... from the right hand Rocky Marciano landed on Jersey Joe Walcott?
It remains my favorite one-punch destruction through the ages and my father and I debate it often.
I maintain that it would have ended anyone's night. My dad says that's probably true until you fast forward to the rise of the giant European heavyweights.
Walcott was lucky his head was still attached after that detonation. What say you?
Who could have risen up to fight on?
For any that haven't seen it, Rocky saunters over to Joe in a fight that the Rock is behind on, just walks over without a care in the world, like he's at the park, and does his little glove roll that he liked, and whoops whats this? Ka-Blam!! Holy moly. Jesus, I thought he killed him. A right hand like nothing you've ever seen. Annnnnd splat, Joe is down and out and completely fu**ed and probably has no recollection of it to this day.
