One of my favorites: Holyfield vs Rodriguez
Rodrigues was out before reaching the canvas.

"Derek Jefferson, I love you"

 

The post fight interview on this is classic
"Albert would you like to fight him again?
"Oh uh.. No."
"Once was enough I guess"

 

I don't have a favourite because there's too many i like, but here's a few i enjoy that haven't been mentioned.

Weaver vs Tate
Witherspoon vs Eklund
Brock vs Lawrence
Peter vs Williams
Ali vs Williams
Cooper vs Erksine 3
Frazier vs Foster
Ruddock vs Dokes
Tua vs Ruiz
Foreman vs Cooney

 

Can’t forget Thunder vs Crawford.

Jimmy’s was the first punch, the last punch, the ONLY punch of the fight. The main camera barely had time to zoom in and capture the shot landing.

Until the KO, I guess you’d could call it the closest fight ever as neither man held even the slightest edge over the other prior to.

 

I’ll second Lewis v Rahman II.

I understand it might not fit the bill in the most strict, technical terms but for all intents and purposes…..I’ll give it a pass…what a way to exact revenge and win your belt back! I was actually nervous for Lewis - another KO loss, all over red rover and the legacy comes crashing down.

If he came in too timid and cautious due to the prior KO loss who knows how it might’ve gone down?

Instead, Lennox took the fight by the scruff of the neck from the outset like a true ATG and punctuated his dominance with that almighty single punch KO. It couldn’t have been done any better, seriously.

 

Mike Hercules Weaver KO 15 of Big John Tate on March 31 1980.

 

Well, who can blame him? xD

 

It’s one of best shots I’ve ever seen….set up punch or not

 

I know McCallum put on the lbs as he got older, but calling him a Heavy is pushing it!


As mentioned in the opening post, perhaps all are measured against Walcott's KO of Charles.


I have a soft spot for one armed Danny Williams turn around win over Potter. A bit of a cheat as Potter did get up, but one sweeping left all but got the job done.

 

Norton KO3 Stephens

 

Good call. Ken had softened Stephens up somewhat with the left hook that was getting through easily. But the final left hook was a beaut - and gentleman boxer Norton knew it was enough, he held off though he could’ve easily landed another 1-2 punches before Randy fell. Just as well he did hold off, an extra shot or two could’ve had tragic consequences.

 

I once made a video of the knockout. Here it is:

What a gentleman Ken was. He also held back against Pedro Lovell too

 

Such a vicious walk off KO, Stephans was out cold on his feet and Ken walks away like an average man in the streets of New York.
