Hardest Single Punch you ever saw in a fight

[brocktonblockbust]

I stıll say ıt was George Foreman's 2nd knockdown of Joe Frazier ın theır fırst fıght ın Kıngston. It was about 2:30 seconds ınto Round 1. It was an uppercut, a sıngle uppercut that I really wonder how many ordınary people ıt would have serıously kılled. How Frazıer even stayed conscıous after that shot, let alone get up and fıght on, ıs stıll beyond me to thıs day.

The shot that Lewis hit Rahman with sounded like someone driving an axe through a basketball. Love that sound.

Tyson's shots sounded like that too.

Julian Jackson on Herrol Graham.... it was a sickening punch.

The other one I can remember was the shot Dereck Jefferson laid on Maurice Harris- the ko punch. Mouth-piece went flying in the opposite direction of the punch.

It was really sad to see Harris nearly decapitated..

The United States Government

The 'punch' that they landed on Cassius Clay in April 1967.

It put the guy out for nearly 3 1/2 years.

For me the single hardest shot I ever saw was the right hand from Shavers that put Holmes on the ground. I still don't know how Larry got up, and then to go on and win the fight was even more amazing.

Some honorable mention shots:
1) Roy's body shot stoppage of Virgil Hill. Cracked vertebrae!!!
2) Manny's ko shot on Hatton. Sounded like a shotgun blast and ruined Hattons career.
3) Sergio Martinez ko of Paul Williams. Pretty much the same as Manny's ko of Hatton.
4) Sam Peter destroying Jeremy Williams
5) Lennox first big right in Ruddock.
6) Douglas uppercut of Tyson

Maybe it was Hatton's chin not being up to it towards the end, but that knockout against Pac was one of the worst things I have seen in boxing. Out cold for minutes. Maybe Martinez against Williams too.

5) Lennox first big right in Ruddock.

my man!!

What a punch that was. Made Ruddock's legs do some kinetic energy transference type....

BASICALLY TURNED HIM INTO A NEWTON'S CRADLE

[El Kabong]

Rocky Marciano's Suzy Q on Walcott "THE PUNCH"
Tommy Hearns' laser right cross on Roberto Duran
Earnie Shavers' explosive right on Larry Holmes I'm amazed Larry got up

[p4pking]

Deontay Wilders left hook on Malik Scott.
A jab Paulie Malignaggi landed once, can't remember which fight but it was for sure the second hardest punch I've ever seen.

[mikeeod]

Couple more I thought of during my last flight:
1) Roy's left hook on Griffin.
2) Roy's left hook of Thomas Tate.
3) Foreman's ko of Moorer.
4) Hearns right hand on Cuevas.
5) G-Man ko of Julian Jackson where he sent Jackson sliding out of the ring.

Nunn knocking out Kalambay and McCallum knocking out Curry were unique in the sense that they were not known for their 1 punck KO and never did it again in their career.

Also Holmes chin must be something because he got knocked down hard with Tyson's right cross as well.

roy when he popped that dudes eardrum.

[Beanflicker]

Considering the power and the size of the man throwing the punch... probably Sam Peters/Jeremy Williams.

Good call also Cooney vs Norton, that was nasty
