Top 20 one Punch KOs in Boxing History

There are many glaring omissions but its a good list of KO's I guess. Mosley/Mayorga is surely not one of the greatest KO's of all time.
 
Also, Piano Man by Billy Joel.
 
Haven't looked at the list but guessing this isn't on it. One my favorite ko's i always post this in these types of threads. Nothing fancy, just pure power. Bailey was never the greatest fighter but really one of the great pure punchers of this era if not all time.

Where is Mickey Rourke over Elliott Seymour? Terrible list.
 
I remember watching herol graham vs Jackson. Jackson must have been one of the hardest hitting guys p4p in that ere along with Gerald mclelan. I bet bomber still has nightmares about that right hook. He probably would've stopped Jackson by the end of the round and been a world champ. He absolutely dominated until that punch

My favourites were Stephen smith and Tim witherspoons kos
 
Do you agree with this list?

It's not bad, but there's a few odd ones certainly, especially if it's in order. I don't think it's in order though as the Pac KO would be in front of the Hatton KO if it was (or at least it should be).

I never understand why they have to throw the obligatory Tyson one in. There are many better single punch KO's than the Botha one, particularly as he was trying to get up straight away (though he certainly didnt make it :confused:). Tyson vs Gross is better I think as is Tyson vs Johnson. Lewis vs Rahman II for example is a better heavyweight replacement and Parker used the same combo to exactly the same effect on Costa recently!! Briedis vs Charr another great recent one.

I don't know. There's just so many great ones. Gonzalez vs Stevenson for recent fights is a really scary one. Hearns vs Cuevas and Schuler of course. Some more recent ones are Canelo vs Kirkland and as mentioned above, Fig vs Bailey (Bailey has a few that could go on here), Foster vs Quarry and Tiger are both epic as is Foster vs Frazier. Banks vs Miranda is already a classic. Pettway vs Brown is amazing. Duran vs Lampkin, Bizarro and Huertas.

Jackson vs Graham is rightly there, but he's also got genuine classics just as good against Drayton, Norris, Baek, and Powell just to name a few. He's got many more though and one of my favourites, this sneaky little lead hook that he feints as a jab and goes straight behind the guys parry. Crazy KO! Can't remember his name though...maybe Milton or Negron?

There's just too many. You could go on forever. Mwale vs Saad should always be on these. Amazing uppercut!
 
the most aesthetic KO of all time.

it looked unreal at the time. like it was super human. you couldn't even see the punch straight out of a larger than life movie.

it was like a force of nature that just errupted spinks backwards and stretched him out.


and the legend of Tyson was born

Wait so is that KO on there?

Also If Robinsons left hook KO of Fulmer is not number 1 then that list can lick my taint.

I watched this last night and don't recall any fights from before 1980 listed on there. Kind of silly to title a video "in boxing history" when the first 90 years of it aren't even represented.

Probably compiled by some hack.
