Rules: -Nominate your favorite KO's from 2000-Present. -Quote a KO and give it a score on a scale of 0-10 style points. -We'll keep a running total of the average score for each KO. -We are only rating aesthetics here. Significance of the KO and quality of opponent don't matter for the purposes of this discussion. I tried to narrow my picks down to a top 10, but ended up having to do 11. And these are only mainstream fights that came to mind. I know there are a bunch of hipster-level fights that I forgot about. Tszyu TKO2 Judah (10/10) -One of the funniest KO's of all time. Abraham KO11 Gevor (10/10) -Totally unconscious and one of the best falls ever. Garcia KO2 Salka (10/10) -Brutal KO right after Salka asks for it. Picturesque fall. Martinez KO2 Williams (10/10) -Walkoff KO with a picturesque fall and total lack of consciousness. Extra credit for walking away as soon as the shot lands. Alvarez KO3 Kirkland (9.5/10) -Falls down totally limp. Extra credit for ducking the return punch and making Kirkland spin on the way down. Bailey KO11 Jones (9.5/10) -Ridiculously perfect uppercut, falls flat on his back, and then staggers around. JMM KTFO6 Pacquiao (9/10) -Completely unconscious. Pacquiao KO2 Hatton (9/10) -Completely unconscious. Froch TKO8 Groves (8.5/10) -Folds up like a lawn chair. Donaire TKO5 Darchinyan (8.5/10) -Goes down hard and then tries to recover. It's funny. Tarver TKO2 Jones (8/10) -Average knockdown, but the drunken stumbling after he gets up makes it better.
