    GGG taking that shot from Canelo deserves to be included.

    Some of the shots Shavers landed on Ali were quite murderous.

    That punch Iran Barkley turned Roberto Duran sideways with has to be up there.

    It’s seen in this clip (right after the first exchange):

    I seem to remember that Morrison landed some bombs on Mercer before he tired and received the barrage that almost killed him.

    The upper cut Lewis landed on Vitali would have KO'ed an elephant.

    You can almost see Canelo think "how the f*** is this guy still standing."

    Dick Tiger v Henry Hank at 2:15 of this clip they land simultaneous left hook bombs and just kept fighting. Amazing.

    Maurice Harris vs Derrick Jefferson the 3rd round I believe ? Harris takes the most flush uppercut you will ever see and it also knocks his mouthpiece out. And somehow he didn't go down from that.

    Lewis's famous uppercut vs Vitali in 6th round.

    Toney taking flush hard left hand from Jirov right at the end of round 12, the noise it makes is sickening and Toney walks straight through it and floors Jirov seconds later.

    Holyfield taking Bowe's uppercut in round 10 of their famous round.

    Hagler taking Hearns right hand at the beginning of the 1st round, and also taking Mugabi's uppercut in round 2 I believe ?

    Quarry taking Frazier's left hook in their 2nd fight maybe 4th or 5th round ? One of the most devastating left hooks I've seen god knows how Quarry stood up.

    Arguëllo´s right hand in the 13th (I think) that knocked Pryor´s head right back was amazing.
