I still say Walcott's KO of Charles tops the One Punch KO list..definitely at HW

    Not many can top that. Weaver-Tate comes close. Foreman-Moorer, Tyson-Botha.

    I personally prefer Walcott-Charles at HW. Robinson-Fulmer could be my all time favorite.

    I thought your argument was Walcott had been practicing that punch all his life and finally got it lucky against Charles. haha:rofl

    Funny. It's not a move that Walcott was unpracticed at. If you look at Marciano I, he tries it a couple times.

    Exactly the way I have it...though the most aesthetically pleasing ko had to be Robinson vs Graziano....that almost effortless right hand ko.

    It was great to see a journeyman come good, even if it was for one night only.

    A true cinderella story.

    That's a beauty. But I just love how his left hook against Fulmer comes out of nowhere. The text book thing would be to throw the hook behind a left-right as Fulmer comes bearing in, but he instead just feints Fulmer's right down and goes immediately for the hook. Such a perfect unorthodox move.

    Same with Walcott just walking towards Charles, slipping inside the jab and countering without breaking stride for a second.
