Best Knockouts/Stoppages?

I'm not a great lover of KOs but some are delivered with superb shots, what are the best?
Here's some quality KOs/Stoppages

Lennox Lewis vs Hasim Rahman 2
Miguel Cotto vs Zab Judah
Lennox Lewis vs Mike Tyson
James DeGale vs Paul Smith
Mike McCallum vs Donald Curry
Sergio Martinez vs Paul Williams
Manny Pacquiao vs Ricky Hatton
Miguel Cotto vs Carlos Quintana
Shane Mosley vs Ricardo Mayorga
Ricardo Mayorga vs Vernon Forrest
David Haye vs Enzo Maccarinelli
there just a few recent ones

Jackson v Graham
Marciano v Walcott

Just a couple.

2 recent counter-punch KO/TKOs I like:
martinez v williams
donaire v montiel

Mercer on Morrison, brutal.

The most brutal, and at the same time picture-perfect one I've ever seen was Matthew Saad Muhammad's one-punch knockout of Lottie Mwale. Never seen a more ferocious uppercut in my life, absolutely superb stuff from 'Miracle Matthew.'

Marciano v Walcott I
Jackson v Graham
Robinson v Fullmer
Hearns v Duran
Patterson v Johansson II

Just five absolutely devastating kayos which always spring to mind when this question pops up.

Can't say I agree with Degale vs Smith, flurries of not very hurtful punches.

A good list though, may I add Harrison vs Sprott in the 12th round?

Alexander putting Takaloo to sleep is a peach. Leonard's stoppage of Green is about as picture perfect combination of punches imaginable

Lebedev on Jones Jr was a cracker too.

All very good choices. Among modern ones, would add the marvellous left cross from Donaire that separated Darchinyan from his senses. Still think that for sheer technical perfection and inventive genius, not to mention the consideration of the calibre of his victim's chin, Robinson's left hook to see off Fullmer would get my all-time vote.

Louis v Schmelling 2
Douglas v Tyson
Robinson v Fullmer
Dempsey v Willard
Johnson v Burns

Darnell “The Ding-A- Ling Man” vs Emmanuel Nwodo (won ESPN KO of the year a few years back.

Tua vs Ruiz
Hearns vs Duran
Marciano vs Walcott
Martinez vs Williams

I prefer the left hook donaire knocked Montiel out with. Beautifully executed, to KO someone like that with the left from the orthodox stance while basically standing still shows how much power he has. Just hope he's back in the ring soon.

My favourite as posted before is Kermit Cintron's against Matthysse:

watched hearns v duran yesterday - what a KO.
dont know why haye vs enzo is in the list - it was just a messy flurry of punches.

no one has mentioned hatton vs manny - too obvious?

oh, and the abraham one where he literally makes the guy slump unconscious to his knees. its sickeningly brilliant.

Hagler v Hearns is good as well, bang, stay down type. I mentioned Hatton Manny, no pleasure in seeing a quality guy and good fighter like Ricky get iced but that left hook counter was unstoppable, would be beautiful if we seen that land on Mayweather's chin one day.

was a sad moment to see hatton like that.
