50 greatest knockouts in boxing history.

As I'm going to be without the Internet in my new house for over a month it is giving me a great chance to write this article. However I was wondering if anyone from here had any suggestions that they'd like me to include.

Walcott Uppercut of Ezzard Charles

Gorgeousssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Marciano v Walcott
Liston v Westphal
Foreman v Cooney
Tyson v Johnson

Just afew heavyweight icings that spring to mind.

Wayne Alexander v Takaloo

As Shah got the ball rolling on uppercuts, I'll also add Matthew Saad Muhammad-Lottie Mwale and Azumah Nelson-Pat Cowdell to the mix. Videos below!

Marquez v Pacquaio 4

Hagler v Hearns and more importantly Hearns vs Duran have to be in there.

Not sure if they are big enough to be considered but from the first series of Stallones Contender, there was a fight between Jessie Brinkley vs Bonsante(or something like that).

The whole production of it was immense!

martinez v williams II

Have to have Saad Muhammad's uppercut against mwale in there....

Robinson v Fullmer
Hearns v Shuler
MCcallum v Curry
Curry v Mccrory
Fitz v Corbett............
Louis v Paychek
Weaver v Tate
Lamotta v Dauthville
Tyson v Berbick
Lewis v Rahman
Marciano v Walcott
Leonard v Price
Willard v Johnson
Jackson v Graham
Starling v Breland
Spinks v Johnson
Foreman v Cooney
Carnera v Sharkey
Nelson v Cowdell

Truss leave something for hampo to do!

Seriously though, great effort.

Julio Cesar Vasquez against Carl Daniels, too. One of the great fight saving punches.

James Toney against 'Prince' Charles Williams was as clean as they come, and you could throw in any of Bob Foster's stoppages of Quarry, Finnegan, Tiger or Rondon. The Quarry one is probably my favourite out of all of them.

Oh, and Donaire's left hand which took out Vic Darchinyan looks better and better every time you watch it, in light of what Darchinyan has been able to do after taking it.

Spoiler:

Foster v Tiger.....great call.........

Lockridge v Mayweather........
Pendleton v Mayweather
Hearns v Cuevas
Hill v Stewart
Jackson V Drayton............
Leonard v Green
Norris v Mugabi

Maywesther v Hatton and doubt it would make it due to the calibre of the boxers but Sprott v Audley

Julian Jackson vs Herol Graham

I never forget that one. In fact probably half of Jacksons ko's could be considered. I'll try & find the link mackem put up of Jackson ko's.

Found it, for those who don't know Jackson or missed when Mackem posted it check it out!

I think the right hand (the follow up left really just nudged him on his way down, in comparison!) which Rodrigo Valdez took out Bennie Briscoe with in their second fight must be up there, too. Amazing punch and remember, absolutely nobody else ever managed to do that to Briscoe - not Hagler, not Monzon, absolutely nobody. Devastating punch and Briscoe did well just to give himself a chance of continuing.

For sheer devastation...Ruddock-Dokes.

Ricardo Lopez v Ava Vilamor. Possibly my favourite uppercut of all time and Vilamor folded like an accordion. A sickening punch but beautifully executed.

Was that the knockout with quite a delayed reaction, Superfly? If it's the same one I'm thinking of then yes, it was an absolute beauty - one which Tina ordered me to look at some time ago!

Just watched it, that uppercut was brutal, Lopez has awesome technique. Loved the metaphor, 'He folded like an accordion'

Orlando Canizales v Billy Hardy 2

couldn't put it in the top 50 but Wlads ko of eddie chambers generated a lot of power from a short distance

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoBcr-NMT7I 1:25 onwards.

That is a beauty of a punch. He unleashed another devastating knockout in his very next outing against Kitichai Preecha as well. Left jab, right hand, left uppercut. Boom. Flattened him. Personally, I prefer it to the Villamor uppercut but there is not much in it.

He was a wrecking ball, that little chap.

Cheers for these so far guys. Will be doing some research possibly tonight before getting started.

Rahman knocking out Lewis?

Hamed taking Sanchez out with a beautiful three punch combination.

Dorian Yates knockout of Shawn Ray....six times running..
