    If you had to choose just one, what name immediately springs to mind when you think of a knockout? Not necessarily who you think is the hardest puncher, but who over the course of history has time and time again delivered some of the most spectacular and brutal knockouts that you will never forget?

    1. Mike Tyson
    2. Joe Louis

    You could go on and on with their highlight reel knockouts.

    Jackson is another obvious choice..

    But I have always been a fan of how Sung-Kil Moon went about things. He went for the homerun in every shot and when they landed..it was just plain scary from a fighter that small.

    Ezra Sellers maybe is another one some might not think of straight away.

    Joe Louis has more picture perfect classic KO's than anyone else in my book ... just last night I was watching highlights from Conn 2 and it ended with another amazing KO ... it almost looks like a comic book ending ....

    Julian Jackson is the obvious choice, and my choice also.
