    Hearns has quite a few examples. Mainly against Leonard and also against Hagler IMO in which I thought they both fought fantastically for such a short fight.

    Honestly, Wilder from the third Fury fight may have been the best we've seen from Wilder in terms of talking about the best performance from a boxer whilst getting knocked out.

    You can reach back in the classics for Conn vs Louis, Walcott vs Marciano, Mancini vs Arguello and Tate vs Weaver

    recently? Maybe Conlan vs Leigh Wood

    Yarde v Kovalev comes to mind and Dubois v Usyk, that body shot had Usyk down for the 50 count and Dubois eneded up getting k.o'd off a jab.

    Francois Botha was winning comfortably against Tyson until Mike one-shotted him.

    Cotto was lighting up margarito until his bricks started doing wonders. Not a knock out, but still a stoppage
