What is the most brutal/hardest punch you've ever seen in classical boxing ?

I remember thinking Sam Peter had killed Jeremy Williams with that left hook he landed, was brutal. Didn't read the title this isn't exactly Classical Boxing.

 

You and Boxed Ears should hang.

 

Man I see Boxed Ears everywhere

 

Marciano vs. Walcott
Foster vs. Tiger
Benitez vs. Hope

I seem to remember a really brutal shot in the Pintor vs. Owen fight, but I'm never watching that fight again, so I could be remembering wrong.

 

A while back we corresponded. He is an interesting dude.
He unlike me also likes to good-naturedly troll with absurdist posts (impersonating people, wild indefensible claims) & stories.
Anyone around NYC & wants to hang can just ask.

 

Cheers!

 

He's a Classic

 

What you are describing in part that Earnie hit Larry with is known as the Exorcist Punch.

He hit him so hard his head spun completely around.

 

I'm not trying to be rude but a number of you missed the part about "classical boxing". I doubt this means matches from the 2000s on, or even the 70s on, to be honest. I could be wrong but I get the impression the OP is referring to pre-70s, though he would have to clarify.

Anyways, the Marciano-Walcott II kayo is a great choice. Liston starching Westphal was vicious, too. So was Robinson vs. Fullmer II, Carter vs. Fernandez, Fullmer vs. Miceli, and Lausse vs. Varona.

 

Yup.

So sad to see him going through the ropes and trying to get back up, when the cameras got close up watching his demise i wish i was there to kick them cameras into their teeth..

 

By far, Eubank-Watson II uppercut.

 

Nelson KO Gomez is the most brutal knockout I've ever seen.. period

 

Wilfred Benitez right hand to the jaw of Maurice Hope, 1981.

 

Aha! The stuff of LEGENDS! Wooohooo!

 

I keep thinking of THAT uppercut Foreman knocked Frazier off his feet with. Eek.

Plus, that walking left hook Foreman finished Cooney off with.
