The greatest one punch knockouts in boxing history?

[f read]

I can think of several Foreman-Moorer Nunn-Kalambay Robinson-Fullmer Curry-MCcrory these are just a few i can think of. Tank Davis-Lopez just the other night devastating.

[f read]

Davis vs DeLacruz on Saturday sorry for the error.

[gilgamesh]

You could go on and on and on with a thread like this.

Martinez vs Paul Williams (Rematch)

Arturo Gatti vs Gabe Ruelas

[bwu]

Michael Spinks—Marvin Johnson.

[DrDuke]

Tommy Morrison vs David Jaco (left hook)

Tommy Morrison vs Harry Terrell (overhand right)

Joe Frazier vs Dave Zyglewicz (left hook)

Floyd Patterson vs Ingemar Johansson II (left hook)

Evander Holyfield vs Adilson Rodrigues (overhand right)

[orbtastic]

Hearns Shuler
McCallum Curry

[Flump]

Where to start! I'll throw in...

Marciano - Walcott
Walcott - Charles
Foster - Tiger
Arguello - Rooney

[DrDuke]

Marciano - Walcott

I don't consider it a one punch KO, because Marciano threw a one-two, where the jab was more of a feint, but still it paved the way for the right hand. Furthermore, Marciano added left hook, after iced Walcott leaned on the ropes.

Yeah that Rooney KO is brutal. It’s on the same top rank knockouts vid as the other two. As with the shuler KO, the shots before set it up.

I get what your're saying, but as you also say, the jab was a feint and the left hook was just a typical touch of sportsmanship from the Rock, it was one punch which rendered Walcott limp. I don't want to fall out over it though.

I had that video, some crackers on there.

[AntonioMartin]

Technically not a one punch KO but the first punch that floored Milton McCrory versus Donald Curry was a beauty...

How about Julian Jackson versus Herol Graham?

Jack Dempsey vs Jack Sharkey was a bit of a cheap shot like Mayweather-Ortiz but it was a great one punch KO as well!

Lennox Lewis in rematch with Hasim Rahman...hardest Punch I ever saw.

Lennox Lewis in rematch with Hasim Rahman...hardest lunch I ever saw.

There was a clearly two-punch combo, both landed.

[orbtastic]

Donaire vs Vic D
Donaire vs Montiel, the last two punches were unnecessary and academic, the huge left hook left him twitching.

Clearly the jab was just used to set up the one punch knockout?

Lennox Lewis in rematch with Hasim Rahman...hardest Punch I ever saw.

The thing that always makes me laugh about that, is that Hasim Rahman was actually told by his corner "When he attacks. Just stick your arms straight out like this here. That stops everything"

That was exactly what he was doing when Lennox Lewis knocked his f*cking block off with that roundhouse right that ended it.

Stupidest f*cking strategy I've ever heard from a Professional Boxer's team.

Yeah. No way in hell I would've let Montiel continue even 1 second after that. He was convulsing on the ground trying to get up for f*cks sake. He's finished.

I consider it a 1 punch KO.

Wow, I didn't pay attention to this act of pure dumbness. That's just ridiculous.

Watch the whole fight back. It's worth it for the comedy of this. After I wanna say the 3rd round (maybe the 2nd). Hasim Rahman's corner actually TELLS HIM to do this (The Coach even sticks his arms straight out to show him a physical example of what he means), and he's doing exactly what he was told at the moment he gets knocked out.

It's f*cking hilarious.

And how Rahman didn't know that this was a stupid idea says a lot about him too. He actually gets hit with a hard right hand doing this BEFORE the knockout shot in one of the earlier rounds, and he just keeps doing it.

Yeah, I remember Lewis tagging him with the same shots all the night long, while Rahman was taking it with his head going back and arms being thrown straight. I thought, it was a sort of a flaw, from which Rahman just wasn't able to get rid of, but no, it was a f*cking gameplan!

That fight actually marks the beginning of my becoming a die hard Boxing fan, and I still to this day have never seen stupider advice from someone's trainer or corner.

I've seen some that comes close, like Mickey Bey being told he needed to go out and win the final round against John Molina in a fight where up to that point he was winning 9 rounds to 0, and he followed this advice, and got himself knocked out in the 10th, but yeah "sticks your arms out. That stops everything" is the single stupidest advice I've ever heard.
