Greatest KOs...but...

That is…knockouts you’ve never seen.

Give me a knockout you’ve heard or read was good, but for one reason or another you’ve never seen.

Hopefully someone here might be able to give some info…

I’ll start with a few…

Valdez-Briscoe II

Always impressive when a puncher manages to “move” a durable fighter. Both from the same weight class too.

Charles-Moore III

Again, impressive when one guy is (according to Boxrec) getting the worst of it but pulls a shot out of the bag.

Dempsey-Sharkey

Okay, technically I have seen it but the film quality was so poor…

Frazier knocking out Doug Jones in '67.

According to the Sports Illustrated writeup, it was a very impressive knockout, but I never have seen a film of the fight.

I think I'm right in saying that footage of the first two Zale/Graziano fights doesn't exist? I have seen footage of the 2nd one, although it's silent and seemingly filmed from row Z so it could actually be anyone.

Don't think any footage of any of the Charles/Moore fights exists.

I'm pretty sure the Graziano-Zale II footage is legit. It looks like them, anyway, and I remember seeing it on ESPN Classic once, briefly.

If I could see any KO not filmed, aside from the aforementioned Charles-Moore III, it would probably be Jeanette stopping McVea in that 49 round, 40+ knockdown fight.
