    There are loads, but Ron Lyle-Earnie Shavers round 4 sticks in my mind.
    Bit of a one sided blowout of a post prime Norton, but Gerry C00neys first round demolition of Ken certainly looked good on the day.

    I'm trying to think of a few.
    Frazier-Quarry 1st round 1969.
    Franklin-Johnson LH first fight (pick your round)
    For anyone who hasn't seen that one, it was almost impossible to score from start to finish with both bombing away constantly.
    Caveman Lee-Rozario anyone?
    I'll try to think of some more.

    Round 9 Tyson vs Douglas?? It was nothing but a one sided ass kicking.

    Ali's final round against Shavers was great as well.

    It turned into it, but Tyson started off landing some good shots. The drama of it was good, with Tyson seeing if Buster was still hurt from the KD and looking to finish. He did land some decent shots but Douglas took them, and came back. Then he hurt Tyson late in the round, with Tyson's legs visibly buckled, and went to the ropes with Buster kicking his ass

    Tyson landed one decent shot at the start of the round.

    Tyson landed a few. Nothing huge, but a few decent ones. Douglas kept coming strong.

    I wouldn't say that is enough to rank it as an all time great round.
