    Tough question but what would you consider to be the greatest knockout(s) punch(es) you have personally witnessed.

    Robinson's left hook to pulverise Fulmer is the first one that springs to mind. My favourite might be Lennox's one two to goodnight Rahman.

    Today is Floyd Patterson day for me (because that Frazier-Patterson thread), so how about Floyd Patterson's great left-hook KO of Ingaemar Johannson?

    Hmm....Robinson-Fullmer II?

    Spinks-Johnson?

    Nunn-Kalambay?

    Foster-Tiger/Quarry?

    Marciano-Walcott I?

    Too hard to pick just one.

    It changes every week but right now my personal favourite is the 4 punch combo that Lewis knocked Botha out of the ring with. Tremendous speed and power!

    Speaking of Lennox Lewis, no knockout punch collection would be complete without Lewis knockout of Hasim Rahman.

    A high stakes rematch, and a make or break fight for Lewis, he emphatically silences sceptics in this rematch with one of the loudest right hands I've heard. Rahman had no chance that night.

    Sharkey Carnera II deserves a mention.

    Foster Vs Quarry
    and Jackson Vs Graham
    are tough to split but with Jackson seeming about to be stopped his shot had exquisite Timing so i would favour that

    Reggie Johnson vs William Guthrie was a nasty ko

    Azumah Nelson Vs Pat Cowdell probably deserves a mention

    Does Tszyu-Judah count, considering Judah got up and fell over a couple times after that right hand?

    I'd add that in here, for not only the perfection of Tszyu's right hand, but the comedy of watching Judah all over the place.

    And even Tyson-Berbick, as Tyson landed a short hook and Berbick fell over three times total.
