Top 50 Knockouts (project)

Hey guys.

MY next video is going to be a countdown on the top 50 knockouts in boxing history. I was hoping I could get your guys help and expert consultancy on this list. It might be fun for you guys to debate, and it would be very helpful to me :good

Any, these are the 50 I got now, and I KNOW I am missing some key ones. I was wondering which you guys think I should take out, and which you think I should include.


This rough list is set up in 4 tiers, but the fights within the tiers are not in order. 1 is best, while 4 is the least great.

Need To Be Added:

Pacquaio vs Hatton ?
Carter vs. Hernandez
Basilio vs. Demarco ?
Jackson vs. Graham




So what do you guys thin so far, in terms of these "tier" groupings?

I am judging these of many factors, like ferocity, devastation, significance, finesse, and a few more things.

What else would you guys add, or take out?

 

Thanks for the suggestions guys!!

Ye, I definitely need to add Lewis Rahman! I don't recall Charles vs. Valentino, but I will have to check it out, as I have no doubt that it will probably make this list.


Nicky! Your right! I forgot Johnson-Ketchel, shame on me! lol. Good thing I made this thread.

I will have to fit Johnson Ketchel there without a doubt.

Pacquaio vs Hatton was one of the greatest modern day knockouts. You guys think it should be added? And if so, which tier do you think?

I had Hearns vs Cuevas in there originally, but took it out to make room for some other ones. If there is one you see on the list, less special than Hearns vs Cuevas, let me know, please!

Thanks again guys.

I will keep this thread up for about a week, and then I'll begin editing the video next weekend.

 

I just saw Charles vs Valentino, that was indeed a special KO! I think it should go in my last tier.

The only problem is that MCGrain has the only copy of the fight available I believe. I wonder if he would give me permission to use the KO if it get's added to my list.

 

Yes! Lamotta vs Dathuille must go up there. I have not seen the other ones, but I will definitely have to see them. I appreciate it GreatA!

I also need to find a way to include the embedded videos you posted too.


lol Nicky I just realized I didn't have it up there. It was on the top of my list when I compiled it, lol silly me. Thanks for the heads up!!
