Comments Thread For: The 20 most unforgettable one-punch knockouts

Agreed. The whole sequence was cinematic and perfectly staged in the center of the ring. Total visual clarity from any angle.
As textbook in all regards as it can get.

- They're telling him not to counterpunch!
THUD, THUD.
- Boom! Can Rahman get up from that?!!
(Rahman staggers to his feet, blood dripping from his nose, looks at ref and falls, Lewis punches his chest).
- Lennox lewis got his revenge!

That's right - it wasn't just maybe the very best KO sequence of all time....it was a REVENGE KO!
Thank you for reminding me.
They say life imitates art - well, there you have it.

I remember watching that live with a boxing fan buddy.
I think the first thing I said was, "Did you hear that???"
Not, "Did you see that?"
The sound was unlike anything I had heard in a situation like that.

Rahman must of lost like 50 IQ right there and then.

I haven’t seen every last KO on this list, but I’m surprised not to see Manny’s crusher against Hatten, and Hearn’s rifle-shot versus Duran. Both those are indelibly etched in my mind.

Holyfield vs. Rodrigues
Tua vs. Moorer
Donaire vs. Darchinyan
Donaire vs. Morel (although somehow he got up)
Holyfield vs. Douglas
Ali vs. Liston II
Tyson vs. Spinks
RJJ vs. Art Serrano (Zombie shot)
Malignaggi vs.......

LOL

Vince Pettway vs Simon Brown.

This is THE one, incredible how it was disregarded.

Alternatively, I'm even more surprised that no one remembered Jimmy Thunder's first-punch KO of Crawford Grimsley. Both Brown and Grimsley were still trying to fight while in their sleep.

And while we're at it... Tyson vs Botha, anyone?

[BritJimbo]

Ray Mancini-Orlando Romero...also, Juan Meza-Jaime Garza....

I left high school a while ago.

[Wacked_Out]

Nakatani vs Moloney
Charlo vs Lubin
Wilder vs Breazeale
Weaver vs Tate
Teofimo vs Menard
I hadnt seen some of those British fights.
