Lots of competition here. That video Cut Me Mick posted a while ago, a fight in Mexico where one guy is being battered round the ring for most of the round, is on the verge of being stopped and then sparks the other guy with a left hook would do it for me, if that's in this decade. Anybody know where that is on Youtube? I'd like to see that one again. :)
I think your talking about "Locomotora" Castro vs. "Action" Jackson I...
Not only is it a great knock out, it's a great fight and is argueably the greatest comeback in boxing history. Up there with Moore-Durelle, JCC-Taylor, Reagan-Dempsey and Chacon-Limon IV.
John D. Jackson was out boxing and beating the crap out of Jorge Castro for 8 full rounds and most of the 9th and then it happened...

It wasn't a world title fight, it was something (I think) from Mexico on Telefutura or something like that. And I'm pretty sure it was the opening round, although I could be wrong. The guy was getting battered, staggering round the ring, could have been stopped a few times then produces a massive (I think) left hook and sparks the guy with one punch.
Ahhhhh...
Your talking about the greatest 1 rd. fight in the history of boxing.
No other 1 round fight like this one...

Not sure if it was the knockout of the decade, but it was a thing of pure, boxing perfection: Pacquiao vs. Hatton
Although never a fan of Hatton, I was a bit worried with the way his head hit the canvas - absolutely brutal K.O. However, I didn't expect Hatton to make it past the 5th. He barely made it past the 1st.
