    Bob Fitzsimmons wins the most glorious title in all of sports with a single body blow.

    Prettiest: Mike McCallum's sweeping left hook that landed on the point of Donald Curry's chin. Curry goes spread-eagle and is counted out. An absolutely perfect KO.

    This is random, but watch the slow motion replay of Roberto Duran dropping Davey Moore with that straight right. The way the sweat sprays off Duran's hair when it lands looks savage and utterly awesome, as is the way the punch explodes off Moore's jaw, dropping him on the seat of his pants.

    A more recent example that I don't think has been mentioned was Tarver's left hand on Jones, but I guess to a large extent that punch has lost some of its luster due to the fact RJJ has been KO'd so many times since.

    It was Kid Gavilan, I think, who made it famous.
    It may have actually been Ceferino Garcia, who used it before him.

    Firpo's punch that knocked Dempsey out of the ring is immortalised, though some say it was more of a push that a punch.

    Marciano KO13 Walcott

    Schmeling's first couple of big right hands on Louis are famous too.

    Ali's 'phantom/anchor' punch.

    And Ray Robinson's punch on Gene Fullmer !

    I always loved Arguello's arrow right hand on Kevin Rooney.
    McCallum's left hook on Curry
    Curry's left hook on Milton McRory
    Julian Jacksons devastation of Herol Graham. Sickening.
    Forman's uppercut on Frazier that lifted him off his feet.
    Tysons right hand on Botha, one of his best.
    Lewis' first right hand he dropped Ruddock with and the one he KO'ed Rahman with.
