    Louis KO's Walcott ... poetry

    @Rumsfeld is doing a favorite KOs poll right now up in the sticky posts that has a lot of great gems.

    I made a list, my favorite is wolcott over Charles. Just so aesthetically pleasing. Plus I like that my guy jersey Joe finally got to taste being champ and it was a one punch ko of a hall of famer

    Ali's knockouts of Wepner and Bonavena are sweet, the latter Ali is the only man to do it.

    Isolating the question for one moment to photographic capture - I can’t say there’s been a better photo than that of the split sec after Marciano’s KO right connected on Walcott’s chin - as depicted in one of the thumbnails. Wow!
