by TRUSSMAN66 Tue 14 Feb 2012 - 16:15
1. The picture of Ali standing over Liston telling him to get up..
2. Lamotta sagging but unbowed on the ropes in the Valentines day massacre
3. Marciano with his nose almost completely devastated throwing a right hand at Charles...
4. Johnson with his hands spread wide on the ropes wiping teeth of his gloves as the referee makes the count over Ketchel..
5. Johnson with his hands over his face being counted out against Willard..
6. Tyson trying to get up whilst putting his gumshield in his mouth against Douglas.
7. Tunney with his right arm on the top rope and on the canvas against Dempsey...
8. Corbett holding his solar plexus whilst Fitz looks on...
Seem to be pictures that tell a thousand words.magic moments!!!..Images that will last for ever...Are there any better additions I've forgotten..

Have always found the one of Eubank with his head back roaring when he stopped Benn to be one that has stuck with me, great shot from a great fight.

Morales sitting on the canvas, conscious but not getting up in the third Pacquiao fight.
Ali walking with his back to the camera and hands in the air after Foreman was counted out.
Any staredown involving Wilfred Benitez

Morales - Manny reminded me a bit of Arguello-Pryor 2....when the fighter say's you know I've tried and I can't do it....(no shame in that)

Two for me
1. Benn stairing at Eubank just before the bell goes for round one of their first fight
2. Eubank stairing into the camera after beating that Brazilian guy in about 15 seconds

For me it has to be Fraizer's knockdown of Ali.
Have that shot up on my living room wall as a canvas

Tony Sibson shouting out in frustration after taking a standing 8 count against Dennis Andries, and realising the end is near, brave as a lion Sibbo.

Not quite a still image but the slow motion close up of Amir Khan's jaw being punched out of alignment when he got knocked out against Prescott will be etched in my mind forever!

Same regarding Eubanks uppercut in watson 2 - no matter what happened afterwards - I remember that moments clearly - BANG! on the point of the chin. Havent seen an uppercut to match it.

I thought of that one too right after I posted. Both similarly built guys - long, lean latinos crumpled on the canvas after a long and tough career full of wars. I don't think anyone would question either guy's heart.

Duran's skip routine when he knew that Leonard was in the room.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zKtj1o41nQ
3 minutes. Absolutely incredible.
Duran's training - when he did it - was incredible - it was focused, it was elegant, it was smooth and it was beautiful. Much is made today of Mayweather's skip routine - but even he is placed in the shade by what Duran could make a rope do.

Walcott's face after Marciano caught him with a big right hand.
Perhaps not a boxing moment that will live forever, but an amusing one nonetheless, is Julius Francis advertising a newspaper on the soles of his boots during his fight with Tyson. I guess he went into that fight with his glass half empty.

Ali after the first Liston fight. Leaning over the top rope with his right arm out stretched, telling the the press how he shocked the world and must the be greatest.
Also the ariel shot of Ali standing over Cleveland Williams is a good one.

Amir Khan going the chicken dance, stumbling all over the place after Prescott had caught him.
Zab Judah attempting to tell Kostya Tszyu he wasn't hurt while falling around everywhere!
Probably the two stand out ones for me! (I like funny KO's)

Definitely the overhead shot of Ali - Williams. Awesome photography.
The shot landing from Lennox that poleaxed Rahman in their second fight.
Unfortunately, McClellan kneeling in the corner with his gumshield hanging out.
Hamed shouting at Robinson "Who's the hardest hitting featherweight?!" as Robinson is on the floor again...

I love that one. Such an utter waste of manpower. They should have just let Tyson loose, watched Lennox despatch him before the bell started and save us the pain of watching a once great fighter get humiliated over 8 rounds.

Got to agree Tina, is a good picture but is nonsense and unneccesary, tell the pair of em any stupid stuff before the bell you're both banned for life and your purses are going to a donkey sanctuary. They will behave like choir boys.

It was purely for the TV exec's, that one. I always got the impression that Tyson was intimidated by Lewis at this point in Mike's career. The 'brawl' at the presser was no worse than kicking out time, and I doubt Tyson would have tried anything, anyway!
I donated some money to a donkey sanctuary once and they were supposed to write back with a package of photo's. I never saw it, and I now suspect that donkey sanctuaries don't actually exist.

One of my favourite shots and moments of all time, that. Redemption for a guy who wasn't respected and being described as a "fake champ".
