I've always disliked Miranda... but his KO of David Banks is my favorite of recent years. It's not too often that you see a guy literally bent over backwards through the middle ropes like that.
i am sure read in the ring that year why no award was given but cant remember the reason for it, but as Shogun Assassin says Mercer - Morrison would be the one
How do they pick them? Because Foreman - Moorer was a ****ing **** KO, that was only of note due to the shock factor and Foreman becoming champ. As an actual visual it's crap.
