    Was it George Foreman Lifting Fraizier off the ground with a punch?

    One of Earnie Shavers punches to some poor unfortunate low ranking guy?

    I'd have to say the left hook by Razor Ruddock that rendered Michael Dokes unconscious. Ruddock nearly took Dokes's head off with that hook.

    I like the right Louis landed on Braddock as being the most destructive punch i've seen at HW. Interesting that Louis himself seemed to like the bodypunch he used to stop Burman.

    Good shout on Braddock, the sound of Louis' right hand landing was crazy, Braddock said he could've stayed on the canvas for 2 weeks.

    Foreman's uppercut that lifted Frazier off the canvas has to be up there.

    Baer's KD of Comisky and Schmeling, both were the result of the sheer physical power of the shot.

    Marciano KO of Walcott, the slo mo of Walcott's face turning to pudding was amazing

    P4P Hearns over Duran and Jackson over Graham with the subsequent "OHHHHHH NOOOOO THAT'S WHAT WE WERE WORRIED ABOUT" :lol:

    I really like the right uppercut, left hook combo Louis did to stop Galento, someone who had never been on the canvas in his amateur career, sparring or over 100 pro fights.

    I think he means Richard Ihetu.

    Razor Ruddock's KO punch against Bonecrusher Smith is quite an overlooked bomb.

    That overhand right Morrison did, forgot against who, had him out for ages IIRC.

    It's also one of the most beautiful feints you will ever see.

    I like the first punch Tyson hit Holyfield with in the first round of the first fight. Holyfield went flying across the ring

    That same punch Koed guys like Golota and Botha but Holyfield recovered well

    I never saw this knockout. I didn't even know Razor knocked out Bonecrusher. Ruddock sees a targer and loads up from way low. Ruddock must have been landing to the body previous to this a little since Bonecrusher seems to anticipate a body punch and lowers his right arm a little, which made him separate his gloves which Ruddock slips in the uppercut in between. He did something similar to Dokes, but Dokes was totally knocked cold I think.
