    A useless thread, I must admit. I'm just curious to see what the forum thinks is the best KO from this list.

    A bit of mix-and-match in there, just some memorable KO's that sprung to my mind.

    Marciano - Walcott
    Walcott - Charles
    Tyson - Spinks
    Lewis - Rahman II
    Hearns - Duran
    Ali - Foreman
    Tua - Ruiz
    Tyson - Botha
    Jones Jr - Griffin

    Nice list. Picking my favorite of the group was tough. Love the Tyson v Spinks one. As well as the Lewis and Marciano one. I think Mercer - Morrison would be a good choice as well. Sugar Ray vs Fulmer also.

    I guess I'd go with Lewis-Rahman 2 because of the sound factor. I love KOs, or KDs where you can just hear the sound of the punch. Like the first KD of Tyson-Holmes.

    My favorite KO ever is probably Ruddock-Dokes though.

    That was brutal. Dokes was totally defenseless after the salvo of leather Ruddock threw at him, but that final punch could have killed him! ****ing devastating.

    I do feel a little sadistic that that's my favorite KO ever.

    I guess it makes me feel a little better since Dokes is a piece of ****.

    Believe it or not, I think I got a soft spot for Tua-Ruiz. I could watch Ruiz get KTFO all day! :lol:

    Walcott-Charles. Not even close really. I sprout wood when I watch that knock-out.

    I'm torn between Tua-Ruiz and Marciano-Walcott 1, and one you don't have listed, Robinson-Graziano.

    For sheer animal savagery, like watching a National Geographic film of a lion killing an antelope, Tua-Ruiz fascinates me.
