David Tua and Ernie Shavers certainly had some brutal KOs

Tua's knockout of Moorer is so striking for me.

Moorer was such a killer as a punching machine previously; then to see him meekly KO'd like that is so strange.

It's a case of, what goes around, comes around.

Tua and Moorer were reportedly very good friends and had sworn never to fight - this may well of had a bearing on Moorer's lathargic display. Added to that Moorer was always an emotional type of fighter who could enthrall or bore in equal measure.

He was my favourite fighter whilst a light heavy and his initial forray into the heavyweight division brought about 2 all time great scraps in his meetings with Bert Cooper and Alex Stewart.

Shame he couldnt sustain that intensity and thirst for battle - his conditioning in later years refelcted the way in which he fell out of love with the sport.

For those who havent seen it, grab a beer, sit back and enjoy his all out war with Bert Cooper!

Mike McCallum stretching Don Curry was a good KO.

I've always loved Ali's KO over Foreman.

Tykemania · Post by **Tykemania** » 23 Dec 2007, 18:02

Not perhaps of the global import of one or two of the others but I don't think I've seen a punch kayo a fighter - and the favourite as well - like Michael Sprott did to Fraudley Embarrassin'! Absolute dynamite.

When Tua Boxed Moorer at the weigth in they shook hands and Moorer tried to squeze Tuas hand really hard. Tua said to him youve got strong hands . Tomorrow Im going to find out how strong your chin is.

Nearly as good as Tarver's dig at Roy Jones before their second fight - when the referee asked "any questions?" he came out with "Just one - you got any excuses this time Roy?"

Julian Jackson's devastating dismisal of Terry Norris shouldnt be overlooked; Norris wasnt known for having a great set of whiskers but I dont think it would have mattered, such was the weight of Jackson's dig:

Mike Tyson-Marvis Frazier.
Marvis was Joe's son, wasn't he?
He was Joe Frazier's son & poor Marvis was criminally mishandled by his father Joe.

It was bad enough that Joe put Marvis in with then champ, Larry Holmes in 1983, but it was an even bigger mistake to put him in with the rampaging tornado that was Mike Tyson in 1986. :(

You are wrong there mate. Joe got Marvis some excellent paydays.

He is indeed, and I remember him taking a pasting from Holmes on the ropes.

Arthur Abraham vs Koren Gevor - the way is head wobbles is sickening!

Alexis Arguello vs Ray Mancini - the punch was like a sledge hammer!

Thomas Hearns vs Roberto Duran - to fell Duran like that I shudder to think how hard tha punc was!

And as for Williams, why couldn't he have shown that kind of killer instinct in some of his other fights?
