When "Lethal Weapon" Joe Savage made good on all his boasts about beating Lennox Lewis and Mike Tyson in the same night and lasted a whopping 70 seconds with a disinterested Bert Cooper who looked like he was swatting a mildly irritating gnat. Besides that, Foreman kayoing Moorer is a good shout and worthy of many the rewatch. As is Curry sending McCrory into sleepy time.
Lennox Lewis KO Hasim Rahman for me. A perfectly placed punch, if you will, plus all the added needle and revenge aspect. Honorable bodyshot mention for Roy Jones v Virgil Hill.
I really don’t think I can narrow it down But 1990 had of my favorites all time This content is protected This content is protected
Rocky Marciano wins the title on September 23, 1952 against Jersey Joe Walcott with the greatest "one punch" KO in history. Decked for the first time in his career...cut and blinded for 4 rounds...had the s**t beat out of him...behind on all scorecards...and then in the 13th round..."BANG"...he throws the greatest right hand ever and wins the title!
Kostya Tszyu making Zab Judah do the chicken dance. Foreman vs Cooney for its brutality. I genuinely thought he had killed Cooney for a second. Foreman vs Moorer for the history of it.
I personally think this might be the greatest KO of all time, looking at how Marciano was losing that fight and what was at stake.
There was a Mike Tyson KO in 1990 after he lost to Douglas forgot the opponent which was savage and always comes to mind. It was a brutal shot to the head.
Having a soft spot for Wilfredo Gomez and Wilfred Benitez, I always think of their knockouts of Royal Kobayashi and Maurice Hope, respectively. But my favorite knockout and the best in history, I think, is Floyd Patterson ko5 Ingemar Johhansson.
