    For the moment, I can only narrow it down by elimination.

    You've ruled out Menafee. It wasn't Roni Martinez (a terrific late career display of killer instinct and finishing skills though). Sean Fitzgerald was laid out by a left hook, then follow up barrage, so that couldn't be it.

    Duran broke the nose of Terry Thomas with a hard right hand in the third round in a televised match on March 29, 1994. This might be a good candidate for the particular episode I've detailed. I haven't seen the bout since it aired live, but was transfixed by the slow motion replays, as I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Rearranging somebody's face is usually only a figure of speech. This time, El Cholo literally pushed the nose halfway between where it originally had been in the center of the face, and the victim's right eye. Thomas was out of action for over three years after Duran. Currently, this match is not to be found on youtube or Google video.

    Here's an LA Times blurb which mentions Duran-Thomas (paragraph 3, last sentence):

    She served as her father's lawyer and business advisor from 1989 to 2004. In 2007, Joe sued her for the return of his contracts, product endorsements and other business papers. She had control of those documents for those 15 years. The suit charged that she failed to explain where those records were. He dropped the charges when she was running for the bench, so she wouldn't lose her race.

    Basically, law school and the practice of law appears to have turned her into a classic shyster. Joe was set for life with a guaranteed income before she took over his affairs, and he had to close his gym after she discontinued in that role. Form your own conclusions. Larry Holmes has taken better care of Joe than she has.

    The punch Tyson hit Johnson with will stay with me for a long time.
    Tyson moving forwards and throwing full power with Johnson walking into the shot.
    Poor guy never saw what hit him, "did someone get the number of that bus???".

    Not sure what fight, think i might've seen it in a highlight video. But it was Ray Robinson throwing a left hook to the head and it jarred the guys whole body. It was sickening, it looked to have so much force in it from such a short distance

    Most of the Julian Jackson knockout I've seen have been brutal. His finish of Norris looked painful. Really painful.

    To be fair to Viruet, he beat the count and was TKOd rather than knocked cold.
