What Fight Pitted the Two Hardest Punchers Together?

[smashcrusher]

Which fight screamed knockout before it even materialized?

Even though I wasn't yet born, I'm pretty sure I would have known Frazier-Foreman wasn't going to go the distance.

Mugabi was shot before this fight. his peak was up to the hagler fight. so 38 ko's from 38 wins was irrelevant coming into this bout.

Have to distinguish between actual punch for punch bangers...threats who could drop you going backwards,etc... and some who just run up the numbers in friendly confines against straw houses.On pure numbers alone how about a George Foreman vs.Alex Stewart.Stewart was at 100% ko ratio,Foreman had just 4,5 total that went distance, 90 % ?Alex rendered Foreman almost unregonizable... as if he had tied a sack full of rats over his head.With a hard stiff jab leading the way .

Mcclellan vs Jackson P4P IMO... thats the first fight that popped into my mind when I saw the thread title... there was no way either of those was going the distance

Yeah you got my vote there

[TitoFan]

I voted Tyson vs. Ruddock. I'd seen a couple of Ruddock's previous scary KOs, and Mike wasn't exactly coming to box either. Matter of fact, Tyson later said he wanted to get to Ruddock early, before he could taste Ruddock's scary left hook. I also remember Tyson saying that "Razor Ruddock hits like a mule kick", a pretty good compliment from a scary KO puncher himself.

As a close second, I would've voted McClellan-Jackson.

P4P, Hagler-Hearns

[CutMeMick]

Norris vs. Jackson

[yoitsdan]

Jackson v G-man by a mile P4P. Both had ridiculous power and incredible technique. Benn v Barkley also deserves a very honourable mention. Maybe the best 1 rounder of all time?

[CutMeMick]
