    One that deserves mention and seems to be a bit forgotten: Thomas' one punch KO over Weaver. Thomas' right hand packed some serious power.

    BIG DEE HERE= Nino Bevenuti KO of Sandro Mazzinghi. It was a brutal one punch KO of the world Jr Middleweight champion. The uppercut was a thing of beauty and brutality. IT WAS ALSO THE ONLY TIME IN SANDRO MAZZINGHI`S CAREER HE WAS EVER KOed AND MAZZINGHI WAS NO CHUMP.
    HE WAS A GREAT JR MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPION.

    Anybody think that the second right hand from hearns on cuevas was better than the first?
    I feel the first right hand landed with tommy a bit off balance,but the second had full leverage on it...The scary thing is that im not sure that either punch landed flush on the lower jaw as opposed to the duran punch...

    Jefferson V Harris... Great shot....
    Toney v Williams ... wow...
    Tyrell Biggs v Tony Anthony.. hard to find but very nice clip..
    Witherspoon v Ecklund.. Power indeed..
    Bruno v Jameson short fast uppercut.. great..
    Nunn v Kalambay.. Strange because Nunn wasn't a puncher...
    Hearns v Duran.. Like gun fight.. he looked like he had been shot dead..
    Hearns v Shuler Saw a gap, aimed and landed.. good night..

    Yes, Nino could indeed punch, as the ko over Luis Rodriguez also proves. That was a shot that would have even Bob Foster would have been proud of.

    I have many, many favorite ko punches, the first being the great right hand that Marciano used to pulverize Walcott with, but another is one I was watching yeaterday, and that was the one that Julian Jackson used to ko Terry Norris with in 2. In slow motion it appears that he shortened the punch right at the instant before it landed. Seeing that made the punch even more awesome to me.

    Weaver's KO over Tate was as pictureque a knockout as I've seen. For sheer drama, it's hard to top, imo.
