Ah forget it, I can't narrow it down to just a couple.

Rocky Marciano-Jersey Joe Walcott 1
Lennox Lewis-Hasim Rahman 1-2
Mike Tyson-Pinklon Thomas (this combo was insane)
Manny Pacquiao-Ricky Hatton
J.M. Marquez-Manny Pacquiao 4
Matthew Saad Muhammad-Lottie Mwale
Michael Spinks-Marvin Johnson
Thomas Hearns-Roberto Duran
Roy Jones-Virgil Hill
Antonio Tarver-Roy Jones 2
Rocky Juarez-Antonio Diaz
Derrick Jefferson-Maurice Harris

 

CIntron vs Mathysse

 

The greatest KO in boxing history is Hearns vs Duran.

The calibre of oppopsition, the point in time of their careers and the sheer aesthetic spectacle make it difficult to top.

Duran is generally counted amongst the ten greatest boxers of all time and proved many times that he had a great chin. He was never knocked out by anyone else, not even as a 50 year old light heavyweight.

Duran was only 33 at the time and, on good form, had just given Hagler his most difficult fight to date. Duran vs Hearns was essentially an unofficial eliminator for a shot at Hagler. Reasons and excuses have been offered, some valid perhaps, but Duran was in good shape for Hearns and he was motivated; Duran really did want the rematch with Hagler.

Then there's the look of the thing. Hearns was mesmerising that night; so fluid; he was poetry in motion. The way he moved, danced and turned; the timing, the feints and the way he let his hands go, he was truly dynamic and it was far better looking than any mocked up Hollywood fight scene. The final right hand was technically superb and perfectly set up; it was so beautiful to the eye and yet so completely devastating. This KO just can't be topped.

:good Hearns is my all-time favorite fighter and this is definitely #1 in my book.

 

Yeah, those shots still landing while Sanchez was on the way down. Beautiful but brutal as hell.
