    Lol! Does Golota with his relentless low blow "punches" on Bowe count as legendary?

    I was thinking it's about punches taken that didn't knock them down.

    I agree. The punch that Arguello landed on Pryor for some reason did not have much of an impact on Pryor. Yet, the aesthetic beauty of that punch is breathtaking.

    I was actually thinking the effect of the punch made no difference whatsoever, it was just how technically sound the shot was.

    Technically sound and/or pretenaturally heavy - noteworthily impressive in whatever way, aye, that was my thinking. :thumbsup:

    Punches that shouldn't be taken: Shavers' right vs. Holmes
    Punches that weren't taken: Brock vs. Lawrence

    Marquez's over hand right that slept Pacman was a good one.

    Tyson's 6-4 knockdown on Ribalta, where Ribalta looks confused as to where the punch came from, it's probably the most perfectly executed punch Tyson ever landed on an opponent
