    I believe the only man to ever knock down the iron chinned, never stopped Aaron "Superman" Davis, who fought between welterweight and super middleweight, facing and absorbing flush bombs from plenty of huge punchers along the way... fighters including the likes of Mark Breland, Julio Cesar Vasquez, and Simon Brown and Jose Luis Lopez. Not only does he put Davis down, he badly rocks him and has his legs all over the place for an entire round.

    Sadly Maysonet did not have the durability or stamina to match his punch, but he never won a fight in any manner but knockout, with all 22 of his career wins coming by stoppage... which means he joins an exclusive group of select punchers like Edwin Valero.

    It's not on the internet/youtube anymore (which is a shame because it's a great knockout) but I recall Maysonet fighting 17-0 prospect Hugh Kearney in Maysonet's second fight in the US. Kearney is knocked completely unconscious, stone cold, within 10 seconds of the contest starting, by a single nuclear shot and the ref waves off the contest moments after Kearney hits the canvas like he's dead. This all occurred right in Kearney's backyard as well.

    Maysonet late in his career also traveled to the UK to fight fellow puncher/all action fighter British fighter Darren Dyer. They had a predictably exciting shootout.

    Enjoy!

    If anyone remembers viewing the Kearney fight definitely give me a shout out. I can't be the only one that's ever seen that devastating, first punch of the fight knockout.
