    Wilfred Benitez" brutale Knock out of Maurice Hope! Or Jack Johnson's Knockout of Stanley Ketchel, You can actually see Johnson brush his Glove with the other hand, because a couple of Ketchel's teeth were embedded into Johnson's right Glove!

    Did anyone mention Pettway Brown? Ughh. That is hard to watch.

    Marciano vs Walcott #1. Given the stakes, challenger losing to a good champ in the 13th round, then whhaaaammmmm.


    Mike Weaver vs big John Tate. Similar situation, totally outboxed for 14 + rounds then, bammm, Timbeeeeer.....

    I showed that knockout to my folks one day and they both gasped at the sound Lennox made with that punch. There's no way ANY fighter would be able to win after getting hit with a perfect one-two like that

    Of course. Nat Fleischer called Paycheck "The Hitless Wonder"
    :lol:. Louis nearly decapitated him with every punch he threw...whether he landed or not!

    Agreed :good

    This must have been thrown on pure instinct - Benn did not know here he was in that round - he was being hammered by Logan, took a wild swing - missed and nearly fell over - then brought the right uppercut (if I recall correctly) up from the floor to drop him - brilliant!!
