The best would have to be Marciano over Walcott, Walcott's face looked like silly putty.

Yeah grimm i agree and the thing that made it even more special was the punch didnt travel more than 6 inches. it wasnt an over hand right he threw that knocked rex layne out cold. IT WAS A JOE LOUIS SHORT CRISP POWER PUNCH. mike tyson also had a similiar short punch.

Still think Tyson-Berbick was a great knockout. Three knockdowns with one punch. Pretty special!!

Sam Peter's knockout of Jeremy Williams was a good one, too. One of those where the punch lands and you know there's no need for the ref to bother counting.

Was that in the second fight? I've only seen the first where it's an accumulation stoppage, though I think Ernie suffered a bad knockdown at one point where he sort of got caught face first up on the ropes. Napoles was a beast that night.

One that hasn't been mentioned yet:

Primo Carnera KO'ing Jack Sharkey with a brutal right uppercut.

MANOS DE ORO , SHARKEY TOOK A DIVE. i know he denies it but he clearly did. he outclassed carner over 15 rounds a couple eyars earlier and then outclassed him for 5 rounds before suddenly going down in the 6th. it wasnt because of carneras power, it was the underwold. it was A FIX.

Too bad the picture punch isn't the knockout punch, so his face didn't look like putty.

Brockton: to be honest, the first time I saw it I thought it looked dodgy. I replayed it once in slow motion, looking at Sharkey's back, and saw it rise in tandem with the supposed 'impact'. And left it at that.

I rewatched it after reading your comment and do find it questionable now. Looking closer, the sudden back movement could easily be motion blur from the old film stock. Sharkey's face has a strange looking fishy pout as his head swings back, though his eyes do look to be rolling upward as his back hits the ropes. It's not unconceivable these things were faked.

I have to say though, even though I think Sharkey was beating him on points, it was no shut out (IMO). Carnera used his reach as fellow big men Lennox Lewis and Vitali Klitschko do - pushing it outward not really with the intention to hit, but to keep the opponent from getting in their comfort circle.

He also appeared to frequently give him trouble with scything upward blows (Razor Ruddock style) as Jack tried to jab/duck his way in. By the sixth round he looked like he had begun to solve part of the problem by using a semi-cross-arm type guard in close - it's quite hard to see but if you pause the film you can see he sometimes holds his left knuckles tight against the chin, palm open wide, facing downwards. He blocks a couple of shots using that shortly before he gets 'knocked out'.

Is there any footage of this 'knockout' from the opposite angle to the main one? At first I thought it was a forearm smash to the neck, but when I watched it again it looked more like a 'thumbercut'.

One Punch Knockouts

Post by Chuck1052 »

Of the recent brutal one punch knockouts, how about Ann Wolfe
vs. Vonda Ward?

Two brutal one punch knockouts include Mathew Saad Muhammad
vs. Lotte Mwale and Carlos Palomino vs. Dave "Boy" Green. Mwale
was flattened by a tremendous left uppercut while Green was
pole axed by a beautiful left hook to the jaw. Come to think
of it, Sugar Ray Leonard also flattened Green with a left
hook to the jaw.

Eddie Mustafa Muhammad doing dental work on Lotte Mwale was also brutal, though I've got a feeling it was a 3 or 4 punch combo.

My choice

Post by tagjohnson »

I would have to pick Bob Foster over Mike Quarry for all time. From what I understand it was a good fifteen minutes before Mike regained conciousness. Another candidate IMHO would be Earnie Shavers over Ken Norton. I saw the fight and caught a news report later that night and reporter said that a half hour after the fight Ken still didn't know what had happened.

Did you catch how Johnson wipes Ketchel's teeth off of his glove right after landing the fight ending bomb?
