Mine was Hearns vs. Duran, Hearns landed the ultimate punch, Duran ended up face down on the canvas. What are yours?

Judah - Tszyu was amazing. I hadn't seen that before. Wish I could find the rest online that I'm not familiar with. I remember Hearns-Cuevas and Weaver-Tate, those were solid KOs too.

Rossonero 2006 ~
The knockout that still puts chills up my spine is the Ray Mercer knockout of Tommy Morrison. This fight was for the WBO title in 1991, Tommy was winning the fight with hand speed and the much harder punches, the bell rings for the 5th round and Tommy starts to paw at Ray with his jab and then Ray catches Tommy with a left hook and proceeds to pummel Tommy unlike any knockout I've ever seen before, even the referee was in a state of astonishment and didn't do his job for a few seconds. Tommy gets helped back to his corner and he's sitting there weaving on the stool like he's avoiding Ray's punches. The ugliest knockout ever!
Thanks for the question Rossonero.

Too many for just one, in no specific order:
McCallum/Curry
Marciano/Walcott
Hearns/Cuevas
Hearns/Duran
Foreman/Frazier
Mercer/Morrison
Benitez/Hope
Tate/Weaver
Duran/Kobayashi
Moore/Durelle
Holmes/Cooney - even being champ Holmes got no respect. This may not be the most exciting or a one punch kayo or a historic kayo but if I had to pick one this would be it. The way they pumped up Cooney it was great to see Holmes knock him out.

Julian Jackson KO4 Herol Graham. Herol was winning hands down with his elusive style and Jackson was on the verge of getting stopped, until Jackson unwound a monster haymaker right flush on Graham's chin! Graham was out cold before he hit the canvas.
Check out other Julian Jackson KO's on youtube.com: vs. Terry Norris (frightening!)

favorite KO of all time.
though there are many that are very entertaining.
a recent good one was when Lennox Lewis dropped
Hasim Rachman and the way Rachman fell,
his head ended up in the "O" of the Don King Logo.
so it looked like he was wearing a crown while he laid
motionless on the mat.
take a look at this link and picture his head in it...

I couldnt find the image on the net, but i have seen one in a boxing promoters office from an aerial view...amazing.

sorry couldn't pick just one, there're just too many...
hmmm, my memory betrays me, but it was either simon brown or marlon starling who got knocked out cold, went down stiff, with their arm in the air. once they hit the canvas they were punching upwards into the air...chilling! actually, think that was brown, on 2nd thought...though starling got knocked cold one time and when they interviewed him in the ring afterwards and asked him about the ko, he'd replied w/shock that he hadn't even been knocked down...the dude had no memory of any of it!
hearns duran was a fave bec i didn't like duran then...he looked dead on the way down!
tyson vs holmes, bec i didn't like holmes either. he'd gotten what i had thought he had coming all those years! so enjoyable!
tyson vs botha...from out of nowhere....the perfectly executed punch. it was textbook perfect!
louis vs schmeling2 - i'd never seen louis more lethal before or since
ali-foreman - only one of the reasons he was the greatest! almost no one gave him a chance...people thought they were coming to ali's funeral, but big george was the victim. one can only imagine the rush ali had after that overwhelmingly satisfying moment!

Ali knocking out George forman. It looked like Foreman was about to pu Ali away with a serios beating when out of no where it was over. Foreman looked unbeatable up til then.
