Pacquiao KO of Hatton,most devestating since Hearns-Duran

[porkypara]

Lets not get carried away here, there's been plenty of other KO's as good as Hatton/Pacquiao since Duran/Hearns. Michael Nunn vs Sumbu Kalambay comes to mind straight away.

Ask your avrage British sports fan who is Michael Nunn or Sumbu Kalambay you will get a blank look.

Ask them who is Hearns or Duran you will get a different answer.


READ THE THREAD!

I did read the thread title and your first post, and you said it was the best KO since Roberto Duran vs Thomas Hearns at the high level right ? Michael Nunn, Sumbu Kalambay, were top level fighters.

I don't get what your saying so just because armchair fans wouldn't of heard of Michael Nunn, Sumbu Kalambay, it doesn't count ?

Any person that follow's boxing would know who they are, and since it earned the first ever KO of the year. I would say it is a pretty well known amongst proper boxing fans.

And it was even more shocking because Sumbu Kalambay had a world class chin, and he had beaten the likes of Herol Graham, Iran Barkley, Steve Collins, Mike McCallum.

And also add to the fact that Michael Nunn wasn't known as a big puncher was even more shocking, and i'd say it was even more shocking and brutal than Manny Pacquiao vs Ricky Hatton was.

Ok,maybe I could have made myself more clear by what I ment by top level.

I ment in a fight which is important to the whole world of sport not just to a few hard core boxing fans.


Having read the thread and some of the replies I think Lewis's KO of Rahman might have been better and more important.
