    There's a lot to choose from--but if I had to pick one that stands apart it would be Thomas "the Hit Man" Hearns KO of Roberto Duran in June 1984. That right hand would have KO'd a Woolly Mammoth!! WHAT a shot--WOW!! (STILL get chills every time I watch it--pure DETONATION!!)

    I don't have a favorite knockout, but with Hearns you made me think of Hagler Vs. Hearns.

    Oh man... I started laughing thinking about it. McCallum's knockout of Curry will always take the place as my favorite. Don was working Mike real well, but all he had to do was leave that right down ONCE.
    Just watch him get laid out like that kid from Pet Sematary.

    Marquez-Pacquaio. I was one of the lucky ones who attended as well. I’ll never forget that one.

    Cant think of any other fight where it looked so much like someone just got their switch turned off….

    Man Abraham had freakish power.

    I can’t narrow it down to one

    SRR-Fullmer 2 and Curry-McCrory might be my favorite left hooks ever thrown, with Spinks-Pops, Saad-Mwale and Tank-Santa Cruz probably there for uppercuts

    But there’s so many for knockouts. Ruddock-Dokes, Lewis-Rahman 1-2, Pacquiao-Hatton, Hearns-Duran, Marciano-Walcott 1, Jefferson-Harris, Jackson-Graham, etc…just off the top of my head.
