What is the most brutal, the most devastating, the best knockout of all-time?
My vote goes to Ray Mercer’s KO over Tommy Morrison. WOW! That was brutal. After Morrison was revived they sat him down on his stool and he was still bobbin and weavin tryin to avoid punches. He was out of it. :o
Jersey Joe Walcott Vs Ezzard Charles (a hybrid left hook/uppercut, sick timing)
Rocky Marciano Vs Jersey Joe Walcott
Mike Tyson Vs Trevor Berbick (he knocked him down three times with one shot, that was a peach!)
Chris Eubank Vs Reginaldo Dos Santos
Chris Eubank Vs John Jarvis
DD, I am surprised you responded to one of my topics, I was under the impression we were no longer on speaking terms. ;D
I agree the Berbick KO was a good one. Especially after all the smack Berbick talked about doin the nasty with Tyson’s then wife.
Tyson didn’t have a wife until 1988. He fought Berbick in 1986.
Julian Jackson over Herol Graham (obvious one), and more recently Carl Thompson on the brink of defeat against Sebastian Rothman.
Zab judah v kostya

totally agree that was brutal
You can take you pick from most of Iron Mike’s collection. Such awesome power.
Now ill second that! ![]()
Probably not the best of all time but a great knockout anyway was by Wayne Alexander on the undercard of Hatton Kostya. He turned the guy all the way round with the punch! Plus he was losing, a lucky boy!!
Surprised no-one has mentioned Maussa yet, that was class ;D
I’d choose this one too.
Also Robinson/(i think it was) Basillio & McCallum/Curry. There’s something about a left hook KO.
Alexander’s KO against Takaloo wasn’t bad :o
Exactly what I was going to say. Takaloo looked retarded (literally) after he got hit… his eyes where so vacant looking, haha.
Ibeabuchi’s TKO punch to Byrd was sick. I don’t know how Chris got back to his feet so quickly… http://homepage.eircom.net/~oggie85/IkeKOByrd.WMV
Sugar Ray Robinson baby!
Ko’d Gene Fulmer in the 5th round by a devastating well timed left hook.
Commentator: That left hook was delivered like a bolt of lighting! Fulmer is down for the first time in his career!
Referee: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. YOU’RE OUT!
And Gene Fulmer’s FINISHED!! For the FIRST TIME IN HIS CAREER, and the last.
Sugar Ray Robinson becomes the middleweight champion for the 3RD TIME!
ps. i think it was the 3rd time anyway.
very few knockouts watching them on tv get my adrenaline going but the julian jackson ko was fookin awsome :o
Erm… I liked Lennox Lewis’ KO of Hasim Rahman in their rematch. I think it broke his jaw ??? O0
Razor Ruddick beat someone with a great knockout. Not sure the name of the opponent though.
Manuel “Shotgun” Gomez landing the most perfect right hand you have ever seen, after he was on the canvas twice in the round (all of this in the first round), came back and put a straight, crippling right hand to the jaw of Jeff “the Thrill” Hill… and it was good night… that was one of the best one round fight ever… ;D
Do u mean when Ruddock knocked out Michael Dokes?
This topic has been done some times. Crikey!
Yeah thats the one
