge.
