There is always great debates over the quickest or biggest kayos. The same ones always seemed to be mentioned. One that is clear in my mind that nobody ever mentions is Jimmy Thunder Vs Crawford Grimsey. That was Quick! Even Thunder was confused by what had just happened. Was this one of the best and quickest Kayos????
Tua vs. Ruiz?
Tua vs Ruiz,
Tua vs Moorer was pretty quick as well but not as fast.
Green - Codrington was quick and I heard he has the Golden Gloves record for quickest KO. Powell - Bundrage happened in a flash aswell.
The scariest ones were
Tua - Ruiz
not the quickest but just down right scary ones were:
Jones--Johnson
numerous Tyson KOs
and more recently Peter --Williams.
duran/hearns
that right hand was one of the most violent things I ever seen
beautiful
Never saw that one. I'll have to DLoad it.Quote:

of course hagler hearns was a quick explosive fight and the way hearns fell when ktfo was classic too
Green KO Coddrington may be the best ever. The poor kid Coddrington got layed out, face down through the ropes. And it only took 18 seconds.
And Hearns' KO of Duran was just brutal.
Green vs Codrington was the scary one because of the aftermath. And if Codrington was any more seriously hurt he may have died because of that aftermath.
Quick KO=Dokes vs Weaver
Biggest{not most brutal, but significant}Rahman vs Lewis 1
Hopkins vs Frank.
Quick, precise, pretty, hardcore...& Hops was a late call in for the fight.
The Terror. ;D
Hopkins Lipsey was more scary. And Hopkins basically ended his career ;)
I can't call the scariest, too many. But as far as biggest, I have to throw in Foreman over Moorer, because Moorer looked like he was going to the max, after beating Holy, then gets KOd by a legend who could be his father.
Agreed...but let me say this...the right hooks that Hopkins felled Mercado with were astonishing. Gotdam...that fwocker was insane with his KO ratio's back in the days.Quote:

But the uppercut he hit Lipsey with had him in suspented animation. It's greatness, but a little sad, because Lipsey could have been something, but his career was ended with that single uppercut. I wouldn't wish what happened to Lipsey on any fighter. It's saddening, yes, more saddening then the Fresh Prince hair cut Hopkins was sporting ;D
Morrison Vs Mercer, Morrison Vs Ruddock, Tyson Vs Spinks, Foreman Vs Moorer and the list goes on.
Mercer nearly killed you duke. It proves you're a tough SOB to get up from that and not be seriously damaged. :coolclick: for getting up from that. Did you ever sue that ref for not stopping it sooner? ;)
You want a big brutal knock out. Look at Derrick Jefferson knocking out Maurice Harris. One of the sickest left hooks you'll ever see.
BARKLEY VS VAN HORN is impressive fair play to van horn 4 gettin up from the first left hook.
Julian Jackson icing Herol Graham after losing every minute of every round beforehand.
Graham was unconscious as soon as he was hit and fell down like he was dead. Scary KO.
Also, watching Trevor Berbick fall over three times when Tyson whacked him out.
graham v jackson was very scary..... graham was winning everything up til thenQuote:
