ESPN 20 Greatest KO's

[Violent Demise]

marble don't let the "no responses" discourage you...
It happens often with threads that make people think and or have to read a lot.

Go and create a thread with any of these titles and watch the magic work:
Naz vs. ______ <----- Insert any of these name's JMM, Morales, Pacquiao
Tyson vs. ______ <----- Insert any of these name's Ali, Wladdy, Vitaly
RJJ vs. _______ <----- Insert any ATG name from Middle to LHW.

these threads have been done to death but people tend to respond to them....
The way I see it when I create threads is a view is as good as comment.
Hey! at least people are taking the time to view and read your post.

As for the list... I'm gonna throw some out that I think are often overlooked.
I also think that bodyshots are vastly underrated. KO'ing someone while hitting them in the face good. KO'ing them with a shot to the body even better.

Gavilan vs. Cartier
Ruddock vs. Dokes
Toney vs. Williams
Ike vs. Jack 1
RJJ vs. Hill
MAB vs. Fana
Nunn vs. Sumbu
McCallum vs. Curry
Lewis vs. Rahman 2
Zapata vs. Nakajima
Benitez vs. Hope

It's actually a good thing some fools don't post a list. All you see is 20 Manny Pacquiao fights listed

[DopeyKev]

I'd have Tyson vs Spinks on there.

I thought about that one. It'd be on the list of 25.

Ahh how true.... And the body shot KO really tends to show the true pain a fighter feels. I must admit my statistical knowledge isn't massively broad but love learning more where i can and this post about body shots
did get me tapping away on my keyboard.... Although plagurised this is a list from back in 2007 by ESPN journo of the top 10 bodyshot KOs:

10) Jorge Barrios v Janos Nagy
9) Glenn McCory v Jeff Lampkin
Diobelys Hurtado v Randall Bailey
7) Roy Jones Jr v Virgill Hill
6) Ricky Hatton v Jose Luis Castillo
5) Arturo Gatti v Leo Dorin
4) Gerry Penalosa v Jhonny Gonzalez
3) Jorge Arce v Tomas Rojas
2) Mickey Ward v Alfonso Sanchez
1) Oscar De La Hoya v Bernard Hopkins

Again, not my list but an interesting read. I wouldn't claim to it either but a good thread that got my attention.

That's a fun list too! But did all the great body stoppages really happen post 1980? I'd put the LaMotta destruction of Dauthuille on there for starters.

[Master]

Curry's left hook against MCrory is the most perfect shot I have seen, I had to rewind it many times and pause it because it was so perfect.

Fair enough!

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

The MAB v Fana one was hilarious. The look his face when the 1st punch landed.

[Fenster]

Julian Jackson, on the verge of defeat, one-punching Herol Graham unconcious, leaving him with loose teeth in his gumshield deserves to make any list.

[Dark Lord Al]

Curry v McCrory was a perfect left hook ,
how about Mike McCallum v Don Curry for a left hook.

Hearns V Duran.

Barkley v Hearns was a big ko.

I am ashamed of myself for forgetting this one. This is one of my favorite KO's ever, good call. Talk about suddeness

I think the British commentary added to it's greatness

[BIG H]

My favourites are...

Ruddock vs Dokes
Tiger vs Foster
Marciano vs Walcott
