Good shout.. Was definitely a good shot. Loved the way he landed the uppercut and body shot.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Crawford KO on Indongo wasn't too bad.. Not near top 10 though.

[Kalan]

What Heavyweight Champion, besides Fitz drilling Corbett, ever scored a famous 1-punch body shot KO? ... It's the most lethal division.

I don't believe that left hook to De La Hoya from Hopkins was a particularly smashing body shot... It was the LAST KO punch Bernard ever threw. I've never seen anyone react to a liver shot by rolling around and pounding the canvas with their fist... You throw all that energy into getting up.

Marcos Maidana dropped like a sack of cement and immediately struggled to get to his feet when Amir Khan dropped him with a perfect liver shot.. He beat the count and Khan couldn't follow up with anything good.

Ahh yes, The Legendary Solar Plexus Punch. That definitely fits the bill.
