The Hardest Shots You've Ever Seen

Oh, and Manny Pacquiao vs Lucero kinda resembles Zab Judah vs. Kostya Tszyu in a way, but if you watch all the slow motion replays the last one shows how that shot which looks so effortless really snaps Lucero's head around.

 

After Mercer stopped Morrison, Tommy was in the corner sitting on his stool and still trying to bob and weave

 

Hrdest one iv watched live thaqt had me woried for the dude was Ding A Ling Mans KO of Nwodo

 

Andrew Maynard's Ko over Butch Hall was as scary a knockout as you'll find. Hall was out cold from the right hand thrown by Maynard, but the follow-up left hook almost seemed to drive him into the canvas. It resembled the Pettway Ko over Brown shown above, but with a left hook to add to Hall's woes. Where Brown was throwing imaginary punches, Hall looked like he was being hit with 10,000 volts repeatedly.
Maynard really looked to be the real deal back then...what a pity he lost his way.

Primo Ramos' Ko over Frankie Randall (the same Randall who later beat Chavez) was another big knockout. Ramos hit Randall with a short left hook and Randall fell like a sack of rocks. Fight over. What a classic left hook that was.

Dingaan Thobela was not a huge puncher, but he caught Francisco Alvarez with a peach of a right uppercut in the 9th round of their fight, sending Alvarez falling limply to the canvas, out cold. What made the Ko really ugly looking was that Alvarez fell down onto his own leg, which buckled grotesquely under his weight.

 

Gatti's ko of Gamache springs to mind.

On the Dempsey Willard fight, I saw a close up slowed down version of the fight yesterday and the first left hook that floors Willard was a hellacious shot!

 

Hm, Abraham´s KO over Ghevor quite recently. Both German-based Armenians fighting a very good and entertaining fight with Ghevor swarming all over Abraham round after round, never backing up and non-stop throwing punches. Abraham countering beautifully and is hitting Ghevor with very hard shots again and again but Ghevor takes everything. Than in the 11th round Abraham landed this scary left hooker-cut and really thought he killed Ghevor. But he was okay and is fighting for the European mw title later this year. The heart, determination and chin Ghevor showed in there was absolut fantastic.

My two faves...Marciano-Walcott-1952....and Ray Robinson-Gene Fullmer-1957

 

I like those Bob Foster 1 punchers aginst Quarry and a tough tough guy in Tiger. Rondon was another bad one, but those first 2 guys were guys that don't get stopped.

But that Foster/Quarry bout was a miracle when you think about it. Foster had already suffered a brutal ko himself in that Frazier bout & thta's > some other heavyweight losses. He continued to defend that title & the last guy you ever see old champions face is the 35-0 w/ 6 ko's guy. They use ringsmarts & reflexes in there and is style very very tough on the old guys. But Foster just went ahead and signed to fight anybody anywhere and then went on to ruin the guy with 1 left hook.

 

Jackson-Graham
Tua-Ruiz
Hearns-Duran
Shavers-Holmes
Walcott-Charles
Lewis-Ruddock
Tyson-M.Frazier

 

Earnie Shaver's knockdown of Ron Lyle is pretty brutal. Don't know how the hell he got up from that one!

Shavers KD of Holmes always gives me shudders. Holmes a bit forward right into a huge Shavers windup, jeez.

 

Yeah and the thing is, Mercer took them....

 

Yeah, me too. I could only think of a few other Heavyweights ever who could've got up from that (McCall and Chuvalo being obvious choices, with Ali and maybe Liston the few others). Whilst Shavers didn't possess good technique, or stamina to say the least his one punch power was monstoruous. You had to respect the guy bigtime and it was a mistake to get sloppy against him (unless you had a granite chin). Having said all that he wasn't exactly a truely great finisher, against anyone other than journeymen: a combination of that and Larry's heart and recuperative powers pulled him through. Forgot about the Jones Jr vs Montell Griffin rematch.


Ps: My other pick as regards Lewis would be the Rahman rematch a decoy left hook, then massive right hand through the opening. Rahman was out cold before he hit the deck. Brutal.

 

The final, finishing right hand that Ron Lyle hit Earnie Shavers with to ko him in their fight in '76 or '77 was a real bomb. I thought he'd kill Earnie with it. Lyle was a real tiger in that fight, battling back from getting decked himself. He fought back like a beast, and was a killer at the end.
