Favorite Heavyweight one punch KOs

The Bomber against Gardner always makes me chuckle (from 2:50):

Tyson's against Carl Williams.
KO on the counter. Its perfect. Masterful thrown punch. Doesn't get better than that. Textbook .A beauty.

 

Out of ****ing nowhere...BOOM!

marciano vs walcott, this one was a real a single 1 punch ko. foreman vs cooney was 1 single shot, the real damage was the upper, cooney was dead on his feet before foreman landed the last blow.

 

crazy :thumbsup

 

The Marciano/Walcott punch was great but against a really old guy, at the end of his career who was tired, getting sloppy and bounced off the ropes and into the punch. Marciano landed similar punches earlier in the fight but against a fresher Walcott not bouncing off the ropes. Still, great power and timing by Marciano.

Supposedly, the Choynski-Johnson KO was a one punch coldcock.

 

:good This is one of my favorites.... A truly clean punch...The sound of that left hook hitting Williams' jaw scares me even today....

 

Walcott was in 2 of them the KO over Charles and the KO'd by in Marciano 1

Vlad KO Chambers 12

many great Heavyweight KO's but one punch KO's are hard, usually takes a few more...Rahman KO Lewis but he softened Lennox with a right moments before then nailed him with the same....the rematch was a beaut but a 2-peice

 

Honorable mention:
Louis vs Braddock

 

My favorite KO ever, perhaps.

I've been watching a lot of Walcott recently. He tried that same move against other fighters and got clocked. Still, it worked this time and is an all-time gem.

 

So how was walcott so tired and sloppy when in fact he dominated the younger "fresher" marciano in rounds 11 and 12, his best rounds of the fight? He almost knocked Marciano out in the 11th.

 

Yeah, he shot his wad. He was gassed and walked into a punch. The old man gave it a good effort and then folded like a picnic chair. In the return match, he didn't even try and was up and running for his paycheck at the count of ten.

 

Walcott KO Charles is mine.

One of the things I find most interesting about Marciano knocking out Walcott (and also overlooked by virtually everyone) is that Rocky set up that KO with feinting. If you watch the 10 seconds or so before the ko, Marciano kept feinting that he was going to jab, kept shaking or starting to pump the left or taking steps forward with his left foot like he was going to step in with a jab as Walcott backed to the ropes. When Walcott got back to the ropes he knew he'd have to fight his way off, so he finally went for Rocky's feinting and went to throw his own right over Rocky's left, only to get clocked with the right at the same exact time.

Old Jersey Joe never saw it coming, and Rocky did a rather respectable job of baiting Walcott into it.

 

Did he just get KTFO by a jab?

damn

And it took Shavers 2 rounds for the same man
