    Any fighters you can think of where they scored a big one punch KO in emphatic fashion while also getting destroyed by the same one punch KO in a different fight? There’s been many instances where a fighter, particularly power punchers, have gotten a taste of their own medicine from time to time. Whether it’s a vicious left hook, right hand, body shot, or uppercut.

    Bob Foster is a prime example of someone who has given and also received a nasty KO. Destroyed Dick Tiger with a left hook and then getting obliterated by Joe Frazier’s left hook as well.

    Lewis both KO'd, and was KO'd by, a single right hand in his 2 x fights with Rahman, albeit his was more of a roundhouse right, whereas Hasim's was a straight right.

    Maybe not a one punch ko. But Wlad was destroyed by left hooks by Lamon Brewster. Both knockdowns came from left hooks.

    Wlad also stopped Chambers with a big left hook himself.

    By the eye test the one Rahman landed looked harder.
