Most Enjoyable Knockout?
What is everyone's favourite knockout? Not nessecarily the best, but the one that you personally enjoyed most at the time.
I'll kick us off with Lewis-Rahman II.
I never wanted to see anyone KO'd as bad as i wanted to see Rahman go. I thought the way he behaved between the first and second fight was a disgrace. Then the knockout itself, the sound - like the double thud of a pillow, the commentators - 'they're telling him no to counter-punch...Boom!Boom!'. The way Rahman fell like Wurzel Gumidge (sorry non-UK users), And finally the fact that Lewis did it one round earlier than Rahman did it to him.

Re: Most Enjoyable Knockout?
Mayweather KOing Hatton remains my all-time favourite, although Corrales stopping Castillo on his feet runs it close.

Re: Most Enjoyable Knockout?
favorite recently is Pavlik over Taylor, not sure why I was so excited by that, I'm not a huge fan of Pavlik but I guess I was just over Taylor as MW champ.

Honorable mention to Arguello's KO of Billy Costello.

Re: Most Enjoyable Knockout?
"Enjoying" a knock out seems a bit sick. I normally feel sorry for the guy that gets sparked. But it would be a lie to say I didn't cheer for certain KOs...
I cheered Froch doing Taylor in the final round.
Khan getting sparked was good because of a big winning bet.
Oscar sparking Mayorga was good because I was told by someone that I didn't know boxing for picking Oscar by KO.
Audley getting sparked was great because he's a cunt.

Yea, see your point. I myself USUALLY feel sorry for the guy, and would never want to see someone getting seriously hurt, but nobody can deny the enjoyment of certain knockouts, this is boxing after all. I should have used a better word maybe :-\, but then The Ring magazine have a knockout of the year, so they clearly enjoy them :)

Roy Jones Jr vs Montell Griffin II
Maybe not Jones' best but after Griffin acted so stupid after he clearly lost in the first fight I got lots of satisfaction after seeing him trip all over the ring.
Oh ya and...
Amir Khan vs Breidis Prescott :D :P

I agree an odd choice of words however in the spirit of the thread the KO I enjoyed the most had got to be KZ, Zab Judah.

I think I made two posts about how Jones used to rub me the wrong way. That knockout has to be one of my favorites ever!
Personally, I think I would have to go with Pacquiao vs Morales II or Pacquiao vs Hatton.

Re: Most Enjoyable Knockout?
Mosely knocking out Ricardo Mayorga in the last second of their fight causing Larry Merchant to exlaim 'Shane Mosely, I love you!' was pretty awesome.

Mosely may have struggled that night but he ended it looking like a legend :cool:

Re: Most Enjoyable Knockout?
Sadly my favourite is probably the most tainted of all, Benn V McLellan.
The actual stoppage itself and the lead up in terms of a real battle puts it up there with the best fights of all time. The overall outcomes releagates it to being one of the least favourites for all the wrong reasons.
Before anyone has a go at me for picking this , I must say that on the recent anniversary of the fight someone put a post on the BBC website being critical of GM and his involvement in dog fights etc.and his not being a great person, I complained to the BBC and had this removed as it was irrelevant in terms of boxing.
This was two warriors going at it with a drastic outcome resulting from a great display of courage from both.

Re: Most Enjoyable Knockout?
My favorite is Julian Jacksons come from behind KO of Herol "BUMMER" Graham , remember shouting for joy when that happend.
Also Michael Nunns KO of Sambu Kalambay was a real shocker.
