When he starched Roberto Duran or when he clobbered Pipino Cuevas? My uncle and i discussed this earlier and we bet on how many answers for each would be on here, help us out!

Cuevas got KOd with about 35 seconds left in the 2nd round, the little dance he does before he actually falls never stops to make me laugh out loud (not as good as Joe Frazier's dancing as he got pummeled by Foreman) but still a riot. Cuevas got up rather quick for such a huge punch, he should've took a knee and waited it out to clear his head. Had he done so the ref may not have stopped it, but he got up and looked like he just drank a fifth of Jack Daniels as he stumbled backward.
But I have to vote for the Duran KO. Capacity crowd 90% pro-Duran all booing for Hearns as he gets introduced, ding rd one. With about a minute to go Hearns throws an overhand right that seems to have a guidance system as it lands right on Duran's jaw, bammm down he goes. Duran gets up quick and looks to be complaining to Ref Padilla, like it was a slip not a knockdown, the fact that he is swaying side to side as he complains kinda gave it away, HELLO!!
Duran survives the first rd, had trouble making it to his corner after that "slip" lol, he actually goes to the nuetral corner by mistake, yeah you slipped alright on Hitmans fist. Ding rd 2 The Hitman looks like he can taste the KO, he is all business. Duran is pawing at Hearns to try and avoid getting hit, ah nice try. Roberto is taking alot of punishment running around the ring.
At about one minute into the round, Hearns gets Duran up against the ropes and hits him with 10 or more unanswered punches, but that last overhand right drops Roberto like he had no life left. The best, and what made me vote for this KO was the stupid look on Duran's face when he lifts his head off the canvas, he actually has a grin (teeth and all) almost looks like he is laughing but you can see he is not even home, leave a message at the beep.
Well hope that helped to show why I voted the way I did, honorable mention below. And I put a URL where u can go view all the fights I have listed here, FREE. Have fun.
My honorable mention in the case of the Hitman, Iran Barkley taking a beating, blood pouring into his eyes, swelling closing his eyes, Barkley throws a "hail mary" and cole cocks the Hitman, if you got up to use the bathroom you were pissed off when u got back. Richard Steele lets Hearns continue with about 26 seconds left, Barkley jumps on Hearns and lands another hay maker sending Hearns through the ropes onto the commentators at ringside, shocking KO.
It looks like clifton forgot to take his meds he's back running around saying "yeah what they said" lmao.

Duran. That was when Hearns was moving into his Motor City Cobra phase, when his KO power wasn't so evident. Duran had the reputation of having one of the best chins in boxing history, and Hearns just crushed him.
The Cuevas KO was great, but the odds were all for Hearns, fighting at home and all.

cuevas was the bigger shock....well maybe not but the more devastating knockout was the duran fight hard to beat that one weaver tate was a classic as well.

pancho - whichever of you picked Duran is a lock.
Duran - it's the most devastating one-punch kayo I have ever seen.
Who remembers Barkley's kayo of Hearns? That's up there, too.
