The right hand Leotis Martin knocked out Sonny Liston with.
That was just a surreal knockout.
I first saw it on the HBO documentary in 1995,and even tho it happened
in 1969 I was still shocked to see it.
There wasnt youtube back then in those days(except for a selected few) to see it or the inter-net to look up Liston's ring record.

I believe skelp has already catalouged and defined this moment in boxing history.
skelp wrote:The uppercut that Eubank used against Michael Watson, I believe was a martial arts technique aimed at maiming or killing his opponent.
Eubank mentions in his book that he trained in Chinese Boxing, or as it is also known Wing Chun. The punch appears to land at a 45 degree angle to the chin. In Martial Arts circles it is known by those trained to a high level that by striking the human anatomy at a 45 degree angle it is possible to break joints, rupture muscle tissue or even kill.
I believe that Eubank deliberately threw that punch with the intention of decapitating Watson. Only Watson's strong neck development prevented his skull from seperating from his spine.
What do you other guys think?

I dont know if it was an impressive punch,
but check out the Jeff Sims thread,of the youtube link to Tyrell Biggs vs Sims.
At the beginning they show a brief clip of Sims knocking out Floyd"Jumbo" Cummings in the 8th round.
