The one that comes to mind always for so many years is in the first pryor vs arguello fight. coming in to the middle of the round 13th arguello caught pryor coming in with one of the hardest punches i'd ever seen pryor head snap back violently. looks like pryor was going to be decapitated. but he took the punch danced around and took arguello out with a flurry of punches in the 14th round. pryor even looked more freshed in the 14 round than in the 1st round. was arguello punch not that hard like in the lightweight division? i dont think so he ko kevin rooney with one right hand in the 2nd round and tko billy costello a former jr welterweight champion in the 4th round. as a matter of fact arguello could had ko any lightweight or jr welterweight in that fight with the exemption of pryor. Now if you analizes the punched arguello landed in the 13th round in a target point of viewed. it landed just besides the nose in the left cheek of pryor. if arguello could had landed that right hand just 4 inches lower in the point of pryor's chin maybe could had been another history. i do rememeber the issue of the ring magazine in january of 1983. Arguello with his analitical mind explaining reporters he never nailed pryor in the point of the chin. he told the reporters he landed the punches between the jaw and the ear. maybe, i have analized the fight so many times. arguello trying maybe to explain why pryor took so many hard punches and no showing effect.

I think it was the 8th round when Barkley hit Duran with a big left hook as Duran missed with his own, right on the point of the chin with Duran's momentum taking him full on into the punch.
That one always sticks in my mind.

mike tysons last big effort that floored douglas and nearly decapitated him but douglas came back after tyson put everything into that shot. it was once described as "tysons best sunday punch" i like that description of it

oh yes i do remember barkley landed that left hook on duran caught duran flush on the chin. duran eyes were very glassy at the moment when he took the punch. i still can heard the snap of that punch. i'm just wondering too how a 37 year old man took that punch and then came back with a combination and floored barkley in the 11th. and almost ko barkley. and sure the tremendous right uppercut tyson landed on douglas too. and still douglas came back and ko tyson.

Lennox Lewis landing a wicked uppercut on Vitali Klitschko that would have finished most fighters. That was where Vitali's chin became a legend.

marchegiano007 · Post by **marchegiano007** » 06 Mar 2009, 15:38

Yes that's right tremendous right uppercut by lewis and klischtcko came back with a combination. great chins. all fo this fighters.Iran barkley thought because he ko hearns in 3 rounds he was going to ko duran. But barkley forgot the duran that was ko by hearns was 5 years earlier. duran was spended since the first round having to lose 40 pounds in 2 months for the hearns fight and having to lose 30 pounds in 2 months in the 2nd leonard fight. after duran won the first leonard fight. he struggle to make weight for the rest of his boxing career look at de la hoya he look spended against packiao. insted of coming with 15 pounds more. he chose to come light at the fight big mistake. and packiao look the bigger and the stronger man. the same with roy jones after winning one of the belts against ruiz. he came down to the light heavbyweight division and lost 2 fights by ko is too bad to gain and lose weight. after those 2 loses his body adjust well again in the 175 pounds and roy jones looked strong again.

The left hook that Joe Frazier hit Muhammad Ali with, in the fifteenth round of their first fight, had knockout written all over it. When Muhammad rolled over and got up, I learned that he could really take a punch! Nobody could ever question Muhammad's whiskers after he rose from that shot.

marchegiano007 · Post by **marchegiano007** » 06 Mar 2009, 17:09

YEAH I FORGOT THAT ONE TOO, FRAZIER FIRED THAT LEFT HOOK WITH ALL HIS BODY WEIGHT ON IT. AND ALY GOT UP. AMAZING!!

The punches that Hearns landed on Hagler would have finished almost any other MW

wow Duran almost did a full 360 haha
What a chin gives me a whole new respect for the power of hearns.

Barkley man,

I was amazed Gatti survived that rip in the 9th from Ward. Alot of men would have given up and looked for an excuse to get the 10 count overwith only to regret it a minute later when the feeling went away but he fought through it.

Julio Gonzales peeling himself off the floor against that monster of a shot Letterlough landed on him.

Lennox landed a crushing right hand flush to the head of Butler and he just absorbed it.

People say Seldon didn't have a chin but he definatley had something I remember him getting hit with a shot by someone can't remember who and he just shook it off.

There are so many I can't remember right now.

In the amatuers, david haye caught solis with a massive shot in the first 20 seconds that had solis almost completely out but his head cleared on the way down and amazingly he stayed on his feet and recovered to win the fight

Michael Moorer should have been gone on the back of Bert Cooper's monster right hand in the opening seconds of their meeting. He survived.

Cleveland Williams landed some huge shots off the head of Sonny Liston. Punches which were proven KO shots, against many tough contenders of the day.

Seamus · Post by **Seamus** » 07 Mar 2009, 21:21

The shot Ali took from Shavers in the 2nd round. Ali turned being seriously hurt into an opportunity to taunt Shavers. Some years later he said "Shavers never knew how bad I was hurt"

Just about every punch Foreman landed on Frazier in their first meeting should've spelled the end. They don't come any tougher.

Goodnight, Irene · Post by **Goodnight, Irene** » 07 Mar 2009, 23:16

It was a pretty rare instance, wasn't it?

Goodnight, Irene · Post by **Goodnight, Irene** » 07 Mar 2009, 23:21

I have sometimes pondered the macabre --- if Foreman & Frazier were contemporaries of the turn-of-the-century fighters, what would've happened if that bout took place with 6 oz, horse-hair gloves, no neutral-corner rule, no mandatory eight-count, & in a time when ref's were much slower to stop bouts in protection of fighters?

With Frazier's imconceivable amount of guts, I really do wonder where it'd end. He was, after all, up on his feet all six times --- even more interesting, he rises from each knockdown in the second round quicker than the last

I don't know what made the great Larry Holmes get up from the shot from KO Artist Earnie Shavers...It was a blow that many heavyweights would not come back nor get up and fight. What a blow.

witherspoon · Post by **witherspoon** » 08 Mar 2009, 09:42

I saw (on video) Jose Torres knock Willie Pastrano down with a left hook to the body every bit as nasty as the ones which finished de La Hoya and Castillo. Pastrano used the ropes to pull himself up and fought for two more rounds.

yes big right hand, and in the same round he was knock down by renaldo snipes. the punch was equally as hard as shavers right hand.

after getting up from snipes' right larry was face first into the turn buckle.

What!? Snipes was no puncher by anyone's standards, much less in comparison to Shavers. Snipes' knockdown of Holmes is proof-positive of the power of a perfect punch.

Snipes couldn't put Holmes away because he just didn't have the real hitting power necessary.

Must admit, I thought Marquez was all done in the first round of his initial fight with Pacquiao on that third knockdown. When he placed his gloves over his face, nose profusely running claret, I thought, "That'll do it."

Sorry, Juan
