Whats the top 3 punches that youve seen connect in a Boxing match thru the years

Should create some interest and all down to opinions and who has seen what, but to get started and off the top of my head...and in no particular order..

Tommy Hearns straight right hand vs James "Black Gold" Shuler..
Azuma Nelson hook/upercut vs Pat Cowdell...
Byron Mitchell vs Joe Calzaghe....

All of them landed by what was considered at the time Bangers, and all night night sleep tight punches.....except someone forgot to tell Joe he was'nt meant to get up lol :boxingmatch:

Hearns hitting Duran with that vicious KO blow.. i don't think i've seen a punch land so flush.

#1 Michael Sprott knocking out Audley Harrison
#2 Michael Sprott knocking out Audley Harrison
#3 Michael Sprott knocking out Audley Harrison


;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Shall we have another look at it?

I very nearly put that one in, in place of the Shuler one bud....it was a shot and a half wasn't it the same as the Shuler shot, the only reason I chose that one instead was by virtue of Shuler being a hot unbeaten fighter at the time (At least I think he was) :beerchug:

LOL Nice one Big Dan, how about Trevor Berbick when being asked does Mike Tyson hit that hard, he replied he hits that hard he knocked me down three times with one punch lol :badass:

In all seriousness, if your going for picture perfect 1 punch KO's I know of a few from the history, my knowlegde isn't all the great but George Foreman's KO of Gerry Cooney sticks in my mind, Cooney was sleeping on Foreman's glove like a pillow.

Hey remember when Heavyweight boxing involved people trying to actually fight?

Earnie Shavers -vs- Jimmy Ellis 1973


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygN07tWdxpA




Larry Holmes -vs- Earnie Shavers II 1979


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogiPvgoSa6w

Now then BDMc that is going back a while ain't it, if my memory serves correct I think they actually looked like athletes too back then lol :beerchug:

Top three

1.Srr-Gene Fullmer 2 Sugar rays left hook

2.Thomas hearns Ko's Roberto duran, Paws to the body crushing strait right to the head

3.Im struggling to think at the mo but Lennox Lewis- Rahman 2 has to be in there i guess

Rahman cracking Lennox Lewis with that devastating, knock out shot in their first fight was a great one. There are many more, but that's the first that comes to mind.

Personally all i find that first fight ko as is a testiment to how stupid it is to move backwards with your hands down..Especially in the heavyweight game..

But On the other hand lennox lewis' return ko or rahman i feel was no only more powerful but he stepped into the punch, brilliant and fast like no heavyweight these days could offer.. it was litteraly a split second of timing to step in with that first punchand land it hard, if he hadnt of landed that first the second one wouldnt have been set up,

And GOTTDAMN thats a pretty knockout!
Lol

I think honourable mentions also go to

Roy Jones' unorthadox lefthook/uppercut that ko'd montell griffin in the second fight

And

Prince naseem Ko over Augie Sanchez

I gave maximum consideration to the quality of the knockoutee, so to speak, when making my decision:

1. Hearns KO's Duran: An all-time top 5 fighter goes down face first.
2. Foreman KO's Frazier (I): An undefeated champion in his prime, fresh off a defeat of the Greatest, flies up in the air and lands on the canvas.
3. Ali KO's Liston (II): The sneaky rabbit punch out of nowhere. Assuming you believe it was Ali, not the Mafia, that got to Liston, then this one was a testament to what great speed can do.

Ali vs Foreman ko was from barrage of punches i think this guy was asking whats 3 hardest punches you have seen connect meaning one punch not barrage of punches.

Liston was hit on the cheek by grazing blow it was fixed imo.

Cheers for that ICE COLD, and your right I was meaning the lights out single shots...Had I meant combos who remembers Dave Boy Green being given the sleeping tablets by Ray Leonard....at least he did'nt feel anything with that sweet combo (DBG That is) :badass:

Man there are so many that it's hard. But a couple that stick out are Tyson when he fought a guy who's name escapes me, one of his early, early fights. Is all I remember is he hit the guy so hard his feet looked like they came off the floor; I thought the guy would die. Then recently that Ding-a-Ling Wilson guy on Friday night fights absolutely destroyed Nwodo. I really thought that guy was going to r.i.p. My 3rd would have to be Oleg Maskaev k.o.ing Rahman through the ropes.

Hearns/Duran
Bob Foster's left hook on Mike Quarry
Ibeabuchi's left uppercut/hook on Chris Byrd

there so many i like the one chris eubanks vs. this guy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oi1JwB0rQ_s

but i like tyson vs. marvus frazier
evander vs. lou hat hook was beautiful to bad he didn't stay down
sam peter vs. williams and sykes
lewis and rahman 2 i was doing back flips all over the place

to much for me to decide

But ofcourse, who could forget this?...

Ice Cold: I didn't mention ali-forman, rather forman-frazier I (that last punch whre frazier got lifted off the ground).

a few others:

Hearns Vs Pipino Cuevas: Cuevas legs went all rubbery and wobbled for like forever.

J.Jackson Vs. T.Norris: Norris was outboxing him, then went flat on his face

Roy Jones vs Hill: kidney shot. always intersting when a fighter gets KO'd to the body

Hopkins vs. ODLH: ditto

ODLH vs Quartey: not a knockout, but the left hook that put quartey down in the final round was the difference in the fight, and one of the most dramatic punches in history.

Frazier Vs. ALI I: that left hook. no KO but beautiful to watch and perhaps the most famous punch in history

roy jones vs Kelly: the behind the back punch

Donald Curry knocking out Milton McCrory
Rafael Marquez knocking out Heriberto Ruiz
Erik Morales knocking out Angel Chacon

Foreman V Frazier....punch lifts Frazier off his feet!

McCallum V Curry.....one punch knockout!

Tszyu V Judah....I still get a kick out of it!

Off the top of my head:
1. Frazier's left hook against Ali in Round 15 of their first fight. This is the hardest, cleanest punch I have ever seen... and Ali was back up right away. Tells you something about Ali's chin and heart.
2. Tyson's right hand KO punch against Michael Jack Johnson.
3. Hearns' right hand that KO'd Duran.

Honorable mention: Julian Jackson's straight right that destroyed Terry Norris.

whoa!!! you read my mind with Mike's hook on Curry. i thought Curry had a good chance of winning that one.

Hearns straight right on Duran was a thing of beauty also.

and Samuel Peter's hook on Jeremy Williams was perfection.

Yeah they took a lot of fights off of Youtube for some reason. Yeah man the Augustus fight is a classic, right up there with the Gatti trilogy nonstop toe to toe.
