    which ones are they?

    For me, the one Shavers landed on Jimmy Ellis in their first fight.

    Lewis's first uppercut vs Michael Grant - just awesome power

    Mike Tyson's one vs Marvis Frazier.

    Edit:

    Douglas's uppercut vs Tyson in round 10 which was part of the finishing combo.

    Joshua's right uppercut on Wlad which eventually led to stoppage.

    Holmes's right uppercut on Weaver that led to knockdown and eventually stoppage.

    Tyson Fury's right uppercut finish on Dyllian Whyte.

    When AJ stretched Wlad's neck and turned him into a giraffe.

    Foreman v Frazier, Douglas v Tyson (rds 8 and 10), Bows v Holy I (rd 10) are obvious ones.

    The one Tyson landed on Ribalta to drop him in round 2 wasn't too shabby. Others from Tyson: vs Bruno at the end of both fights, vs. Jesse Ferguson when he dropped him in the 5th round, and against Marvis Frazier.

    I think while his eyes were still open and he was upright and his body was functioning from instinct and reflex, Joe Frazier was essentially unconscious after the uppercut from Foreman in the corner in Kingston.

    Are either of the Shavers-Young fights available on video? Never seen them.

    You mean Ellis my friend.

    Would you be happy to label Walcotts one punch KO of Charles an uppercut? Bit of a hybrid.

    A hurt desperate Tyson uppercut that dropped Douglas was a ripper.

    Shavers last punch on Norton was a scorching uppercut.

    Foreman's last bomb on Cooney was awfully close to an uppercut.

    Cooney put some big uppercuts with both mitts on Norton in his finishing salvo as well.

    Ruddock v Dokes. Although it was a hybrid.

    The punch didn't KO or even knock down Harris, but this uppercut from Derrick Jefferson was pretty nasty. Time stamped...

    Was this KO legit? If so, it might take the cake.

    Larry Holmes short-circuited Mike Weaver with a helluva uppercut in the corner. Mike somehow got up and finished the round but he was done and Larry polished him off next round.
