Most brutal KO

[thunderfromdownunder]

and more recently Martinez Williams. Though it dosent really qualify for this forum

Jackson vs Graham for me in the poll.

But, strangely enough Jackson's KO loss to Gerald McClellan in their first fight was awesome, Jackson was launched about 10 feet across the ring and spread eagled.

Also, Hamed vs Sanchez (Hamed showed pure spite and pummeled Sanchez into the Canvas)
Maskaev vs Rahman (1st fight, Rahman went limp and fell from the ring through the announcers table)
McCall vs Akinwande (1 punch, Akinwande pitched face first and lay on bottom rope)
Toney vs Williams (Spectacular! Williams went down arching backwards like a scene from the Matrix)
Klitschko vs Hide (Herbie was paralysed by a jab!)
Nunn vs Kalambay (Nunn's 1 punch KO of durable, never been stopped champion)
McCallum vs Watson (Poor Mike Watson worn down then KO'd with perfect 1-2 combo)
Tyson vs Holmes (Holmes a legend, brutalised by hungry Mike, never been done before)

When you look at the Pacman-Hatton KO you just got to love the photo


And for me it is just the look on Kenny Bayless' face that makes it for me and he is going. No point in giving the count he has been completely bulldozed.

Manny looks guilty of something.

Henry Coopers knockout over Joe Erskine (3rd fight) was brutal. See link and forward to 8mins 50 seconds.

Leaves Erskine hanging over bottom rope if my memory serves me correctly.

I'm going to avoid talking about the life taking KO's.

The most brutal once punch KO is Mark Wills vs Greg Page.

Page gets taken back to his corner because his mouth piece has come out. Then he turns around and walks towards centre ring. Wills launches a howitzer of a right hand and down he goes.

Blaming the boxer shows lack of common sense or practical boxing knowledge. Holding up is not only dangerous, it is un-professional. It is the ref or the corner or the doctor's job to stop the fight. Machen's corner should have charged into the ring to stop the fight if they had to.

"Holding up is not only dangerous, it is un-professional"

Too bad that you can't share some more of your wisdom with Benny Kid Paret.

You write like someone who has been watching boxing for less than a couple of months.

Griffith did nothing wrong. Griffith did what Corrales did to Castillo, what Mercer did to Morrison, what Foreman did to Lyle, what Robinson did to Turpin... got his opponent hurt and on the ropes and kept punching until the fight was over. Unlike those fighters, he had the very unfortunate luck of having had his opponent die as a result. This is the sometimes sad nature of boxing, but blaming it on the fighter is absurd and ignoble. Griffith did to Paret what Fulmer did to Paret, and doubtless what Paret would have done if he had hurt Griffith.... kept punching. Scoring a knockout is part of the game; if you're going to attack fighters who do so then you need not pretend to be a fan. But all Griffith did was his job, he is not a murderer. It is the ref's job to stop the fight. Apparently its your job to be a Monday morning quarterback.

Blaming Johannson for what happened in the Machen fight is misplaced anger and shows a lack of perspective. You're blaming the fighter for finishing his opponents, which is what most any fighter would do, and taking the focus away from the one who does deserve blame; the unprofessional referee.

Frazier didn't exactly go easy on hurt opponents, yet I somehow doubt that you weren't cheering. Quit singling out and slandering these fighters.

Griffith vs Paret

[Brutu]

This one of the most brutal KO's ever on live television.
From 1981.
Interesting enough in watching this again,it appears it was actually a right hand that knocked him semi-unconscious.
