    While controversial of the knockout, the phantom punch Ali landed on Listen in their rematch is an absolute beauty of speed from a man over 200 pounds. While I believe the knockout itself was fixed from Liston, the counter Ali threw was the perfect.

    Randall Bailey's uppercut comes to mind.


    James Toney baiting Barkley with a jab then countering with a right hand that violently ejects the mouthpiece out.

    That's textbook stuff, Buster was too enamored of his long range uppercut and throwing it without any setup is inviting counters.
