    There’s bound to be tons of them. Ali posing after scoring the knockdown on Liston is probably one of the most famous ones. Douglas just as he knocked down Tyson with his mouthpiece flying out is another one that was pretty iconic. As far as the modern era, a big one I think is when Canelo scored that fight ending punch on Saunders and Wilder when he stood like a villain in front of Stiverne just before completely flat lining him.

    What are some of the most iconic moments you’ve seen in boxing? I think this might be a fun thread haha.

    A Rocky Marciano right hand completely distorting Jersey Joe Walcott's face in the 13th round of their first fight is, perhaps, the most famous boxing photo of the 1950s.

    As mentioned, the 2 that come immediately to mind are Ali standing, arms up, over Liston, and Rocky's SusieQ on Walcott.

    Something that will always stick to my mind: The almost surreal photo of a beam of sunlight coming through the roof, hitting Luther McCarty in the dying seconds of his life, as he lay prone on the canvas after being ko'd by Arthur Pelkey.

    We are more likely to see Greb-Tunney in 4K than ever lay eyes on that footage again.

    Whether your post was point-scoring on Pacquiao fans or not, this one is hard to beat in my lifetime, right up there in the tops of the last thirty years or so.

    The footage of Marquez in the shower washing the blood from his face after the fight (aired in the opening episode of the 24/7 series for Bradley-Marquez) is indelible imagery, also.

    Eubank Snr's scream immediately after the Benn stoppage is still an iconic pic.

    The famous Walcott-Marciano funny-face photo isn't the KO punch....
