You need an awardTo me it definitely belongs in the argument, but I think you'd have to partially argue it was the greatest kick ever on the basis of the level of competition/the stakes, which seems counter to your position about the greatest football catch.
It's just so subjective to rate these things that they all belong more in "tiers" then just saying one is objectively better than another. If we broke them down into sub-categories some people might say:
Creativity = Buckley vs. Kasanganay
Difficulty = Pettis vs. Henderson
Fluidity = Barboza vs. Etim
Level of Competition = Silva vs. Belfort
Situation/Stakes = Leon vs. Usman 2
To be fair Pettis vs. Henderson could be first in all those categories depending on how you feel about things, so maybe it is the greatest kick of all-time! I think if it had given us a clean KO instead of a knockdown that didn't even lead to a finish it would without a doubt be considered the best one ever.
It's just kind of tough to give it that reward out-right without the finish coming from the kick (it just being a "round winning" kick that produced a knockdown) - it sadly loses some of the luster of it's memorability to say "the greatest kick of all-time" didn't KO someone and didn't even lead to a KO of someone. Again, all subjective opinion anyways.
Thanks for starting the thread, always fun to revisit some of the most epic moments of violence we've witnessed in decades prior and discus what made them special.

Vs another soft opponent, the kick was on his body armor chest.
sure it was cool looking but to rank it among the best kicks in history is a stretch considering that it was an all foot and no shin slap kick that did no damage.. also it did no damage.. and it did no damage.. bendo immediately was up afterwards and going for a take down because it did no damage.. also it did no damage... did i also mention it did no damage.. how can u call it 1 of the best kicks considering it did no damage tho.. all the gifs of it cut up early to mask the fact that it did no damage.. in an overrated boring fight it was the deciding factor in a snoozy decision cause it did no damage... hey wait how is this considered a good kick since it did no damage?It was round 5 in a title fight. Back and forth action. Fight of the year candidate. The scorecards were 2-2. The kick won him the round and the fight. Doesnt get much more insane than that.
Ow! Ow! Ow! I've never seen that one before, and now I regret seeing it. Damn dude.Bonus

Check that accuracy
(joe rogans voice) hoeee nooooooo!no one has posted sean salmon against rashad?
and no, i mean the one thrown by sean.
Tony went down like he got shot. This is IMO one of the most violent KO's ever. I think to myself, I'd never want a KO like this to happen to me.This kick absolutely was the most brutal.
Very few KOs have ever given me the immediate reaction of 'Oh fuck he's dead.'
Not the best but a funny one
Rashad on salmon I thought he dieded. But yes, this was brutal.This kick absolutely was the most brutal.
