Boxing's most Famed Punches.

Got this idea from the Herol Graham Thread:
Can you identify some punches that will go down in history, remembered forever for their effect or for their outcome on the result of a fight????
Here are some of my favourites:

1)Rocky Marciano slugging Walcott: Marciano/Walcott1
2)Julian Jackson terminating Herol Graham: Jackson/Graham
3)Julio Caesar Chavez's saving grace on Meldrick Taylor: Chavez/Taylor1
4)Muhammad Ali ripping hook to Oscar Bonavena!: Ali/Bonavena
5)Sugar Ray Leonard jab flooring Benitez: Leonard/Benitez

Keen to check out all you guys' favs.

The suzie q....When Marciano catches him with that he nearly takes Walcott's head off ....Brutal that punch is : :boxingmatch:

Referee Steel saved Chavez from lossing by SD, not from his punch.

Pacquiao's telegraphic and overused but still effective LEFT SATRIGHT ;D

cc main

have you seen whitaker vs. diosbelys hurtado

that was vicious also a good fight O0

Have to go with Smokin' Joe's Smokin left hook that floored Ali in the first fight.... sure it didn't knock him out, but it was a beautiful exclamation point for the fight of the century.

CC Returned, Ya i saw that! Whitaker could lacerate guys when he wanted to!

Another famed punch that didn end a fight was Benn vs Eubank 1. It had its own segment in a TV show. Benn landed an uppercut that caused Eubank to bite a chunk out of his tongue, visceral punch that.

oH AND THE PHANTOM PUNCH.

Spot on there Mr.Cosell, nice to meet you.

Tszyu's right hand on Zab

Nice to meet you as well, I've been around for quite some time, but I only get my two cent allowance every other month, so I have to use it sparingly ;)

He he well every contribution helps. Im actually comin along myself no longer a baby here :)

Ahhh, also I guess we should include Ali's "phantom punch" against Liston... as far as fame goes I doubt there's many that top that even if most people never saw it. ;)

Ingemar Johansons Hammer Of Thor
But on the flip Pattersons leaping left that caught Johansson in the second fight was damned impressive

It's been in so many avatars and stuff it's embedded in my head I think :)

Hammer of Thor was a Beaut, and he could throw it anytime.
Another brill punch was Rahman against Lewis 1, but the difference was that he can't throw it anytime.

SRR's left hook against Basilio was a topper.

Razor Ruddock's *smash* on Michael Dokes.

Jones body shot on Hill.

Julio Cesar Chavez's straight right on Meldrick Taylor.

If Johansson could have ever been bothered to train,it might have been him who Ali fought for the title

1 MAN STANDS OUT JULIAN THE HAWK JACKSON , right hand left hook didnt matter most times it was good night ;D

Its an obvious one but no doubt about it, that left hook was legendary! ;)

I have that on my mobile :D
I love showing it to peeps for the reaction on their face ::**

What about Mike Weavers hook on Big John Tate a mile behind on the scorecards going into last round then Weaver lands a hook and Tate goes face first into the canvas.

Bob Foster's left hook that decked Dick Tiger.

Even further back was another Bob by the name of Robert Fitzsimmon's who decked James Corbet after shifting (side-stepping into a south paw's stance) and landing a terrific left on Corbetts ribs right on the heart. Smashing ;D. There's film footage of that shot available. That shift became so famous after that fight that all fighters that performed it in later years would refer to it as the "Fitzsimmon's shift." On a side note the Fitzsimmon's shift was discovered by Mike Donovan who later taught it to Fitzsimmon's.

Marciano's Suzy-Q coined after a famous dance of the time was tremendous. Walcott's left eye swelled up so much he couldn't see it coming, it didn't help that the punch only travelled a mere 10 inches. ;D

On another side note, Gabriel "Flash" Elorde would coin the Elorde shift which in which he countered with a left to the head instead. At the time it was mostly referred to as the drop-shift, the shift, or the Fitzsimmon's Shift by some.

I seen Miguel cotto try to do the move on Zab Judah, but he failed to set Zab up properly.

I can't remember if this was against Vernon Forest but I remember that Roy Jones Jr. kayoed a guy with a whipping left hook that busted the guy's short ribs. That was terrific.

I always enjoy a fight won by a left hook on the liver, it's a hard punch to see coming at times, but its abruptness always leaves a dramatic ending.

Besides that with most punches you can always change the level, direction, and path that the punch travels. There's a lot of neat examples of strange punches by Patterson, Hagler, Chavez, and most fighters have their own unique punches, or something awesome that comes out of the spur of the moment. :)

Not exactly one punch but that combination Ali landed on Big George at the end was beautiful. It really stands out for me.

I can't believe Curry knocking out McCrory slipped my mind that was one of the best and quickest left hooks i've ever seen.

Curry vs McCallum aswell.

I can't believe the 1,2 combo that is shown in the highlight clips of Tyson Douglas where Buster is following through all the way to the ground it seems like that took out tyson not only that night but seems like the beginnning of the end for him in general

Hopkins retirement of Lipsey in 4!!

Kostya Tszyu's right cross finish on Zab Judah.

Bernard Hopkins liver shot finish against Oscar De La Hoya.

Ricky Hattons liver shot finish against Castillo (Broke 4 ribs. Count em'... 1, 2, 3, 4!)

De La Hoya's amazing left hook that finished Fernando Vargas.

The right hand that turned the tide for Corrales in Round 10 against Castillo.

The left hook by Miguel Cotto in the 1st minute of the Kelson Pinto fight. PSSHHT! (If you've seen it you'll know what I'm talking about ;) )

3 more words, Welcome to Manchester ;D

Jack Johnson vs that guy his name escapes me at the minute anyway Johnson hit him so hard supposedly his teeth were embedded in Johnson's glove gotta be one of the most famous punches.

I think the guy was orignally a Middleweight i know his name aswell just can't think of it.
