I like your Olivares v Torres and Charles v Satterfield. I also like Galindez v Kates I at light heavy and have always been a sucker for Robinson v Graziano at middle and Curry v McCrory at welter. Will have to think on the others.
Hi George. What are the criteria? For example, for historical perspective my fave HW KO is Ali-Foreman but for the actual KO itself, Patterson v Ingo 2 for one is far more aesthetically compelling to me. Are we just rating the punch/sequence that ends the fight rather than who gets KOed; who did the KOing; what it means to me, personally ... yada yada?
At SMW Toney vs Charles Williams was pretty memorable. And yes that knockout of Graham was so nasty, it looked like he was stuck in time

I swear I didn’t look at your picks before I chose mine, George. Surprised we both came up with Jones-Paz for super middleweight. Not a significant KO and a one-sided fight but just a beautiful combination and all of them landed.

Y'know, I actually thought as I wrote it that it was a little too mainstream for them. I was thinking of adding Toney-Williams coz of the way he literally bends Charles' body, but I do just love those ripping, picturesque uppercuts. And I also knew when I saw you'd liked my OP that your list would have have Mckinney-Ncita on it.
Julian Jackson's KO of Buster Drayton at 154 was something to behold. He nails Drayton in the 3rd, Drayton's eyes roll back in his head, his legs do not move and he topples over like a great oak while Jackson makes a downward motion his glove. He did everything except say, 'Timberrrrrrr!'
