"Best KO ever" can be debated forever, but the absolute COOLEST reaction I've ever seen from a boxer that has just administered a KO has to be by Andy Lee when he KO'ed Carl Daniels in 2007.
The dude put his hand up in victory and turned away from Daniels while the poor guy was still standing, but unconscious and ready to keel over. Classic sh*t!
I thought Duran died as soon as he took that shot! I think the knockdown is exponentially shocking considering how big of a fight that was..
You want classic shiit check out Julian Jackson knocking out Buster Drayton. And watch as Jackson tells Drayton where to fallQuote:

This is another one of those similar to Hearns/Duran in the viciousness of the KO combined with how great the two fighters were

The beauty of this KO was that, Muhammad Ali unleashed just the exact amount of firepower to dispose of his opponent.Quote:

It was as if time slowed down…and allowed for all of this to take shape as innumerable flashbulbs record the time capsule for all of us boxing fans to enjoy. Brutality in boxing there is; beauty with Ali as the “concerto maestro”, there is too!
Maybe not the greatest, but certainly brutal. I was amazed Morrison ever got back in the ring!

Nice ATG one there.At one point in the third round Morrison landed a three punch combo that I'm convinced would have staggerd bad the very best of heavyweights.Uppercut ,left hook brutal....Mercer had a cro-mag cranium.Quote:

I'd have to mention the MM Hagler KO of Tommy Hearns, as one of the best I've ever seen.
He knocked Hearns cold even before the guy hits the ground. I guess it must've been one of those neck-snapping varieties that move the brain a cent thick, triggering an immediate unconscious state.

Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini vs Duk Kho Kim.
There's one that's brutal! The Korean fighter even died. I'm sure he did not intend to cement it with death, for its acclaim tho'. It destroyed Ray Mancini forever, unable to go all out in any of his succeeding fights, with that stigma hanging on his head.

This one was pretty brutal
Gotta put Chris Byrd's first L up there:
