    Saved my sanity with Martinez/Williams II. I was shocked not to have seen that almost 3 pages in. That's my choice. Although there are many solid picks like Lewis/Rahman II and Abraham/Gevor(which you also picked) Have to say I disagree with your Lee KO though, the Jackson KO was much better because it had brutality mixed with high drama.

    The high drama, yes, and it was far more satisfying, but damn, the Daniels KO is far cooler looking.

    I’m not sure if I can narrow down to one. Ruddock-Dokes is up there. I love the Curry-McCrory KD because it was such a quick, short left hook. Milton was done even though Mills Lane let it go on.

    M. Spinks-M. Johnson, Robinson-Fullmer 2, Marciano-Walcott 1, Jackson-Graham, Lewis-Rahman 1-2, Pettway-Brown... all among my favorites.

    The famous picture of Marciano’s glove hitting Walcott and Jersey’s face all contorted is actually earlier in the fight. You can tell from their positions in the ring.

    But there’s another good pic of the KO shot after Rocky has just landed and Walcott still looks all contorted.

    Bump, Some beautiful picks in here.

    My real priority however, is making sure that the maximum number of fans on this planet possible see the obscure knockout I started this thread with. It's THAT good... :lol:

    Nurrrrrrrrrrsssssssse!

    18-year old Kostya Tszyu at the Seoul Olympics in 1988.

    What a great find.

    Tszyu knew how to handle southpaws, even back then.

    My personal favourite involving the 32-year old Kostya Tszyu.

    Nearly 14 years on, he's still hitting home runs.

    It's important not to ignore the acoustics of these things.

    I particularly like the thud of the punch as it lands.

    lol Yes it's great to see that footage, I wish there was a lot more of amateur Tszyu than there is I could watch him all day.

    I remember Tszyu landed a body shot on the ribs of Corey Johnson that sounded like a gun going off. I'm a fan of the acoustics and in particular the loud thud of a punch when it lands clean.

    Too many... but for the sake of naming just one ill go Martinez vs Williams. I was a fan of both guys so the KO ruined my night (devistated for Williams) but historically one of the best KOs since Ive been watching boxing.

    Liver shot KOs. Extremely painful, kind of humiliating but no permanent damage done.
