What is the best knockout punch you've ever seen?

The MSM-Mwale KO was a memorable one, Chuck. Good call.

I'd like to see the Jimmy Paul ko of Alvin "Too Sweet" Hayes again, but it's not up anywhere now.

 

Tim Witherspoon's crushing one punch ko of giant Swede Anders Eklund. The side of Eklund's face looked literally caved in!

 

Tyson vs Michael Johnson, knocked Johnson's out cold along with his teeth.

Foreman looked like a man leisurely crossing the street as he closed in for the kill against Cooney, before sending him crashing down to the canvas for the count with that vicious uppercut.

George was a bad, bad man.

 

So many over the yrs. W.Benitez round house right to M.Hope, Hearns righthands to Cuevas, Duran , And Shuler. M.Mccallum's left hook to D.Curry. Tyson's hook to the temple of Berbick. Tyson's right to body,the right uppercut to M.Frazier.(brutal). R.Jones right to the body of V.Hill. R.Robinson's l hook to Fuller, R.Leonard left hook to D.Green(beautiful and brutal at the same time).

 

Saensak Muangsurin KO1 Rudy Barro is pretty brutal. Barro is the aggressor and Muangsurin (in his first non-kickboxing fight) almost looks like he maybe doesn't belong in the ring with the far more experienced Barro. Barro connects with a hard left to the head and Muangsurin retaliates with an absolutely crushing right to the jaw and it's over. Another one of those "Why is the ref even bothering to count?" fights, although I did like the ref's "conducting an orchestra" counting style.

 

Not much love for the body-shot KO. Golovkin vs Macklin we got a sickening liver shot complete with delayed reaction, likewise Hopkins vs De La Hoya. Cool thread.

 

The punches that stand out in my memory are the aforementioned SRR KO of Rocky Graziano and Rocky Marciano's KO of Rex Layne. Two more that have not been mentioned (probably because they weren't quite KOs but I need to add anyway) are the first Joe Frazier - Jimmy Ellis fight. In the 4th round the left hook that Joe lands for the second knockdown is stunning. Jimmy, however, did get up but another punch was never thrown because it was stopped between rounds. But I loved that shot. Also, the first knockdown Donald Curry scored against Milt McCrory. That left hook was sublime. Amazingly, McCrory too got up from that one and was a sitting duck for the followup punch. But that one left hook was simply amazing.

Hard to say which one was the best but one that always comes up in my mind is the punch that Donald Curry landed on Milton McCrory in the second and conclusive knockdown. Don appears to stroll casually over to Milton and places the right hand perfectly. Almost like he was measuring his opponent up for it on the brief walk over.

 

Louis v Braddock was awesome in both power and correctness.

 

Not the greatest, but impressive finishes at which I was present. Colin Jones v Kirkland Laing.

This is my all time favourite great right hand that knocks the arrogant ***** into next week.
