From the point of view of the victim's durability, what are the most impressive ko's?

Stop reading boxrec

 

:nono Curry was slick in his prime he never traded bombs with those guys. Only Starling ever landed on him of the 4 you mentioned,and he was an average puncher. He blew Mccory and Jones out. He spanked Larocca too. Ive been a fan a long time and neither of those guys were that durable like the other fighters who have been mentioned on this thread.

 

All the best ones are pretty muched covered here so im gonna throw one in that may be of interest to some. Wayne mcCullagh beating Arturo Gatti in 1 round. OK, it was in the amateurs but a surprising one nevertheless giving McCullaghs punch power and Gatti being Gatti

 

:nono Na i dont have to do that.. Check this out Fleaman ive been a hardcore boxing Fan for over 30 years . I have watched almost every Champion since then fight when they were fighting. Not on you tube so i dont have to do research on the ones from the last 30 years. Only the ones before that time and I did that before the internet even existed. I have also seen literally thousands of Journeyman,Clubfighter and alot of nobodies in that time period. I dont need to refer to Boxing Records on information that I already know ayyyyyyyright!:bart Only when i forget **** which isnt to often.

 

Having an opponent who fights back competitively is proof of fighting heart?

 

In the context of this fight, (getting off the canvas three times), I would think so.

 

Yeah or David Tua getting KO'd in the amatuers by the Cuban?

 

Robinson was always very candid about counting on the expectation that LaMotta would be weight drained for the Valentine's Day Massacre. He stopped Jake with attrition. Fullmer was a different story.

In the earliest telecasts of Robby's middleweight fights, commentators expressly state that he's not a one punch knockout artist at 160. Then, he suddenly puts down an attacking Graziano for the count with a single right hand, and Fullmer with a single hook, both times in a situation where his opponent has all the momentum. Robinson-Fullmer II is the only reason we don't compare Gene's chin with Jake's.

Benvenuti-Rodriguez and Hearns-Duran are obvious choices, but again, Nino did it with a single punch in a situation he was on the brink of losing.

What RJJ did to Hill was stunning, although Virgil did somehow manage to beat the count. (It should properly be recorded as a Referee Stops Contest, or TKO, but boxWRECK still has it listed as a KO. Of course, that's issboxWRECK.)

 

Joey Maxim-Curtis Sheppard

Maxim has only been stopped one time, and this was the guy that did the trick. Not only that, Sheppard scored the KO (not a TKO) in the first round.

 

Yey but Hill was hurt badly and his ribs were broken,there is no way he would have been able to continue.

 

I Dont Think This Has Been Said Yet

FOREMAN VS FRAZIER I

And To Think...Frazier Was The Favourite Going Into This Fight
