    The most famous ones that come to mind are:

    Marciano v. JJ Walcott I 13th round perfect right hand...

    Paterson v. Johannson perfect left hook.....

    SRL v. Hearns I, right hand that wobble Hearns...

    Cotto punched Judah in the nuts and it completely threw him off his game. Probably didn't do his nuts much good either! :roll:

    wow so only one person mentioned, in passing, the JCC/Taylor fight?

    that straight right completely not only changed the outcome of the fight, but it was the beginning of the end for Taylor as a fighter. So that gets my vote.

    Isreal Vasquez vs Johnny Gonzalez. I remember vasquz was getting spanked so badly that I thought they should stop the fight and he lands a left hook that is the begining of the end 2 rounds later he scores the KO.

    Felix trinidad vs about half of his opponents. Tito almost always got off to slow starts but once he caught guys it was just the beginning of a vicous ass whooping.

    I remember it being a straight right hand right down the pike from Tyson that ended that fight. Wasn't it a right hand?

    Yep, it looked like Barrios was gonna pull the upset, then opps, there goes Barrios.

    The Hearns vs Barkley is a nother good example somebody mentioned, Hearns was beating the **** out of Barkley, then opps, there goes Hearns.

    The last shot that dropped Holyfield in round 10 by Bowe in thier 1st epic battle , it was like assuring his stamp of Victory on such a hard fight..

    Also Sept 94......Oliver Mccall dropped a bomb that made Lewis emerge from himself 3 times the fighter he was before.. Like the transition from a boy becoming a man.. Lewis was broken by tactics set in place by Manny, then rebuilt by the man who pioneered his downfall at the hands of Oliver..

    That first knockdown Archie Moore scored over Yvonne Durrelle, It must have made Durrelle start to wonder if he would ever get Archie to even show a glimmer of quit.. It broke Yvonnes heart and it would eventually cost him the whole fight...........

    The knockdown that Mike Grant scored over Andrew Golota, it broke him and brought out the usual dog that would litterally hand victory to the rising star when he was within an ace of his first loss....

    I dont think anybody mentioned Robinson v Fullmer 2 so I'll do it.
    Also punch Whitaker caught Hurtado with to keep his belts.
