    It was a controversial stoppage, but Oliver McCall's right hand that he landed on Lewis was pretty nasty.

    It was more like a right-hook. I know Lewis got up and wobbled around, but I completely agreed with the stoppage.

    Yes, Lewis Botha is a really classy KO. Power, accuracy, speed and punch variety all in a matter of seconds.

    The Rahman KO less so. It is more a display of brute power with an opponent doing an impression of a mummy instead of a boxer during the 1-2.

    Forgot about Tyson vs Michael Jack Johnson
    Easily one of the hardest right hands I've ever seen.

    How about Mosley's left hook to Vargas chin in the sixth round of their rematch?

    I know Vargas would get up and take a couple more punches before Kenny Bayless stopped it, but the knockdown was a crisp one, courtesy of Mosley setting it up perfectly, on his toes, using his jab.
