    1. Marciano right on Walcott, and for good measure slammed a left as Walcott was slumped. Could have been DQ'd

    2. AA taking Goevener (or whatever his name is) out a couple fights back

    3. SRR Fulmer, wow

    4. Julian Jackson knocking that guy over like a tree

    5. Probably one of the best, considering he was losing the heavyweight championship fight 14 rounds to 0, was Mike Weaver's 1 punch KO over Big john Tate.

    Best punch may be Ali vs. Williams I think it was the 1st kD. Ali moving quickly backward, throws a lightening bolt right, Williams goes down but not quite out. Considering how fast Ali was moving backwards, to come up with that fast and damaging of a blow still amazes me

    Speaking of Shane Mosley, I thought that overhand right he landed on Taylor was perfect. I'm surprised that Taylor got up from that.

    Hearns on Duran


    I know its not an original pick and it gets mentioned everytime this thread comes around, but **** that was a beautiful punch. It wasnt just powerful, but it was thrown so perfect, straight and right down the middle while durans hands were dropped from the faint.

    It wasnt just lucky or random, he set that **** up

    Man how could I forget that fight! Jefferson vs Harris. What a war.

    That was back when HBO BAD was on top of the world. These guys brought the heat!

    Julian Jackson against Graham and Terry Norris have to be near the top. He was losing both fights before he landed one shot, and that was it.

    The uppercut Tyson hit Marvis Frazier with is high up to. Tyson continued the attack and landed about 4 more punches, but it was while Frazier's head was up in the air and right before he collapsed.

    Also, even though it wasn't a kayo, When Bowe hit Holyfield with that uppercut in the 10th, I don't think any other heavyweight would have stayed standing. It's more impressive when considering Bowe outweighed Holy by around 30lbs.

    The top of my list though, is Lewis-Rahman 2. A 250-260lbs man swinging all of his weight into a punch landing directly on his chin.

    I said Lewis-Rahman 2. But I forgot about the left hook Bob Foster hit Dick Tiger with. I can't see anybody from 175lbs and below taking that shot. It's the hardest punch I've ever seen and the best punch (though Robinson/Fullmer is close).

    Someone already said it, but I remember Vincent Petway KTFO Simon Brown at 168lbs (I think). It was a great fight. I can't remember the punch that did it, but that's only because the thing from that fight that you remember is Brown, unconscious, throwing punches in the air from the ground. That's a very brutal sight, a lot like watching Emile Griffith-Benny Paret 3, it's very hard not to look away when those things happen.

    That fight was an annihilation. Taylor was sooo woefully out of his depth. It was a beautiful execution by Shane though.

    and ricky hattons fight against micheal stewart three straight left hooks in consesion but the last left hook it was like stuart turned himself into the finally shot and down he goes hatton was so ruthless during the year 2000 to the tszyu fight was so ruthless it was amazing!
