    Watched the Hatton doc last night and christ his knock out to Manny is hard to watch. I'm not even a huge fan of Hatton's (though feel hes underrated now).

    Duran vs Bizzaro
    Marquez vs Pacquiao 4
    Cooper vs Erskine 3
    Marciano vs Louis
    Basilio vs Demarco 2

    Bizzaro, Pacquiao and Erskine just looked dead, it was horrifying. A great champion like Louis crawling around trying to get up, and a good man like Demarco falling into unconsciousness while his arm is held by the ref, are just not images I like seeing.

    the two sahaprom vs tatsuyoshi knockouts were both horrifying
    donaire vs montiel and ike williams vs beau jack also come to mind

    Wilder vs Helenus. Wilder literally froze that mans soul. You could see it in his eyes and that awkward pose he had on the ground that there was nothing left of him after that hit.

    Mike Quarry getting knocked out by Bob Foster was truly frightening

    Mason Menard - Eudy Bernardo. I was there for this. I didn't actually see it but they immediately called for the stretcher and I don't think he moved when he was being taken out, it was awful.

    Gatti's ko of Gammache was pretty gruesome.
    Also Mercer's ko of Morrison.
    Leonard ko of Dave Green is also scary.

    Wilfred Benitez' ko over Maurice Hope looked pretty scary for a few moments.

    There were many that come to kind. I feel sorry for chad Dawson taking the beating he took from Andre Ward

    How about Wilder Liakhovich? That was really hard to watch. Sergie should have hung it up long before that night and ended up twitching on the canvas.

    The Cooney ko of Norton was scary. I am sure that fight shortened Norton’s life.
