what are your top 5 favorite kayo's of all time?

Question

for me personally, it goes something like this.....

#5 - ali/williams
#4 - hagler/hearns
#3 - ali/foreman
#2 - tyson/berbick
#1 - hearns/duran

Answer 1

Foreman over Frazier was a good one.

And how about Mancini over Kim? Tragic as Kim's death was.

Answer 2

1, Hagler Vs Hearns - 3 Rnd demolition job, culminating in one of the most devastating KOs ever

2, Ali Vs Foreman - Ali weren't meant to win this one against the younger and stronger wrecking machine, but broke him down methodically and put him away in the 8th decisively.

3, Hearns Vs Cuevas - Chicken dance part 1, if you haven't seen this try too, it shows the devastating punching power of the Hitman.

4, Tszyu Vs Judah - Chicken dance part 2, sorry to Judah fans but this one is hilarious.

5, Tyson Vs Berbick - This was when Tyson still had some control over the beast within, Clinical finish.

Ive been thinking and there are a few more i need to mention :

Tyson Vs Spinks
Tyson Vs Holmes
Shavers Vs Norton
Foreman Vs Frazier
Mercer Vs Morrison
Hearns Vs Duran
Benn Vs McClellan

And the one im waiting for to top my list is :

De La Hoya Vs Mayweather Jr.

Answer 6

Good question sir and you have an interesting list. I believe that was Ali's most impressive fight vs Williams by the way. Here are my top 5:

1. Marciano KO over Walcott (1st fight) Marciano was far behind on points and registered a one punch knockout.
2. Louis KO over Schmeling (2nd fight) Louis who had lost the first fight was all over Schmeling landing brutal punches.
3. Weaver KO over Tate. Weaver had lost nearly every round and lands bomb in 15th round that puts Tate to sleep
4. Hearns KO over Cuevas. Iron jaw of Cuevas fails him when the Hitman lands his right hand.
5. Patterson over Johannson (2nd fight) perfect left hook sprawls Johannson on canvas. Patterson first to regain title.

Honorable mention: Hearns KO over Duran, Hagler over Hearns, and Foreman over Lyle.

Answer 7

I like:

1. Maskiev ko of Rahman(first fight)
2. Mayweather ko of Gatti(nothing worse than crying in your corner
3. Zab Judah getting knocked out by the guy, and Judah got back up and said something to the ref and fell back out.
4. Lennox Lewis ko of Mike Tyson
5. Lennox Lewis ko of Hasim Rahman

Answer 8

hearnsvs duran,haglar vs hearns,cooney vs norton,tyson vs berbick,leonard vs lalonde

Answer 9

off the top of my Head 1 gotta be Tszyu-Judah :-),2 Jeff Harding-Dennis Andries 1(not really a KO,tko stoppage,last round Harding,unheralded aussie late substitute for donny lalonde,cops an awesome pasting thru most of the fight but huge heart and granite chin brings off great victory!3 Fenech-v Payakarun 4 Julian Jackson v Herol Graham (I'm sorry 'Bomber' Graham but u gotta laugh at the english caller Nick Horling when Jackson lands his huge one punch bomb knocking graham out cold u just hear this 'oh no' from Horling absolute classic!Graham only has to stand on his feet for a few more sec's and he wins the fight on cut's but alas Jackson pulls the bomb out of his *** and it's over!5 Valuev sends this black american guy into space on the undecard of i think Tszyu-Ismael Chavez years back in Newcastle,Australia,maybe the dudes name was sinclair babb or Nelson?Dead set Valuev gets this guy airborne in the 1st or 2nd round,I always remember that KO.
