    Basilio said that Ike Williams lifted him with body blows...
    Hearns did the same to Duran, lifting him off his feet with two body punches in their fight...those are two examples, off the top of my head.

    I beleive Louis knocked Galento into the air a bit, then onto his butt all with a left uppercut.

    In the 1st Marciano-Walcott fight in Sept. of 1952...JJ lands a nasty uppercut right
    under Marciano's heart that lifts The Rock right off the canvas...I THINK it was
    either the 11th or the 12 th round...

    I think it was a Tyson mismatch against Julius Long in Manchester... I cant remember the fighters name to be honest, but remember staying up late to watch the PPV only for Tyson to anhialate him in record time. Not before however delivering some wicked uppercuts to the stomach that literally lifted him well off his feet and onto his ass.

    Sonny's jab Guest

    Joe Louis lifted Tami Mauriello about eight inches into the air with a right cross.

    Lennox Lewis lifted Francois Botha into the air I think.

    Lennox Lewis spun Oliver McCall like a rag doll once. Always sticks out in my mind considering how friggin' huge both of them aree.

    Just watched Mercer vs. Bert Cooper, Cooper has Mercer rocking off his feet sideways into the air with punches.
